Joshua Clottey reveals why he didn't throw punches against Pacquiao

[boliodogs]

I thought he did beat Cotto, He had an iron defense. If he had fought his best and thrown lots more punches at Pacquiao Pacquiao would still have won a one sided win because Pacquiao would have been able to land lots of clean hard punches. When Clottey goes into a defensive shell he is very hard to hit clean.

Glad people notice this. Pacquiao had more damage than Clottey in their fight.
He fought well in spurts.

Shame, he rather underachieved.

Clottey was such a frustrating fighter to watch. It always seemed like he was holding back like he had no desire to win.

I remember Pacquiao had blood coming out his ears after that fight. I don't know if his own blood settled in his ear or if he had some kind of injury.

I also remembered how excited Lampley got announcing the fight.

I thought it was because Hectari reported his quaker oats spilled out of his bag? Or wait maybe that was Brandon Rios, idk.

who cares

war hectari

Oh my bad it was banku stew that did Clottey in

After getting "BANG, BANG, BANG", as Lampley put it, Clottey felt the best defense is to turtle up.
