Pacquiao vs Clottey it is after the chicken Mayweather and others spoiled the megafight that could have changed the destiny of boxing. Drug-testing schedule was the issue raised. But it was obvious that someone was trying to duck the other. So, let us all move on. But don’t be quick to declare that in your fight results prediction, Pacquiao is a sure winner in a single round. Read on.

The Pacquiao – Clottey fight will take place on March 13, 2010 (March 14 in the Philippines) at the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas. HBO will once again televise it on PPV. Nobody, I suppose, would challenge that schedule on TV. Good thing the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Shane Mosley fight is scheduled on May, enough for the boxing fans to recoup what they will have to spend for the Pacquiao fight.

Should we say that it is a walk in the park for Manny? Or can Clottey, the hero of Ghana, spoil the fun and break Manny and Filipino boxing fans to tears? Clottey is no mean beast as he was beaten by Cotto and Margarito. But he is no easy prey either, as he holds a record of 35-3 with 20 knockouts and has notable wins against Zab Judah and Diego Corrales. Clottey declares that no southpaw has ever beaten him, and he has a formula in beating Pacquiao.

Joshua Clottey is a tough guy and he has an almost impenetrable defense. He almost beat Cotto, and in fact, many thought he won that fight. He lost a decision to Margarito. And if we imagine that bloody Margarito-Cotto fight, we can affirm that he’s tough indeed.

Manny Pacquiao, as we all know, is the hottest boxer in the planet today. He demolished high-profile fighters in Barrera, Marquez, Morales, Dela Hoya, Hatton, and recently, Miguel Cotto. Fans actually wanted him to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. It would have been the fight of the decade. But negotiations failed because of a drug issue that many felt, was a non-issue in the first place. Ok, enough of the blame game. The postponement could actually put more hype on the mega-fight should Pacquiao and Mayweather hurdle their assignments, then decide to fight later on.

Fight Result Predictions

My wife once again predicts a Pacquiao loss. But since I am the blogger here, I say otherwise. I stated in the intro that let us not predict and easy win for Manny. No, not in one or two rounds because Clottey is tough and will most probably take the counterpunching position. Pacquiao’s power and quickness are going to be the key to victory. Manny will eventually wear down Clottey in 6 rounds, and puts the exclamation point before the bell rings. Pacquiao will KO Clottey in 6.

Results Update
