Pacquiao Scored A Unanimous Decision Win Over Joshua Clottey

Filipino boxing phenom Manny Pacquiao the undisputed pound-for-pound king scored a lopsided unanimous win over his defensive-minded opponent, Joshua Clottey of Ghana to preserve his WBO belt at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium.
After the fight, Pacquiao showed his intense desire to fight as he said, “Floyd Mayweather, if he wins over Shane Mosley,” and added. “I want the fight, because the people want to see the fight, but it’s up (Floyd Mayweather) if he wants to fight me.”
Pacquiao threw punches relentlessly as the Ghanian was reduced to a punching bag and a defensive sentinel, as his gloves seemed glued at his face, to prevent the onslaught of attacks launched by the faster, smarter and clearly the better fighter, that is, Manny Pacquiao.
The Filipinos fans were so disappointed at the Ghanian pride, as they favor a fight that is more of non-stop slam bang type of match rather than boring and dull defensive stance showed by Clottey.
Pacquiao unleashed a flurry of punches that outnumbers that of Clottey’s. Pacquiao outpunched his opponent by an overwhelming 3-1, to shellacked Clottey, which exhibits some of his noted dirty tactics in the match.
Around 50,994 showed up to witness the much-anticipated match at the vaunted Dallas Cowboys Stadium which boasts of sophisticated technology as the match will go down as the third largest crowd that showed up in the annals of US boxing history.
Pacquiao whipped out crisp combinations to the body and head, but the pesky and unyielding Clottey seemed to be resilient and an unwilling customer of becoming the latest knocked out victims of the vaunted boxer in Manny Pacquiao.
Clottey used his gloves to the hilt to withstand Pacquiao’s series of combinations that already brought down great names in boxing, such as Oscar Dela Hoya, Eric Morales, Juan Antonio Barrera, Manuel Marquez and many more.
Pacquiao even copies the moves of his tough opponent just to lure him to attack, but Clottey seemed focused in defending and at one point int he match, Pacquiao even threw a very funny Rabbit Punch (Punch from both hands at the same time, hehehe).
In the seventh round, Clottey’s corner encourages him to mix it up with the versatile Filipino fighter, but Clottey doesn’t takes chances and seemed keen on finishing the fight not pulled down by a knock out.
Clottey showed some brilliance in the ninth and tenth round, as he unleashed more punches hitting the Filipino ring icon with vicious right and hands and left uppercuts. Pacquiao countered quickly as he parried any momentum built by Clottey as he unleashed his own versions of powerful combinations
Pacquiao now totes a 51-3-2 record, with 38 knock outs and like a true blue champion even said, “He is tough. He is strong and he can punch.”
The durable Clottey showed great respect to Pacquiao as he said, “The best fighter I ever fought… It is really fast. This is the first time where I believe I lost a fight.” Clottey is now 35-4 with 20 knock outs.
