Manny Pacquiao beat Joshua Clottey via unanimous decision in a match held at the Dallas Cowboy’s Stadium. The Pac Man is hailed as pound-for-pound best fighter in the league, although Clottey is a highly regarded fighter as well. But many boxing fans said that this is only ah warm up game for the ultimate fight of the century.
Clottey held a tight defense and didn’t let Pacquiao near his face. Showing his fighting skills, the Pac Man focused on Clottey’s body, and threw 1,231 punches –more than ever before. His opponent got in 399 punches.
The twelve round fight went for all twelve rounds, which is different than how most people saw the fight in their head. A knock-out was expected by many.
There are rumors that the Clottey fight is the last the Filipino fighter will commit to for a while. He is rumored to be running for political office in his native Philippines, where he is a very highly regarded individual.
Before he heads to retirement, many are hoping that he will commit to a fight against Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Mayweather used to hold the record for pound-for-pound best fighter in the league before he went into retirement. He came out of retirement to fight Pacquiao, but the two sides could never come to an agreement.
The fight was available on pay-per-view, but is going to be shown again this Saturday night on HBO for those that missed the action. Fight fans should be sure to watch this transpire, as it was a great match.
Many boxing fans are expecting that the next opponent of Manny Pacquiao will be decided after the fight between Mayweather vs Mosley fight which is on May 1,2010. So who will be your bet. Mayweather or Mosley? All we can do is w8 for the result and watch a good boxing fight before the end of the year.
