Manny Pacquiao has once again proved his status as the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world as he beat Joshua Clottey on a dominant unanimous decision on the “Pacquiao vs. Clottey: The Event” match Saturday night in Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas.
Pacquiao keep hold of his WBO welterweight championship in a fight that was rather dull most of the time because Pacquiao keep dominating the fight and Clottey is so passive in most of the rounds. It seems like there is only one boxer on the ring. Clottey focused so much on covering up and defending himself which causes lack of exchange on the entire fight.
In quick summary, it was a one-sided fight with Pacquiao dominating from start to finish.
The judges scored it 120-108, 119-109 and 119-109 for Pacquiao’s unanimous win.
“It was not an easy fight,” Pacquiao said afterward in the interview. “It was hard. He’s a very tough fighter. I can’t believe it.”
Pacquiao might not have felt it was easy, but it sure looked easy. The question now is whether Pacquiao, who improved his record to 51-3-2, will finally get together with Floyd Mayweather Jr. and give boxing fans around the world the fight they want to see. Clottey, who fell to 35-4, simply isn’t a good enough opponent to for the Pinoy champ who continues to show the world what kind of boxer he is.
