Manny ‚ÄúPacman‚Äù Pacquiao had successfully defended his WBO welterweight belt against Clottey in the fully-packed Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas last March 13, 2010.

Pacquiao won in a unanimous decision. The judges scored it with 120-108, 119-109 and 119-109 all for Pacquiao’s unanimous win.

Although, Clottey lost the fight, he still got something to be proud of. He became one of the very few boxers who survived Pacquiao’s furious fist. Armed with his solid shell defense Clottey finished the fight still standing in which very boxers who came across Pacquiao can claim.

In quick summary, it was a one-sided fight with Pacquiao dominating the match from start to finish. Pacman is throwing the punches while Clottey is constantly defending.

Pineda vows to do his best to stay true to the correct rendition of the Philippine anthem to avoid receiving a reprimand letter from the National Historical Institute (NHI). he National Historical Institute have called the attention of Charice, Christian Bautista, and Jennifer Bautista, who also sang “Lupang Hinirang” in incorrect renditions of the national anthem in the previous Pacquiao fights.

On the interview the Pinoy international rock star said, “Ang sa akin ay kakantahin ko ito sa paraan na alam kong magugustuhan ng mga Filipino, bata man o matanda.”

“Ito ang pambansang awit natin I have to make sure na maganda ang pagkaka-awit natin,” he added.

The proper way of singing ‚ÄúLupang Hinirang‚Äù became a big issue following the “incorrect” rendition of the national anthem by Martin Nievera during the May 2, 2009 fight of Manny Pacquiao and Ricky Hatton in Las Vegas.


According to Section 37 of Republic Act (RA) 8491, the rendition of the national anthem, whether played or sung, shall be in accordance with the musical arrangement and composition of Julian Felipe.

Section 20 of the law also states: “The rendition of the flag ceremony in official or civic gatherings shall be simple and dignified and shall include the playing or singing of the anthem in its original Filipino lyrics and march tempo.”
RA 8491 prescribes that any person who will violate its provisions may be punished by a fine of at least P20,000 or imprisonment of not more than one year.

Let’s just hope and pray that Arnel will hit the “correct” notes and Pacquiao hit Clottey down. The Pacquiao vs. Clottey can viewed via PPV or you watch Pacquiao vs. Clottey online on this site.

Boxing critics and aficionado says that this fight will be a battle of furious offense versus the clam shell defense. In the boxing world, Manny Pacquiao is known for his speed and skills in offense whereas Joshua Clottey is known as one of the best defensive fighter. The Pacquiao vs. Clottey fight is predicted to be a showcase of best offense and best defense moves in boxing history.

The team Clottey said that the Ghanaian boxer had perfected his clamshell defense to close down Pacquiao. Clottey is going to end up shutting Pacquiao down completely the same way that Winky Wright shut down Felix Trinidad years ago, sending him into retirement. Clottey (35-3) is known for blocking punches. In his entire career the 32-year-old Ghana native also has never been knocked out ‚Äî he’s been knocked down only once.

But Pacquiao‚Äôs long time coach Freddie Roach says, “Blocking punches doesn’t win fights. I think we can stop him in the late rounds. The accumulation of punches he’ll be taking in this fight he’s never seen before. … I don’t think he’ll be able to handle it.”

Clottey is bigger and taller than Pacquiao but like in Pacquiao’s previous fights opposite bigger opponents such as Oscar De La Hoyo, Ricky Hatton, and Cotto Roach said speed and skill will again proved to be the big difference.

Both boxers vows to give their best punches to offer the fans the most interesting fights they have seen. The Event can be watch in PPV or you can watch Pacquiao vs. Clottey online.

The 7-division champ charters a private 170-seater plane to take his whole entourage to Dallas, Texas where his fight against the Ghanaian boxer Joshua Clottey will take place. Manny Pacquiao took a flight from his training base in Los Angeles, California last Monday on “Air Pacquiao.”

The plane, which has a big photograph of Pacquiao on its door, carried the logo: “Air Pacquiao”. Even some of the items inside the plane had the logo.

The boxer even sat in the cockpit, playing “pilot” complete with uniform.

When asked why he decided to charter a plane, Pacquiao said: “Gusto ko, sama-sama lahat.” He even brought along his dog, Pacman.

Some of the local media covering the event could not help but be impressed with Pacquiao’s “new mode of transportation”.

Traditionally, Pacquiao takes a convoy from Los Angeles to the site where the fight takes place. However, Dallas is 1251 miles (2014 kilometers) away from Los Angeles.

The pound-for-pound king was mobbed by the press shortly after his arrival at the Dallas Forth Worth Texas Airport at around 10 p.m. on Monday.

After a short meeting with the press, Pacquiao boarded a special utility vehicle on his way to the Gaylord Luxury Hotel where he was met by Top Rank promoter Bob Arum.

The Pacquiao vs. Clottey fight will will take place at Cowboys Stadium on Dallas, Texas on March 13, 2010 (March 14 on Philippine Time). You can also watch Pacquiao vs. Clottey online on this site.

Both boxers are now on gearing up towards their top form for the said event. As the big event is getting closer to its date, bookmakers are now getting busy booking up bets.

The betting odds seems to highlight Pacquiao’s apparent invincibility going into the World Boxing Organization welterweight title fight on Saturday (Sunday morning in Manila) at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

According to bookmakers, Pacquiao is now at minus-800 and Clottey at plus-550. This means that if you bet $800 on a Pacquiao victory will earn just $100 while if you $100 bet on a Clottey victory you win only $550.

An attractive proposition is in the “will go” the distance (minus-180) and “won’t go” the distance (plus-140) betting. This betting proposition means that if the bout lasts less than 9½ rounds, a $100 “won’t go” bet will earn $140. A “will go” bet of $180 will net just $100.

All systems go for the team Pacquiao. “Okay na, ready na,” said Pacquiao, who continues to evade questions regarding the outcome of the pay-per-view tussle. “Good luck to both of us.”

Team Pacquiao will take the three-hour flight to Dallas on a chartered plane along with an entourage of some 150 people.

Meanwhile, Clottey’s team flew to Dallas on a commercial flight Sunday.

The pound-for-pound king graces the Jimmy Kimmel Live with his presence once again last Wednesday, March 3 to promote the upcoming Pacquiao vs. Clottey fight on March 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Manny Pacquiao was first appear on the American late-night show “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last November to promote the Pacquiao vs. Cotto fight which he emerged victorious.

Wearing a trendy red leather jacket with Philippine flag embroidered, Pacquiao talks with the show’s host Kimmel about various topics like his upcoming fight with Joshua Clottey, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and his political plans in the Philippines.
Even before Kimmel was able to start asking questions, the Pinoy-dominated audience started chanting “Manny, Manny, Manny…”

“Fans are very confident that I’ll win the fight [against Clottey],” said the Filipino champ. “But for me, nobody knows.”

“He’s a former champion so I don’t underestimate [Clottey],” he added.

When he was asked about Mayweather and the drug testing issues, the Pinoy champ replied, “I agreed to a blood test but not close to the fight. That would be [in] his advantage because he’s bigger than me.”

The Manny Pacquiao said Mayweather could be using the demand as an excuse not to fight him.

“I think he’s not ready for the fight. The job of the fighter is to train hard and fight in the ring. You do not need to change the rules because there’s the Nevada Athletic Commission to implement the rules,” he added.

Later after the interview, Pacman sang George Benson’s song “Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love for You” while the Filipino crowd swayed their hands with the tune.

After his rendition, the crowd went chanting again, “Manny, Manny, Manny…”

The undefeated boxer brought up Mosley’s doping history during the press conference for the Mayweather vs. Mosley held at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square, New York City.

Mayweather quoted in Associated Press, ‚ÄúI can’t say how many fights Shane has won in the past because we know Shane was using enhancement drugs. That’s something we do know.‚Äù

‚ÄúIt’s no different than Pacquiao. I offered Pacquiao the fight. I said, ‚ÄòWe’ll give you $25 million.‚Äô I never met a man who wouldn’t take a $25 million drug test,‚Äù continued Mayweather.

Mosley admitted to taking steroids ‚Äúunknowingly‚Äù in 2003 after being forced by a former strength and conditioning coach to do so as part of his training. Although Mosley did not react to Mayweather’s statement, the boxers still had a minor scuffle during the press conference which prompted their team members to intervene.

On previous interviews, Mosley said that he doesn’t care what Mayweather talks. All he cares is the money he could win from the match and the chance to fight against Manny Pacquiao.

Mayweather was supposed to fight Pacquiao on March 13 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada but negotiations did not push through because of the drug testing issue. The Pinoy boxer opted to fight Joshua Clottey instead. The Pacquiao vs. Clottey is scheduled on March 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

On the other hand, Mayweather takes on Mosley who supposed to fight against the Haitian boxer Andre Berto last January but it did not push through because Berto’s family was affected by the devastating earthquake occurred in Haiti.

‚ÄúI saw Manny, sometimes when he’s shadow boxing, he shows me how Mayweather fights and how he’s going to take case of the problem,‚Äù Roach told FightHype.com.

The trainer said this somehow shows that Pacquiao is preparing himself mentally against Mayweather.
‚ÄúI’ve never seen Manny do that before,‚Äù he said. ‚ÄúManny really wants to fight him in the future because of the remarks he (Mayweather) made.‚Äù

It is a clear indication that Manny Pacquiao still wants to take Mayweather down. Mayweather’s demand made it look as if the Filipino boxer has been taking performance enhancing drugs still somehow angered Pacquiao.

‚ÄúWe’re not happy with his (Mayweather) remarks,‚Äù said Roach.

Meanwhile, Roach predicted that the Pacquiao vs. Clottey fight would not reach into 12 rounds. ‚ÄúThe beginning of the fight is going to be hard. He’s (Clottey) a very good opponent and likes to fight, but we will break him down, and I’m very confident the fight won’t go 12 rounds,‚Äù said Hall of Famer coach Freddie Roach.

Manny Pacquiao, the only boxer to win 7 world titles in 7 different weight divisions, will defend his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight crown against the Ghanian boxer Joshua Clottey at the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas on March 13.

‚ÄúIf Mayweather doesn’t come around after the fight and he doesn’t sign to fight us, then this (Clottey fight) could be our last one,‚Äù that is the statement of the multi-awarded trainer on the interview with EastSideBoxing‚Äôs On the Ropes.
Because of his playing “hard to get,” Mayweather Jr. might lost his chance to fight with the 7-division world champ and the pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao.

Before signing up to fight Clottey, Manny Pacquiao’s and his camp had negotiations with the Mayweather camp for a super fight. However, the negotiation did not result to a positive end when Mayweather Jr. demanded an Olympic style drug testing.

Pacquiao ended up setting a fight with Clottey to defend his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title, while Mayweather opted to fight “Sugar” Shane Mosley.

“If negotiations with Mayweather fail and Manny wins against Cotto, he’ll be having seven world titles. Nobody has done that before, so there’s nothing else to prove,” the trainer told sports analyst Dennis Principe.


After the Pacquiao vs. Clottey fight, Pacman will be busy pursuing his political career. He is running for congressman in Sarangani province in the upcoming May 2010 election. The campaign for local posts starts on March 26.

It is widely believed that Mayweather came out of retirement to fight Pacquiao for what many has said would be the richest boxing match in history.

Boxing fans and aficionado, is really hoping for the big fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather to happen. I hope Pacquiao would give one more shot on the ring with Mayweather.
