Maybe they paid Clotty to "Not Hurt" Manny???

    I don't know. I hate to think that such a big high profile fight might be fixed, but something just didn't seem right.

    Clotty's given the opportunity of a life time & he's out worked 1200 punches to only 400? And Clotty said he was gonna come out bombing away from the very start.

    What happened to that?

    :think

    A couple of casual fans were saying the fight was fixed but they probably never seen Clottey fight.

    Something probably doesn't seem right if you've never seen Joshua Clottey fight before.

    If you have seen him fight before, then you know how he fights. That's what he did.

    Nah, that's just Clottey for you.

    He pulled off the same **** against Cotto and he really could have won that fight.

    Clottey has done this twice before, against Margo and Cotto. Both times he stopped fighting. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that he pulled this stunt against 3 Top Rank fighters.

    Not necessarily. Had Clotty opened up, maybe Manny is the one to get caught & dropped. I mean, at least give it a try! Which he did on occassion & snapped Pac's head back. He couldn't see that he was getting some results?

    GO FOR IT ALREADY!!!:-(

    It looked like Pac was letting him hit him tbh. Clottey landed 3 uppercuts in a row and pac just stood there. There was no hope for clottey.

    Nope, he was just intimidated by the fact that it was Pac he's fighting. Got too cautious in the ring. Probably because Pac Kd's Cotto when Cotto decided to trade. Pac looking like that after the fight is what fighting a true Welter means. Good that he isnt afraid to test his limits.

    I wouldn't be surprised. Arum is shady. Clottey seemed like he didn't want to do anything, even when Pac was right in front of him doing nothing. For this being the opportunity of a lifetime, Clottey's effort was shameful.
