I have seen many Clottey fights, I wasn't surprise at this style but as much as I hate to admit it I feel like it was fixed.
Ya, It was fixed I call the FBI and their going to check on it atsch :rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl
... when Pac was standing in front of him with the high guard. When Pac was moving Clottey couldn't land anything.
if anybody thinks this **** was fixed watch the clottey interviews leading up to the fight, he CLEARLY says he just dosent want to lose like all the others. He wasent there to win he was just there to say he went 12 rounds with manny pacquiao. Plus clotteys style that fight was just a amplified version of his own style.
I wouldn't go as far as to say the fight is fixed, but I wouldn't be surprised if Top Rank let Clottey known that he would be taken care of even if he lost. Let's think about this. Many people have no idea why Margo's IBF belt wasn't on the line vs. Cotto. I do. Before Margo fought Cintron, Arum was on record as saying the winner had to agree to drop the belt so that Clottey could fight for it. He said it wasn't fair for Clottey to have to wait for a title shot. So about a year or so after Clottey loses to Margo, Arum sets it up so that he can get a belt. Clottey loses to Cotto and then a few months later, he get the biggest payday of his career. I wouldn't surprise me to see Clottey fighting for Pac's vacant WBO belt in the near future.
Lampley is an idiot. He sounded like he was forcing himself to be a ******* that night. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT2s9LTUvaA&feature=player_embedded[/ame]
What a lot of total shite. Cottey did what many fighters do against so-called invincible fighters - try and survive. Guys used to do this against Tyson way back. Just accept it - Paq was too good. I have and I'm not even a fan. :hi::happyatschatsch
If they were going to pay someone to "not do much," why would Clottey be the one they pick? Why not someone more high profile?
From fighting shot fighters to weight drained, to cherrypicking, to cheating with PED and now to fixing his fights. Jealousy is a *****! I wonder what could be next. :-(
