Unless I'm imagining things, Pacquiao's eyes have been swelling much more easily in his last two fights than they were in his wars at 130. I'm not talking about the cuts I'm talking about the swelling. Is this a matter of accumulation of punches throughout a career finally showing its effects or more the power of the punches that are clipping him?
yeah pac is a natural LWW and the clottey is a natural middleweight. Punches are harder, its hard to tell of the bruising on clottey, hes very dark skinned. But pac has always been cut pretty easy or bruised even, some people are just that way. Probably a little of both getting older and taking flush shots from heavier guys.
i noticed in the fight that when clottey throws his right hand, it has great force behind it and it would normally push pacquiao's head into a snap or force him to take steps back. Clottey has serious power, he's just very conservatice at throwing punches
