Even though I only watched certain bits of Kevin Johnson vs Vitali, after watchin Clottey's performance vs Pacquiao tonight I can safely conclude that Clottey fought pretty much the same way as Johnson, survival mode until the last round. Anyone agree?
I would say he tried for the first 3 rounds. Tested it out, after that he was just packing it in. He was okay in the first 3 rounds... I thought the rounds weren't blowouts and he proved some worth. But yeah, that's about what happened. I felt Clottey would fight in survival mode. He made many clues on this with statements and I foretold of this. Some didn't want to listen... others had it even better than I did.
I disagree. Double shell defense for the whole fight is just who Clottey is. Johnson has no history of laying on the ropes and doing some sort of chicken defense. He just bitched out against Vitali.
i agree in that he had the same strategy Johnson had for the Vitali fight which was only to survive and expect people to congratulate him when in reality people would respect him more if he actually TRIED to win and got KO'ed.
Who said the Klit fights are boring? It always depends on the opponents. If just one guy comes to fight and the other guy just focuses on not getting KOd the fight always ends up being a disappointment.
