    This fight is slowly becoming a farce.

    This is Pac's style. He loves beating up on dudes with busted corners. Not his fault, but it always seems to turn out that way.

    Hatton - Stupid second that gave sorry instruction. Your TRAINER said JAB!
    Cotto - No corner what so ever "We are with you!" Can I get some strategy?
    DLH - Nacho not Mayweather Sr. DLH was too greedy to pay his trainer more.

    Now they are throwing Clottey under the bus. Good ol' Manny with another "amazing" win.

    Now's the time for Josh to hire Nazim Richardson, who's skills are best working with the Clottey type of natural talent.

    Exactly. I think Clottey is a very good fighter but lets face it, Clottey is just an opponant in this fight. Pac may have issues with movers and counter-punchers but he is certainly more than comfortable with a style like Clottey's. Pac is too fleet footed and offers too many angles for a Clottey. The fact that Clottey may be without his proper trainer for a while just makes it even more salient that Clottey is simply an opponant in every respect in this fight: mentally, stylistically, and in regard to his preparation.

    Clottey has been fighting in the US for some time now and I as far as I know, he is already living in the US. His trainer should have moved with him in the US a long time ago. Does his trainer go to the US everytime Clottey has a fight? It doesn't look like a good set-up.

    It's not that uncommon for established fighters to only work with their head trainer during camp. But, yes, not ideal IMO. Maybe his trainer prefers Ghana.
