Why I think Clottey "SHOULD" be able to beat Pacquiao!

Hold up Dawg...


Pav-Hop is a terrible way to analyze this fight. Pav's skills are rudamentary at best, and Hop had not only the handspeed, but also the size and apparent strength advantage. Also, Pav has been buzzed on several occassions, even dropped and in trouble, so the advantage of chin is not there. Also, BHop is a defensive master. He had the advantage of defense.


In fact, the only parallels in this fight is footspeed and hand movement. You owe the youngster an apology... But wait until after Clottey stretches Pac before you pay up.

 

I wasn't comparing the fights or even the opponents. I was just making a case for lateral movement and angles in boxing.

 

An apology First of all, I started my first post with "I'm sorry "

Dude, the kid said Clottey can walk straight forward behind his high guard and IF Pacman wants to him him, he HAS TO stand in front of him. :deal :huhatsch

He said Lateral movement and angles WILL NOT MATTER in this fight????

No more apology for him, I am sorry to you though :yep

 

I know how ridiculous it sounded.... Clottey is going to have to rely on a relentless jab, timing, a stiff right hand, and just plain old digging deep and taking some shots to find his opening. if his defense can hold up and his chin can take the shots that do sneak through, he will be just fine...


And I will be at the club early.

 

Looks like you actually know how to pay attention to the sport. FULL ATTENTION and not just act a cheerleader. GOOD post:deal I can agree or disagree but I wont. Dont need to. You broke it down properly and the only thing left is to see how it all unfolds.

 

I'm pumped for this fight, I hope clottey shocks the world

 

The high guard works fine if the person is standing right infront of you punching straight. What if Pacman steps to his right, ducking under a hook or a jab? Then Pac is on the side of Clottey momentarily punching him, then he circles away. Angles and lateral movement is the textbook counter style to the high guard Clottey uses, and also that Winky wright uses. Winky was able to dominate Tito because Tito stood directly in front of him the entire fight and got jabbed to death and never moved and never punched and gave looks from angles. It was obvious and clearly agreed what the problem was after that fight....lack of lateral movement and lack of angles from Tito.

 

Clottey can win but he can't afford to be inactive during rounds or break his hand.

 

Ok, nevermind

 

Shhh!

Don't tell 'em nothing. Let these ****ing idiots continue to believe that Clottey is some slow, plodding, 12-punch-per-round-throwing, unskilled, bum.
