Pacquiao and Clottey Work Outs

Well Manny Pacquiao arrived this weekend in Dallas on a private plane with an entourage of 130. Joshua Clottey flew commercial with a 3 man entourage.

Had the pleasure of watching Pacquiao work out yesterday and he looked to be in top shape and looked good, always fun to see a top guy working. Didnt really take much from the work out though

Got to see Clottey work out today and I must say i was very impressed in what I sw, and you know what i saw alot of, straight right hands. Take it for what its worth but I just saw him throwing an abundance of straight rights so I would guess tahts part of the southpaw killing gameplan.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out jsut wanted yall to know they both looked great in their workouts but it was obvous manny was kind of just going through the motions while Clottey seemed to be giving it a little more IMO

This fight is close for the early rounds before it turns into a Pac rout as everyone watches in eager anticipation to see whether he can stop Clottey within 12.

disagree, Clottey aint Cotto, Cotto was looking to survive after round 3, clottey wont do that IMO, plus he is bigger and stronger than Cotto
and oh ya, gets to fight at 147

Roach and Manny will be rethinking this one come sunday

Clottey doesn't have the killer instinct necessary to beat Pac as he proved when he let Cotto off the hook in a fight he easily could've won. He doesn't step on the gas pedal when he has to and is perfectly content at fighting at the other guy's pace. I won't bash him for the Margo fight because he had two broken hands. This Saturday will once again just be a showcase for Pac to show he's the best in the world. It would be exciting to actually see him in a little trouble for the first time in a few fights but I doubt it will happen

see I disagree, Clottey fights at a slow pace, yes, but that is the kind of style that has given Pac problems before when he was couterpunched. IDK I am not one of the people that think this wont be competitive fight

I am expecting 2 of the best welters in the world to go at it.

I picked Clottey over Cotto and Pac over Cotto, obviously Pac looked better vs Cotto
But Pac was also more busted up by Cotto

I have to agree with Bird - I think people will be shocked at how competitive Clottey will be.

It was really, really interesting to see both work outs.

I thought I was watching Rocky 3 or something, Manny is all hapy go lucky working the crowd , Clottey just came in and started punching, he isnt coming in to lie down

Only thing Cotto did to Clottey was fuck his leg up. Pacquiao had a damn head bandage on singing Karoake hahaha

and yes Pacs doing a concert after the fight, Pac is still the obvious favorite, but I have to wonder, could Pac have taken 20+ shots from Cotto while stuck in a corner
