The Event (Pacquiao vs Clottey)

As the countdown drawing near to "The Event" the pride of the Philippines Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao will defend his WBO welterweight belt against a naturally bigger fighter Joshua "The Hitter" Clottey from Ghana on March 13, 2010 at the Dallas Cowboy Stadium. For the information of some, there is no catch weight on this fight, it is set to the limit of 147 pounds, meaning after weight in Clottey may will fight the Filipino at a whopping 157 pounds. That will be a big factor for the Pacquiao team to consider. Not only bigger, Clottey is a hitter, He can punch and can certainly put up a fight.

What is the determining factor for Manny?

Once again I believe it will the tremendous speed and accuracy of Manny, combined with power, that's a winning card altogether. Not to mention the stamina that Manny has, Clottey will not survive 12 rounds if he will fight with Paquiao's pace. Manny will not go for the body, he will punish Clottey in the head and may will knock him out in the middle rounds. I am sure it will a great fight between these two warriors.

Pacquiao has a record of 50-3, 2 draws and 38 KO's, and Clottey has 35-3 and 21 via KO's.
