Pacquiao vs Clottey 2010 Fight Remains Hot – Match Recaps and More. Defending his WBO Welterweight title, Manny Pacquiao beat Joshua Clottey via unanimous decision in a match held at the Dallas Cowboy’s Stadium. The Pac Man is hailed as pound-for-pound best fighter in the league, although Clottey is a highly regarded fighter as well.
Clottey held a tight defense and didn’t let Pacquiao near his face. Showing his fighting skills, the Pac Man focused on Clottey’s body, and threw 1,231 punches –more than ever before. His opponent got in 399 punches.
The twelve round fight went for all twelve rounds, which is different than how most people saw the fight in their head. A knock-out was expected by many.
There are rumors that the Clottey fight is the last the Filipino fighter will commit to for a while. He is rumored to be running for political office in his native Philippines, where he is a very highly regarded individual.
Before he heads to retirement, many are hoping that he will commit to a fight against Floyd Mayweather, Jr. Mayweather used to hold the record for pound-for-pound best fighter in the league before he went into retirement. He came out of retirement to fight Pacquiao, but the two sides could never come to an agreement.
The fight was available on pay-per-view, but is going to be shown again this Saturday night on HBO for those that missed the action. Fight fans should be sure to watch this transpire, as it was a great match.
Anyone still harboring doubts about whether Manny Pacquiao is taking his upcoming fight with Joshua Clottey seriously should have attended his open work-out on Tuesday, March 9. In front of a feverish mob of fans and a platoon of press people here at the Gaylord Texan Hotel and Convention Center just outside of Dallas, the welterweight champ showed what he’s all about: training hard and, yeah, having a little fun.
Garbed in a blue Nike T-shirt, red gym shorts and shoes a ruby so bright and shiny one could almost be forgiven for mistaking them for Dorothy’s slippers, Pacquiao glided around the ring as if riding a thermal, firing punches at a non-existent opponent with dizzying speed. At one point as he circled about an arm’s length away from the ropes, his taped-up fists pummeling the air, Pacquiao slid over to his cornerman, Buboy, and suddenly caught the poor guy with a literal gut-check. The crowd laughed, while Buboy–understandably–winced.
No one familiar with Pacquiao’s playful personality was surprised by the move. That also goes for Buboy, who, though caught off-guard, has doubtlessly been on the receiving end of Pacquiao’s practical–if slightly painful–jokes before. Indeed, even during an intense training session, sweat raining from his brow, Pacquiao rarely loses that infectious smile he so often wears.
Later, legendary trainer Freddie Roach entered the ring to work out with his ace pupil. Clad in a torso pad and armed with a pad on either hand, Roach moved about the ring, absorbing blow after blow from Pacquiao, who was obviously holding back–especially with the body shots–lest he risk dropping his beloved mentor.
The two men possess an almost intuitive understanding of one another. Often during their exchange, all Roach had to do was offer a faint gesture or a few quick words, and Pacquiao knew exactly what punching combination or evasive maneuver Roach wanted him to perform. Indeed, wherever Roach went, Pacquiao followed. It was if the two were connected by a rope and pulley.
It’s a psychically charged dynamic–one that has helped propel Pacquiao to the top of the sport of boxing. On March 13, when he faces down Joshua Clottey, the world will find out if Pacquiao can go even higher.
Hundreds of supporters, Ghanaian and Filipino alike, will be clustered in to witness the official weigh-year fight between Joshua Clottey and Manny Pacquiao. Pacquiao and Clottey is expected to weigh in below 147 pounds.
Top Rank.com will provide a full coverage on a live stream broadcast of the Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey weigh-in at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Friday, March 12. The live broadcast will begin 6 pm eastern/3 pm pacific on Top Rank’s new, revamped website. Michael Buffer will be the host.
Todd duBoef, president of Top Rank, made the announcement today.

Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass (“The Bourne Supremacy,” “The Bourne Ultimatum,” “United 93″) re-team for their latest electrifying thriller in “Green Zone,” a film set in the chaotic early days of the Iraqi War when no one could be trusted and every decision could detonate unforeseen consequences.
During the U.S.-led occupation of Baghdad in 2003, Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Damon) and his team of Army inspectors were dispatched to find weapons of mass destruction believed to be stockpiled in the Iraqi desert. Rocketing from one booby-trapped and treacherous site to the next, the men search for deadly chemical agents but stumble instead upon an elaborate cover-up that inverts the purpose of their mission.
Spun by operatives with intersecting agendas, Miller must hunt through covert and faulty intelligence hidden on foreign soil for answers that will either clear a rogue regime or escalate a war in an unstable region. And at this blistering time and in this combustible place, he will find the most elusive weapon of all is the truth.
