Comments Thread For: Roach: "Pacquiao Will Knock Joshua Clottey Out"

so they can drain him and by mid fight cotto be out of steam and have no pop on his punches..

watch the fight

On the real though. Manny looked like Superman in that fight
with Miguel Cotto. Never in my wildest dreams did I think Cotto
would be scrapped out by Manny like that. Always had my doubts
about Manny and Cotto so was up in the air about it and thought
Cotto power would prevail. The Manny that showed up that night
probably would have still beat Cotto at 147. Perhaps the weight
of 145 played a part, who knows? It's all in the past now.

Hopefully Clottey won't drop the ball on this one. (For his sake).
The thing that is looking bad for Clottey is that he still is having
problems with training and March is next month.

Unfortunately their fighting Clottey because he's a ball dropper. They know Clottey fades in the later rounds so the Roidster just has to BS through the early rounds then it should be a relative cakewalk. Either Clottey just doesnt have it or he's on the payroll cause he was kickin Cheato's ass for 5 rounds then he just stopped fighting.

I never said that it affected him. His next bout is at 154 and that says alot. So if weight didn't matter why make it at 145? No matter what weight if Cotto didn't get him out of there early he was gonna get out sped. Pac is in the driver seat and cause the money ppl will make fighting him they will cave in into his demands.

Cotto has a lot of heart but not much in the brain department. The trick was to get the psychological edge by making Cotto think about making weight and then zap him of energy that he would need in the later rounds and it worked because Cotto let them have it.

After two weeks of training camp, trainer Freddie Roach is confident WBO welterweight Manny Pacquiao will knock Joshua Clottey out on March 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Texas. Roach has been looking at tapes on Clottey and he doesn't think the fighter from Ghana is really that good. He overestimated his worth the first time around and thought Pacquiao would win a decision. Now he thinks Clottey will get stopped in the last rounds. [Click Here To Read More]

im agree with roach....i think it will be a tko tho. clottey is not gonna know what to do when there are punches coming from different angles. plus he gases in the championship rounds. should be a easy fight for pac.

[Sugar Q]

doesnt roach say this about every overmatched opponent they face? why is this even a story? like the whole world doesnt know this a **** fight/ sparring session. even in the own mans words:"hes not that good,i gave him too much credit after seeing tapes hes not a very good fighter were knocking him out" so freddie if he isnt that good ,and we all know that; why are you guys even fighting him???nothing is being accomplished in this fight but bringin a lamb to the slaughter and lining bob arums pockets.

But on the flip side do you hear the way he talks about Mayweather? He's very, very smart, we need time to prepare for his style, then when the fight was officially off he all of a sudden got a revelation on how to beat him. BS!!!!!!!!!

Very true on that

Team Pac is soooo full of ****. They try to make Pacroid appear like this humble, I'm just like you, I just wanna do my job, He's bigger than me BS!!!!
Then they point to Floyd's mouth and flamboyance when the real deal is Manny is far from humble. 90/10 vs Clottey, making Cotto defend his title at a catch weight, planning a concert performance after the Cotto fight, etc. So now everyone hates on Floyd but JMM got his biggest payday against Floyd (not no bs 1 mill but 4) and so will Shane which is in the neighborhood of 15 million so who's the real phucked up, egotistical MF?
