Nah. Manny coasts to an easy decision, but doesnt KO him. Clottey is one of the best defensive fighters in the world and has a granite chin. The only thing that holds him back from being elite is that his punches are too slow.

Pretty good call on this one.

Manny wins an easy UD, winning 9 rounds are so.

Good call

But Clottey impresses the shite out of the casual fans when they seem him smile and laugh at Manny throughout the fight everytime Manny lands a power punch

Not so much here. Manny punished this guy. I didnt see any smiling. He covered up most of the fight. Manny almost knocked him down with a shot to the shoulder!

This fight will make Mayweather more afraid of Manny than ever now.

Thanks. I won $100 from a guy in the bar that kept saying Pac would stop him.

I KNEW Clottey would be defensive the entire fight, but this was ridiculous. I thought he would occasionally flurry. Obviously he was satisfied with just making it the distance. Very disappointing! He does have a good chin and has done the smiling thing in almost every one of his previous fights after back and forth exchanges, but youre right, he didnt do it this time. Ill eat crow on that prediction because I thought he'd at least give a little offensive effort and come out of the fight better off popularity-wise despite the loss.
