TheMason Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 This was one of the lamest fights I've ever seen. Clottey didn't really fight and looked pathetic. Too bad they can't take his cut of the purse from him to punish him for his failure to perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lee Posted March 14, 2010 Author Posted March 14, 2010 I have to agree, we finally got to see the rerun of the fight and all Clottey did was cover up. My guess is he was paid off to lose that fight because he sure did not fight like someone who is said to be a great fighter, he looked like an amateur. Clottey's record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldutot Posted March 14, 2010 Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) The way I saw the fight. Clottey had a good fight plan to box Manny.But the dumb ass did not execute a offensive. Manny just side step him. And pick him apart. Edited March 14, 2010 by oldutot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
