Some of my own predictions didn't happen for the fight between WBO welterweight champion and pound-for-pound superstar Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao of the Philippines against former IBF champion Joshua Clottey of Ghana; well one thing did happen, it's Pacquiao winning the fight.
I predicted that Pacquiao will finish off Clottey sometime between the 7th-10th round but the fight had, rather, ended up to the distance and will go to the scorecards. It was a one-sided victory of the Filipino pound-for-pound champion as he had won all 12 rounds. From the opening bell, Pacman outworked Clottey in every round. Pacquiao outpunched Clottey at a 3:1 clip as the Ghanian spent long periods with his guard up and seemed to be more interested in surviving than winning.
Nevertheless, Pacquiao again proved to the world that he is really the king of boxing now. Congratulations!
