Clottey cheats
The recently concluded welterweight boxing championship match between Pacquaio and Clottey was a drag. I was right, it was insipid. I felt even
worse because I felt I was cheated. I knew it was going to be offense versus defense, I knew it was going to be dull, but I never anticipated it to be a con.
Although Clottey endured 232 power punches and 14 jabs from Pacman, he didn’t fight to win. 50,994 watched it live in dismay and millions on PPV most probably felt bored as they watch Clottey stood there and acted like a punching bag. He was just avoiding to be knocked out, literally.
Every athlete must play to win; this is a sport. And in a match as huge as this, you can not just stand there and don’t give it your best shot.
There are lots of speculations as to why Clottey fought that way, but for me he just doesn’t have the heart of a champion and never again he’ll get the chance to prove he has one.

Ha!Ha!ha! The biggest winner was no other than Bob Arum, a scum who just pulled off one of the biggest scams and we fell for it, hook, line & sinker! It was a one sided match he dared call a championship fight.
Insipid is such a tame adjective for it. Regretfully, i’m at a loss for the right word as to how to describe such a parody of a fight.
I admire Clottey for being so wily. Why sweat it out & risk being clobbered when he could get his prize money just by standing there & avoid being hit. I would have done the same thing. Opportunity knocked, he took it. He was all smiles after the fight, he had done what he was supposed to do.
We were suckered & not too many had realized that until now. That’s the irony of it. LOL!!!
