Manny Pacquiao shuts out Joshua Clottey in WBO welter defence -- Telegraph

By Gareth A Davies, Telegraph.co.uk

So Manny Pacquiao is human after all. Or at least he was not able to stop Ghanaian Joshua Clottey in front of 50,994 spectators, who filed into the Dallas Cowboys Stadium to enjoy the spectacle of his defence of the WBO welterweight title.

This was a shutout victory for Pacquiao in front of the third highest number of fans ever to attend a fight in the United States. It was a shutout from first to last. Clottey, tough man than he is, simply did not throw enough punches. You cannot win a fight, if you do not fight.

Pacquiao won 120-108, 119-109 and 119-109 on the judges’ cards.

“It was not an easy fight, but I can’t believe it. I intended to start with a lot of jabs.

The Mayweather clan will have been watching Pacquaio’s latest testament to prize-fighting’s wealthy and complex tapestry. Roll on Mayweather-Mosley. Pacquiao must fight the winner,.
