MANILA, Philippines – A Filipino sports analyst lamented Ghanaian Joshua Clottey’s turtle-shell defense during his “The Event” bout against 7-division world champion Manny Pacquiao on Saturday (Sunday in Manila) in the massive Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
“Si Joshua Clottey ay dumating hindi para lumaban kundi para kumolekta ng kaniyang bayad sa pakikipagsabayan kay Manny Pacquiao,” Al Mendoza said in an interview with radio DZMM on Monday.
“Ang boksing kasi, dapat magsusuntukan kayo,” the sports analyst stated.
He went on to say that he did not expect the fight to last 12 rounds since he thought the pound-for-pound king would knock out Clottey before Round 6.
“Kaya lang nakalimutan ko ang isang anggulo na kung di siya lalaban, di nga siya mapapatulog ni Pacquiao… ‘Pag lumalaban ka kay Pacquiao, malamang tulog ka.”
He cited Pacquiao’s 4 knockout wins over his most recent opponents prior to Clottey: David Diaz, Oscar de la Hoya, Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto.
Because of Clottey’s lack of punches during the fight, Mendoza said the Ghanaian did not do boxing good.

 Apparently, it would take no less than the International Olympic Committee (IOC) president himself to get Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) officials to sit down with the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) and end their differences.
During a chance meeting over the weekend at the Olympic Council of Asia conference in Kuwait, IOC president Jacques Rogge personally instructed POC president Jose “Peping" Cojuangco, Jr. to mend fences with the government sports agency or face the possibility of suspension as what befell other troubled Olympic bodies like that of Iraq.
“He (Rogge) mentioned that we have a similar problem with Iraq and three other countries which were later suspended. He was supportive of the POC but does not want to see the country being suspended so he advised us to try to mend fences with the government but at the same time protect our autonomy," Cojuangco reported during Tuesday’s PSA Forum.
