Roach: Pacquiao to KO Clottey
MANILA, Philippines – Four-time Trainer of the Year Freddie Roach made a bold prediction on the outcome of Manny Pacquiao’s March 13 fight against Ghana’s Joshua Clottey.
“Clottey is very basic, he does the same things, but he is very good at what he does, but Manny is going to knock him out. He has a great chin, a big right hand, but Manny knows how to nullify his strengths,” Roach told The Telegraph’s Gareth Davies.
Clottey is a former International Boxing Federation (IBF) welterweight champion. He will aim to clinch Pacquiao’s World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title.
Roach, meantime, talked about the progress in Pacquiao’s training camp.
“He has sparred twice, he looks really good, he knocked out one sparring partner and we have four other sparring partners in here at the moment.”
The pound-for-pound king and the Ghanaian will face off at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. – With a report from Gareth Davies, The Telegraph

Hindi na KO kasi lagi lang
Hindi na KO kasi lagi lang mag cover.. Parang punching bag.. I think this is a "paid" fight. Clottey who doesn't have a lot of money is willing to "play" the fight...
Roach is wrong
I see this as a unanimous decision in favor for Pacman but not a KO win
Tough Fight
Just like Pacquiao's fight with Miguel Cotto, this will be a tough fight again for Pacquiao, but i know Roach already has a lot of techniques to KO Clottey. Go Pacquiao! More Updates @ http://pacquiao-vs-clottey.cebuspace.com << The Event: Pacquiao-Clottey Fight.
Doubt it...
If Manny's going to win it will be by decision. If he's going to win it by KO, it'll probably the same as the Cotto fight. Late to Round 12.
Nobody has knocked Clottey out. Not even a much bigger heavy punching Margarito could knock him out.
Pacquiao will KO Clottey
Pacquiao will KO Clottey in early round, I know clottey is a defensive fighter but I doubt if he can handle Pacquiao Punch..

Kapag nangyari prediction ni
Kapag nangyari prediction ni Roach siguradong maduduwag na naman ng husto si Mayweather, iisip na naman ng ibang gimik para di matuloy uli laban.
