MANILA, Philippines -- Lenny de Jesus, Joshua Clottey’s new trainer, claims he didn’t need to watch Manny Pacquiao’s fight tapes in designing their strategy versus the Filipino champion.

De Jesus said in a report by FightHype.com he has already seen everything Pacquiao is capable of doing.

“I already have Manny in my mind, how he fights,” he said in a quote taken from HBO’s documentary Road to Dallas: Pacquiao vs Clottey.

De Jesus, a Puerto Rican who has worked as Pacquiao’s cutman for 6 fights, claims the 7-division champion has been using the same ring tactics in the past 5 years.

“Freddie Roach, maybe, put a little knowledge and stuff like that, a little techniques, but he's the same guy that I saw 5 years ago,” said De Jesus.

Because of this, he said, Team Clottey already has a fight strategy allegedly tailored to defeat the reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champ.

“I got the key to beating Manny Pacquiao, I don't need to watch any tapes,” he told FightHype.com.

Pacquiao and Clottey will collide inside the ring on March 13 (March 14 in Manila) at the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

Fight odds put Pacman at -800
The fight odds flying out of Las Vegas placed Pacquiao at minus 800, and Clottey, the pride of Ghana, at plus 550.

It means that Pacquiao fans need to bet $800 just to win a hundred bucks. If you’re for Clottey, you put $100 and if he wins, you get $550 in return.

The odds for a Pacquiao fight have never been as lopsided as this one, not when he fought Jorge Solis or Marco Antonio Barrera the second time, Ricky Hatton or Miguel Cotto.

The last time Pacquiao came in as an underdog was against Oscar dela Hoya. He won that fight, and the way things are, he’d probably remain favorite until the day he retires.

Dr. Allan Recto, now a certified ring physician and one of Pacquiao’s close friends, called in from Vegas Sunday evening to say how the odds have skyrocketed in favor of Pacquiao.

Trainer Freddie Roach said the fight should be over inside nine rounds, but he’d be “happier” if it ends in the first. The odds on the fight not lasting the distance is plus 140; going the distance at minus 180.

Pacquiao winning by decision is at plus 130, and him pulling off a stoppage is at minus-150. If Clottey wins on points, every $100 bet pays $600, and if via a knockout, your $100 gives you $400. With a report from the Philippine Star
