'Pacquiao will end up in hospital'
DALLAS – He must have had a drink too many for him to say some nasty things about Manny Pacquiao.
“Manny’s going straight to the hospital after the fight,” Kwaku Gyamfi, a member of Team Clottey, told Pinoy scribes, who chanced upon him at the cozy Silver Bar of the Gaylord Texan Hotel Tuesday evening.
It was just a little past 8 p.m., and Gyamfi, the chief cook of Clottey, sounded like he was in there the whole day. He was seated at the bar, facing a couple glasses of what looked like vodka mix, and enjoying them.
He sounded too excited talking about the coming fight, talking about a Clottey win.
“Manny will be all cut up and bruised. It’s gonna be messy,” said Kwaku, motioning with his hands that Pacquiao will be cut all over his eyes, his nose and his mouth.
“He’s going to be hit by a brick.”
Pacquiao, almost an 8-1 favorite to beat Clottey at the Cowboys Stadium on Saturday, has lined up a few of his favorite songs for his after-fight party-concert at the Gold Club of the Texas Rangers ballpark.
It’s been a tradition for Pacquiao to host a gig for his fans after each fight.
Too bad, Kwaku said, the 31-year-old pound-for-pound champion from the Philippines won’t be able to join his fans.
“He won’t be able to perform after the fight. For the first time he won’t be able to perform,” said Kwaku.
Just outside the bar, Clottey’s chief trainer, Lenny de Jesus, stood, and spoke to the Manila reporters. He gave his thoughts on the fight.
“It’s going to be tough. It’s going to be interesting,” he said.
“And this is a dangerous fight for Manny. You can tell it because Freddie is not talking too much. If he knew this is going to be an easy fight, he would be talking a lot more. But he’s being careful with what he’s saying.”
The 64-year-old De Jesus, who worked as Pacquiao’s cutman in five fights with Emmanuel Lucero in 2003 to Erik Morales in 2005, has their gameplan ready, and that’s to “hit him (Pacquiao) right, knock him out and win the fight.”
He said Clottey logged in 90 rounds of sparring for this fight, much, much less than Pacquiao’s 142 total.
“It’s because Joshua sent all of them out of the ring after four rounds,” said De Jesus. – Abac Cordero

I agree with you philips & jakejalosjos. I am a full blooded Filipino but i would say that minniemo's thread is purely garbage. It doesn't make sense at all. He doesn't represent all Filipino's. He represented only himself with his idiotic comments. He expresses himself very clearly on this thread and from this point on, we can asses his level of understanding on every given issues. It's a shame he spoke Tagalog, at least We can deny him if he uses English on his thread LOL! A certain individual can not be judge by its color and nationality. Clottey is a well mannered and soft spoken guy compared to JMM & Gayweather.
@ minniemo
stop reposting and flooding this thread. we get what your saying. you're pitiful son. you tell someone to grow up and call someone uneducated but you're talking like some punk kid. you call someone a low life scumbag but you're out trolling the Internet reposting the same comment a hundred times.
i'm just laughing at you right now. if this is you trash talking, ah man, that was weak. clottey says he'll crush and beat manny and you think that's trash talk? that's called confident talk. what clottey's cook said, now that's just plain ol trash talk. seriously kiddo. what the hell do you know?
by the way, i'm african american who's married to a nice beautiful filipina. you talk big kiddo. i dare you to say nigger in front of people like me and see what happens. normally, i'd be really pissed off with your racist comment but based on what you've been saying below, i see that you're just an ignorant kid who doesn't know any better.
@ jakejalosjos, no buddy i don't believe filipinos are racist. i'm married to one and i have a lot of filipino friends, i know filipinos aren't racist but everywhere there are always those few idiots like this kid minniemo who talks out of their butt.
anyways, saturday's fight is going to be an explosive fight. can't wait. there's not a whole lot of drama leading up to this fight except for freddie roach doing his usual trash talk on behalf of manny since manny doesn't talk much. it's good to hear someone from clottey's camp is trash talking as well since clottey doesn't trash talk either.
i got pacquiao winning in 12 rounds on this fight just like the cotto fight. clottey's a tough and rough brother but i don't think he's got enough to beat manny.
Don't cry minniemo...
Nice comeback. Yeah! just what I thought... You just confirmed what you really are. You're so stupid. You're calling me racist and hypocrite when you're exactly just that. Racist people call black people "NIGGERS". Hypocrites make degrading statement about someone and their country yet, their from the same country (you obviously understand tagalog).
You're eating your own words...
So what if Clottey said he's going to crush Pacquiao? That's what a lot of athletes do they talk. Oh please, Clottey's statement is not even trash talk. You want to know what trash talk really is, listen to Muhammad Ali.
Don't kid yourself minniemo, your as racist as the next guy. Just listen to yourself.
What happened? Did I hurt your feelings? Oh don't cry little boy. You are too easy man. Hell, I don't even need to cuss to get under your skin.
What a pathetic weasel...
