General Observations:
Pacman is almost always on the offensive, getting in throwing combinations, then stepping out. His combined power and quickness was a little too much for Clottey to mount an offensive of his own.
Clottey is almost always on the defensive, his long arms firmly guarding his face and uppper torso, forcing Pacman to throw combinations to the side and lower torso. But he has scored more uppercuts than Pacman, and the power and effect of those uppercuts are apparent on the closing rounds of the match.
Great respect for each other is clearly visible. This is one of the more "feel-good" fights for Pacquiao. One of those rare moments when sportsmanship is observed by both fighters in the ring.
Official Result:
Manny Pacman Pacquiao retains WBO Welterweight
