Lights Out On Fast Eddie


Another win is racked up by Dr. Wladimir as he knocks the wind out of Eddie Chambers in the 12th round to leave him hanging on the rope for a good minute. Eddie basically fell like a sack of potatoes and was twitching, as he received a powerful left hook from Wladimir. Although not the impressive win everyone was hoping for, Wladimir still has cemented himself as an untouchable in the Heavyweight scene

Klitschko Vs. Chambers Prediction


Step up Eddie Chambers, the latest man to try his luck and stop one of the dominating forces in Boxing history, the Klitscho brothers. Eddie takes on Wladimir in Germany and will try to pull off a shock victory but is he biting off more than he can chew?

Eddie is know for his speed in the heavyweight division and together with his boxing skills, has seen some impressive wins being racked up by the little man against bigger opponents. Against Klitschko however, Eddie will be facing a fighter whom is bigger, taller and has a longer reach than he does. Klitschko, since employing Emanuel Steward has looked like an unstoppable machine and will be more than ready come fight night.

Chambers will have his moments as he tries his best to outbox Klitschko and might even drop the big man once during the early rounds, but Wladimir will come back stronger and force a stoppage in the latter rounds. Wladimir TKO

What Now For Magnificent Manny?


Pacquiao crossed out yet another big welterweight from his list of opponents as he cruised to a lopsided unanimous decision victory over Joshua "Peak-a-boo Master" Clottey. Credit to Pacquiao for giving non-stop action for 12 rounds but the fight was however pretty dull

So what now for Pacquiao? well his time from boxing will be put on hold up till November as he runs for congress in the Philippines. It will be the longest time Pacquiao has taken a break from boxing, leaving us having to watch re-runs of his previous fights.

When he does return however, who should/would he face?

Floyd Mayweather

Theres no need to profile this fight as we know all about it. everyone in the world, boxing fans or not wants to see this happen, so please don't keep us waiting again.

Sugar Shane Mosley

If by some miraculous reason Mayweather lost his fight in May, then Mosley will be the no brainer choice. A much more exciting fight is promised as these two engaging fighters battle it out for supremacy.

Timothy Bradley

It would be an exciting fight wouldn't it? Pacquiao taking on a young American hotshot. This fight would be a much better fight than a bout with either Marquez or Valero. The only problem is can Tim make welterweight by November?

Edwin Valero

This guy does not deserve a shot just yet. Fans would be booing Pacquiao if he did take Valero on for his next fight. Why not put Valero against Devon Alexander first as a gauge?

Antonio Margarito

I wouldn't mind seeing this fight. Margarito's a big welterweight and has a huge mexican following which would make the Dallas stadium as the venue. Should be a better fight than Marquez

Devon Alexander

Again, Pacquiao taking on a young American hotshot in Devon would please the public and quell rumors that Pacquiao cherry-picks his opponents

Clottey dissapoints the world


Another welterweight comes and goes, with his head down in disappointment as he fails to stop the Pac. Joshua Clottey employed the wrong strategy in the fight and it cost him dearly. Never again will he have a chance to fight one of the top fighters or a world title fight. If he would have thrown at least 150 punches more, it would have been somewhat of an exciting fight. In front of a sell out crowd of 51'000 the 3rd biggest in Texas, Clottey used his favored peek-a-boo defense all night long and only managed a measly 33 shots per round.

I only see clottey going downwards from here. HBO will most likely think twice about broadcasting his fights and Bob Arum will have a tough time negotiating prize money against future opponents. He's a noble fighter with criminal tactics, and i guess it's safe to say we wont hear much more of this Ghanian clamshell again.

Manny Pacquiao Vs. Joshua Clottey : Pre Fight Analysis


Agonizing hours of waiting for this fight has come and gone. This Saturday, Ghanaian tank Josh Clottey will get a chance in a lifetime when he faces pound 4 pound king Manny Pacquiao for the WBO welterweight championship. Will Clottey seize his opportunity and cause one of the biggest upset in boxing history? or will his name be crossed out on Manny's already impressive Hit-List? Read on to find out how i think the fight will unfold.










Joshua Clottey 35-3-0 (20 KO)


built from re-enforced steel, Clottey will be the strongest ever opponent Pacquiao has faced. He has never been knocked out and has only been knocked down once ( got back up from it pretty quickly) against Cotto. His defensive skills are classified as "God given" and he is one huge son of a bit*h. He has a mean uppercut and is the natural welterweight, coming in at 160+ lbs on fight night.















Manny Pacquiao 50-3-2 (38 KO)


Known as the man who revitalized boxing, Pacman is the current P4P king and boy does he have an impressive resume. Barrera, De La Hoya, Morales, Marquez, Hatton, Cotto are some of the big names he has destroyed (De La Hoya, Morales & Hatton all retired after losing to Pacquiao). Possessing ridiculously fast had speed and footwork, his punches come at angles previously not possible. His punching power baffles many critics as he has constantly KO-ed bigger and stronger opponents. Couple that with incredible stamina to last 12 full rounds and a very strong chin (proved against Cotto), he is definitely the hardest challenge of Clottey's career.

Prediction

I think Clottey will put up one hell of a fight, giving Pacquiao a stern test in the welter division. his defense will confuse the Pacman and will force him to rethink his strategies. However, Clottey is not know to have punching power (only 20 KO's in 38 fights) and might not hurt Pacquiao as much as people believe. Pacquiao will throw many more punches and land more clean shots even though Clottey has a good defense. He is the title holder and i think by the 10,11 or 12, we will have a stoppage in Manny's favor. Manny Pacquiao, victory by TKO.
