Instead of using his size and power advantage, Clottey just stood his ground and offer stonewall defence to protect himself from the barrage of punches thrown by the top boxer of the planet today.
Clottey who refused to engage the Filipino boxing superstar to a slugfest only punched a little during the whole duration of the fight to the dismay of the professional boxing fans all over the globe.

Pacman who was brilliant all night long, took advantage of his speed and power as he hit the African boxing star with a volume of punches all throughout the bout.
With the huge boxing attendance, pressure now mounts on the incoming battle between American boxing superstar
Floyd Mayweather Jr., the former top boxer of the planet against former boxing champion Sugar Shane Mosley on May 1 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
