Will Pacquiao's Workrate Be Too Much For Clottey? Filipino whirlwind Manny Pacquiao will defend his pound-4-pound status against chiseled top-5 contender Joshua Clottey tomorrow night as a 5-1 favorite. While the odds do seem a bit top heavy our fight picks staff wonders if this fight could be a mismatch because of workrate? Below is an in-depth breakdown into one of the many factors that our boxing picks staff thinks will be vital come Saturday night.
 

Boxing Picks Analysis: Along with being fast, powerful and skillful Manny Pacquiao also throws a lot of punches. Most of Pacquiao’s opponents are bewildered by the avalanche of  leather that comes their way. Joshua Clottey is an expert at blocking punches but his one major flaw is that he does not deliver enough shots. One basic fundamental in boxing is that you can’t usually win unless you throw punches. This is really a recent development for Clottey who earlier in his career was a punching machine with a high workrate. The Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey Odds have Clottey as a +400 boxing betting underdog.

Clottey’s new defensive shell posture offers few opening for opponents but it also does not score points. While Clottey could succeed in frustrating Pacquiao with his defense he is unlikely to impress the judges. If the fight goes to the cards Pacquiao is likely to get the nod unless Clottey is able to plant him on the canvas a few times. The Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey Odds Total is at 9.5 Rounds with the Over at -185 boxing betting odds.
