00:00Well, what's left, and it could be anticlimactic, after all of that, is the fight.
00:13So I think we'll get a real idea of Joshua Clotty and where he stands in all of this hoopla
00:19in the first four or five minutes of this fight.
00:22Hands up high, excellent defensive fighter who can also punch.
00:28And he has been in there with some heavy-handed guys like Margarito and Cotto,
00:32and they were unable to take him out.
00:35We'll see if Pacquiao can be the first.
00:38Well, I'll be very surprised if he does that,
00:40although there are many who are predicting that he will.
00:42But at one point, not that I'm a big gangster man, but the line was four rounds.
00:48If he'd make it over, and he climbed slowly to six.
00:50Today it ended at 9 1⁄2.
00:53The only thing that he might not have felt to anybody that has the power of Pacquiao,
01:00but it's also the speed and the pace of Pacquiao.
01:03Yes, and the angles and the—just the whole combination.
01:09The combinations, literally.
01:11And they're coming quick, man. He's getting to work right away.
01:15Yeah, he is working the body.
01:17Claudio doing a pretty good job covering up, up top.
01:20Well, you know, the thing is that Claudio is pretty slow, to be honest,
01:24especially compared to Manny.
01:26So if Manny plays counterpunch a little bit tonight,
01:28he'll be able to unleash those quick combinations like he just did earlier.
01:35But I'll tell you, it's like hitting a piece of iron,
01:37because he is really a solid individual, just the time.
01:41Two or four body punches by Pacquiao,
01:43and Claudio misses with a left hand over the top of the head of Pacquiao.
01:47Fighters in recent years have invariably said the same thing
01:50about fighting Pacquiao after they fought him.
01:53I couldn't see the punches coming.
01:55I didn't know where the punches were coming from.
01:57It was like fighting two men.
01:59It speaks to the angles that Mario's talking about.
02:02Because it's not so much the hand speed, which is amazing and blazing,
02:07it's the foot speed.
02:09He's able to switch angles on you so quick,
02:11he moves laterally so, so well.
02:14And you're seeing that almost impenetrable defense of Claudio.
02:19It's not really a peekaboo defense,
02:21because the old peekaboo defense of Floyd Patterson
02:23was the hands at the chin, but also up higher.
02:25That was a good right hand by Pacquiao, not Claudio, sideways.
02:32And he comes up the middle.
02:36Pacquiao not wasting any time on his game plan.
02:39Goes from zero to 60, and two seconds left.
02:43Some vicious body work here in this first round by Pacquiao.
02:47And Pacquiao finding the openings in a very tight shell-like defense.
02:52Slipped the right hand through the defense that time of Claudio.
02:56Claudio's toughness will really be tested tonight.
03:06Oh, he's tough.
03:07He's very durable, and he's got all the physical advantages except speed.
03:16Has not been able to generate much offense here in the first round,
03:19but as you pointed out, he said he was just going to kind of feel what Pacquiao had.
03:24Yeah, I don't think it was in his mind to come out offensive.
03:28No, and it wouldn't have been a wise move on his plate.
03:33Pacquiao will have to stand in his corner.
03:36Now he sits down.
03:38Freddie Roach in his corner.
03:39We've talked about him.
03:40Best in the business right now.
03:42Okay.
03:43That's the lead.
03:50Nice body to work.
03:51Just keep working that body for me, okay, son?
03:53All right?
03:54You're working behind that fiend.
03:55Yes.
03:56Now, when you fiend, be ready for this jab.
03:59Straight right hand.
04:00Give me another round.
04:01He needs your time to shot over the top, okay?
04:02When you fiend him, expect something, okay?
04:04He's going to throw it.
04:09Let's go, coach.
04:10All of the effective punching in the first round came from Manny Pacquiao,
04:17the world champion there with that beautiful overhand right.
04:20And Claudie felt that one.
04:21So if he wanted to feel something from Pacquiao, he did with that shot.
04:24That was it.
04:28You might have noticed in the corner, too, it was very quiet except for Freddie Roach.
04:31In the last fight against Miguel Cotto, things got a little out of hand in the corner.
04:36And there was a lot of yelling, particularly from his assistant, Boo Boy, over there.
04:41And it was, I think, a little bit confusing in the corner,
04:44even though Manny ended up dominating the fight and stopping Cotto.
04:47And Freddie Roach actually had a few words with Boo Boy to tell him, you know,
04:51you've got to tone it down.
04:52I'm the voice in that corner.
04:53Very passionate and a good guy, Boo Boy, and a close friend of Manny's.
04:58But, yes, especially in moments because that first round was tough with Cotto and Pacquiao.
05:02Freddie needs to be the only voice heard.
05:05Well, he is really coming hard to that body.
05:08And that may be the way to go because Cotto is not going to allow himself to be hit in the face very much here at the beginning of the fight.
05:18But how long will it be before those arms come down?
05:20Very good point, Brian.
05:22And at what point will Joshua let his hands go?
05:25And that's when I think he's most vulnerable, actually.
05:28When the openings will be there.
05:31That guy being very effective here.
05:35Again, a great right hand to the ribs.
05:43Three-punch combination to the body.
05:45And then he pivoted and moved over to his right.
05:47And he can fight at this pace all night.
05:51That's the other thing you're really going to like about him.
05:53We've talked about it before, but we can't emphasize it enough.
05:56He doesn't take anybody lightly.
05:59And, you know, that's a testament to just...
06:01He's one of the only champions that I know that continues to be hungry, want to learn, continues to grow,
06:08and is passionate about the sports story, even after all the money he's made.
06:12Manny's setting a trap here.
06:13He's inviting Claudie in.
06:14He wanted Claudie to throw some punches.
06:16And again, a three-punch combination to the body.
06:20And Claudie's hurt.
06:22I think Claudie was just playing a little possum and acting hurt.
06:25That'll reaction out of the crowd.
06:30I think it's, hey, I'm tough.
06:32You're going to bang on me all night, and that's all you got.
06:34Yeah, baby.
06:35I don't know if it'll win you the fight to prove you're tough.
06:40Proves you can dance.
06:42We saw that in his ring walk.
06:43Right.
06:44He's got to do more than dance up there.
06:45Yeah, that's right.
06:46Definitely got rhythm.
06:47Let's see if he can get into a rhythm.
06:48There's a jab from Claudie.
06:49He's just starting.
06:50Bell is ringing.
06:51I don't know why.
06:52Pacquiao really being effective with his punches.
06:53A lot of those were slipping through the gloves of Claudie.
06:57Beautiful bodywork.
06:58That may have mistook another sound here for the bell.
07:00But the sound was not a good one.
07:03I don't know why.
07:04He's just starting.
07:05Bell is ringing.
07:06I don't know why.
07:07Pacquiao really being effective with his punches.
07:10A lot of those were slipping through the gloves of Claudie.
07:13gloves of Claudia beautiful body I may have mistook another sound here for the
07:21bell but it sounded like there's the bell at the beginning because I gave it to
07:26the ring to do just what he did there just to get into the fight start start
07:32the fight and I think he's gonna start picking it up and when he releases a
07:39little loosens up with that tight defense that's when it can get dangerous on this
07:43exchanges but he has proven that he can take quite the shot but he's got to let
07:48his hands go he wants to win and have a shot at the big upset here
07:52Accio's gone in large part to the body
07:58another two-punch combination of the body right hand from Claudie
08:03another right hand stiff right hand by
08:08combination from Claudie and an uppercut from Claudie
08:12now you see here comes Joshua now
08:14Claudie himself showing some quick hands
08:21that was pretty good especially for Claudie
08:26being very selective
08:28a lot of lead rights
08:31and actually I think he's he's fighting a pretty smart fight in the sense that
08:39this is when he's obviously the most dangerous Pacquiao even though he can keep up his pace all night
08:44but man he's really dedicating his attack to the body in this round
08:48you know the other thing that strikes me Richard is doing is it's the old Rocky
08:54Marciano thing I've hit him anywhere hit him on the arms hit him on the wrists hit him on the
08:58that's right Barry and that'll inevitably take its toll
09:02I slipped a little uppercut in there there's another one and another left hand behind it and a right hand
09:12beautiful right hand by Claudie
09:22yeah it was
09:23Claudie's at his moments in this round
09:27he has Richie's turned it up and this might be that this is the game plan that De Jesus was talking about
09:33feel him out in the first
09:34get a little of the timing in the second
09:37start letting the hands go in the third
09:38that body work is really something though from Pacquiao
09:44throwing as many punches as Manny is here
09:48will tire out a lot of fighters
09:50but that was a sneaky uppercut
09:52but Manny can probably go at this pace all night
10:08his body shots are just vicious
10:11I can't remember any fighter landing so many clean body shots on Claudie before
10:20smart attack by Pacquiao
10:21great game plan
10:23a better round for Claudie but Pacquiao is just so active and so accurate
10:35Claudie would start fighting in the third round and that's exactly what happened
10:39because he came in and knocked him back with that
10:41and you can tell when Claudie does land
10:45they're strong
10:47Manny could definitely feel it that was a nice left hook right hand combination
10:50Claudie with a nice sneaky uppercut
10:54and when he's been successful in landing a Manny Manny does feel the body is by all means not a light function
11:04so the fight has begun
11:05yeah that was a much better round for Clyde
11:08second round for by the walking towards back out being a more aggressive with his feet
11:28he's still not letting his hands go yet
11:31problem for any fighter fighting manny pacquiao he's one of the most unusual fighters
11:39it's almost impossible to prepare for what you will see in the ring
11:43at least to have any kind of sparring mates who can imitate what he does
11:48again a left to the body the other thing too he outworks you in almost every round so if you're
11:55to win a round you gotta throw a lot of punches right and that's when you become more vulnerable
12:01because of his speech
12:13just missed with that uppercut
12:17clouty looks as though he wants to crowd pack
12:24again great shot to the good section
12:28you can't just sit there and take it
12:32i think manny wants a fight so come on joshua
12:46oblige him
12:49i haven't seen that from pacquiao before
12:53he's trying to get him to come out of that crab-like defense yes and now
13:00oh i thought pacquiao for a second he's going to do all this clouty imitation of the crab-like
13:03but pacquiao got clouty turned slipped the left hand in clouty's still covered up
13:08i thought clouty was doing in the third round was he was picking it up and was beginning to let
13:23the hands go beginning to let him fly but in the fourth round he's reverted to what he did in rounds
13:28one and two which is just to sit there and take it and i don't know i think it might be the wrong
13:32strategy with this guy to think that pacquiao is going to punch himself out that's exactly what
13:36i was thinking uh what i thought is that i hope they didn't count on his conditioning before
13:44that was beautiful but pacquiao looks like he's working the heavy body
13:51notice the pivots of manny this is what when fighters say it's like fighting several different
13:55guys i believe it was de la hoya said he thought i was fighting eight different guys
13:59he will punch you and then he will move big pivots to side to side you're still punching where he was
14:06right exactly
14:11combination from claudia not bad but again just in case of two
14:19manny just opening it up waiting for claudia to hit back or punch back so manny just kept coming
14:23forward coming forward what you got for me joshua what you got for me so he just gives him the old
14:29three stooges move yeah
14:36i don't know if you guys heard it almost whispered in the corner take a chance joshua take a chance
14:41i didn't catch that was that the whisper yeah he's he and that's what he needs to do he's got this
14:46platform he's a he's he's a guy who's he's a big underdog and and you gotta take the chance to
14:52get the big reward and he's got the power to do it
14:59the thing with claudia is in the big fights that he's been in and that he's come up short
15:03he's been very competitive and they've been very close in the
15:10losses that didn't go as well well he was beating margarito until he hurt his hand he was well ahead
15:14on points and that and he was many felt that he could have he closed the show against uh koto that
15:19he had that he was going to win the fight right well toddie throwing a few punches here well i think i
15:28pacquiao would actually almost prefer that to give him some openness yes exactly
15:34which is why i think then he's backing off here a little at the start of the round so he can
15:37lure
15:39potty there's some exchanges which he did right there and pacquiao caught over the right hand
15:44came right back with the left of the body
15:46maybe it's claudia who should have came out to the rocky fiend song if his plan was just to survive
15:51and go the distance
15:56well he's already as lenny denisou said he's playing from behind right now i think he's down
16:03four love at least like my car here he is yeah and somebody who placed the bet on the early line
16:09four is middle out of the league
16:22bit of a chance taken there
16:28uh freddie roach i heard him interviewed during the week and he said i don't i don't think we're
16:38going to knock this guy out i think we're going to have to go 12 rounds it's going to be interesting
16:46i must have been after studying even more film because initially he thought
16:49we're going to be the first one to knock him out we're going right down my body but
16:59but i'll tell you what i've never seen claudia in these fights he's overwhelmed with my punches
17:09i think you're right but i think man is just waiting on
17:16backhouse trying to set some traps in this round and now he explodes
17:21those are mostly being caught on the dorms in the arms but
17:30as we said earlier eventually that will wear you down oh yeah
17:34they're heavy hands hitting me fast
17:38by whether he was actually setting the traps or not claudia was beginning to
17:44get a little more encouraged as he came forward throwing that jab and began to throw some more
17:49punches which is i think as you see pacquiao backing off is what man he wanted but then things changed
17:54that's how pacquiao reacting with a flurry of punches beautiful punching combinations from both downstairs and upstairs
18:06potty's starting to breathe a little bit heavier here
18:09does that come off around six well if he's going to do something offensively he really can't wait anymore
18:14now pacquiao's patting his gloves that usually means he wants the fighter to come in
18:25and he's going to let him attack and he's going to play
18:28defense as you can see he's not letting his hands go but claudia's not obliged
18:31he maintained all week he said i'm going to i want to feel what he has
18:40so and you know that's what he did in the first two rounds started to pick it up in the third
18:46but he's got to get it started
18:49here's a combination from claudia pacquiao just mocks it
18:56well i'll tell you for those who thought and may have thought that pacquiao
18:59he's going to suffer a psychological letdown after the mayweather fight was called off
19:05he came in just as prepared and just as that's just not what he's about yeah it's just not
19:11it's just a testament to what a class act is
19:29that was a left in the head double left of the body
19:36and it flows claudia for a moment
19:40claudia comes back
19:49claudia does have some pop you saw pacquiao kind of took a half step back
20:00oh no definitely has some pop
20:03not doing enough to put that pop be felt
20:06there's a left hand and a right behind it there's a good left jab claudia has a chance to win around
20:18here if he can pick the if he can really pick it up in this last minute
20:21solid chiseled black body
20:35balance shot a lot of respect between these two fighters
20:40on that right side of the body's body's got to be feeling very tender right now got to be
20:44the body covers up pacquiao just obliges with one body shot after another
21:02one body
21:08back out the devout catholic sign of the cross before every round
21:20manny maybe getting a little bruised underneath the eye
21:24i noticed that and i didn't know if it was
21:28it actually looked like he was breathing a little heavy but it's because he's let a lot of punches go
21:32even for manny pacquiao
21:37body coming out a little stronger in this round
21:43so the first real bruising of the fight actually is on
21:46as on pacquiao a little bit of a bruise underneath the right eye
21:51of course nothing looked as bad i don't think that than that ear of his after his fight with
21:57miguel cotto nasty whoa what a sight that was that was uh that was something i needed to get
22:03immediately drained to be in the ring afterwards it was wow and his hand was hurt too his hand he
22:07showed me was really really swollen one of the many attributes of many pacquiao's is toughness
22:13and pacquiao gets cloudy going backward fair body shots
22:21i wonder what that kicking out of the legs was there from joshua he kicked out both legs
22:26and he thought it comes back with the right hand
22:36and he slips the left hand between the gloves of pacquiao
22:48and he slips the left hand between the gloves of pacquiao
23:01and fighting punches
23:07triple left hand and then the left right combination
23:11body not seizing the opportunity when pacquiao is giving him open body shots
23:15well claudia is tough to take these shots
23:33if you're wondering claudia has been knocked down before although he's got this iron chin he actually
23:37was knocked down by cotto with a jab in the first round of the fight which was rather shocking
23:44that's right i remember that and i wondered if it was an off balance thing but no it was just sort
23:49of it was just stiff a sharp jab
24:01i think pacquiao took a round off here
24:05they might have he hasn't been quite as active in the last couple of rounds last three rounds really
24:14definitely swelling on manny pacquiao okay but claudia did much better in that round although pacquiao
24:21early in the round was strong but then after that you saw the kicking out of the legs that i talked
24:27about and after that claudia came back well
24:39joshua may have won that round i thought it was his best whether he wanted or not
24:42it was interesting to hear de jesus in the corner maybe a bit overwhelmed with the magnitude of this
24:50event not any specific instructions just asking him to beat right right
24:55and he's moved to the left pivot counter with an uppercut
25:08back out continues to hit claudia gloves
25:20and he's moving to the right to the body
25:33and he's moving to the right to the body
25:37but that was a bit of a low blow like pacquiao that he got away with
25:50there was a nice left hand that got through the gloves of claudia and another one
25:55and a combination that drives claudia backward
25:58all of a sudden that defense not quite so impeccable
26:05well certainly not to the body can he connect like that to the head though man
26:08hang out hang out
26:10low block
26:15manny taking a bit of a breather because it seemed to me that
26:18the low ball that claudia suffered looked a little worse for wear
26:27but i think pacquiao was starting to get through those gloves to the head a little bit more now
26:43claudia's still reluctant to let it all hang out
26:48from the championship rounds
26:51who makes it that far he'll have no choice good right hook there by manny pacquiao
26:57you're okay the head body yeah let's go
27:04clash of heads claudia says i'm all right
27:13five-punch combination all got there blistering combinations by manny pacquiao
27:21penetrating through an airtight defense i think he's starting to bust up claudia
27:28yeah the legs are looking a little wobbly
27:34the hands are coming apart a little bit
27:39and the speed has not slowed down from any background
27:43if that this is what happens when you let a guy bang on you all night figuring i'll get him later on
27:48by the time it gets to later on you don't have a lot left
27:53and debates
27:54all right manny big round blasting away with combinations
28:07you can see the bruising under pacquiao's eye take a look at it pacquiao says come on bring it on
28:11to me and there's the low blow
28:15definitely low
28:16and i appreciate a trainer who's honest with his fighter who said we're losing every round come on
28:22yeah
28:26hey jesus told
28:29claudia that he needs to let his hands go
28:32open up and let loose problem is i could open him up
28:35for a pacquiao counterpunch well how can it be any worse than what's happening to him he's losing
28:39every round yeah i thought he lost the last one bigger than any other one too
28:42i agree unless he went into the mentality that he wants to i made the rocky reference earlier go the
28:47distance if there's any sort of moral victory for him which would be disappointing because like
28:54i mentioned earlier too but he's been competitive in so many of these big fights so
29:01i believe he has a better chance of letting his hands go as well
29:09again pacquiao just kind of stalking claudia
29:12started to slip through
29:14nice right by claudia and one thing too
29:17manny sometimes feels a little sympathy for his opponents believe it or not no you're right you're right
29:25even in that last round he took a little time off and i remember i remember freddie roach telling him
29:29in the uh in one of his recent fights i think that might have been the fight with de la hoya manny
29:34it's your job to knock him out where you actually had to tell him go on you have to you have to go
29:39it's your job you have to go out there and get him
29:44manny looks pretty intent on that right now he does
29:47the few punches that claudia has landed he's managed to get pacquiao swelled up
29:56which is a testament to his power and one would hope he'd let his hands go more joshua's too much
30:03by the book though and it's all left jab right cross left right cross you know and manny's coming at
30:09you with all these crazy angles weird punches variety of punches body head
30:17and that's what i think was frustrating to jesus earlier his trainer said be creative don't just do
30:21the same thing
30:26body just unable to let the punches go and pacquiao working him probably five six to one
30:32for this eight punch combination
30:48he is definitely wearing cloudy down
30:52does de jesus let his fighter continue on if he feels he has no shot
30:57is pacquiao i think he's got to i think he's got to let it go i mean this is the opportunity
31:09and he's getting beat but he's not necessarily taking it beaten
31:12it was all manny pacquiao once again in the round body head angles
31:27hooks crosses jabs whatever
31:31jabs followed with the body shot followed by the left cross out of the south cross stance
31:36all manny now if you remember the fights with de la joa the fights with miguel cotto got a little
31:41worse every round big time until finally de la joa quit and cotto was stopped that may be what we're
31:47building up to here well we're certainly in those waters this is round 10. and to me this is
31:54almost more impressive for the sense that a guy who's never been stopped and a guy who has got
32:01incredibly airtight defense and it's hard to hurt he's just hard to hurt if manny is able to take him
32:07out quite impressive yeah
32:15cloudy getting his biggest payday gonna go a long way back in his hometown of acro
32:21that was a good right hand yeah i like that that was a different looking punch from manny
32:28good body shot again
32:29and pacquiao starting to get through those gloves
32:49left hand right there
33:00wow beautiful attack to the body it's been relentless for manny pacquiao
33:12and why does pacquiao's face look worse for i know it's true it's so
33:17bizarre pacquiao will attack not only to the sides of the body but right down the middle
33:23and those are the painful shots a lot of fighters don't do
33:30you can get a little higher up in that solar plex
33:32wow just a great right hand in the body
33:35here's a right hand from claudia pretty good shot claudia's showing he's still alive
33:48a little uppercut with the left hand for hosani that was a nice shot man and chopping right hand and another one and another one and another uppercut
33:57pacquiao felt those
34:02now claudia covering up again
34:09probably showing a little bit of life and then backing off yeah
34:11he shouldn't back off he should no he's going for the gusto
34:19now he's back in the defensive mode again he's got nothing to lose at this point
34:22back now backing him up another good left right to the solar plexus
34:31crowd sensing
34:32body's predicament you can feel that rise out of the crowd
34:38body right back with the combination
34:41you know again claudia had his moments just not enough enough yeah
34:47bruising getting worse under the eye of pacquiao
34:51driving to the body trying to drive right through claudia's body it looked like with those shots
34:55beautiful straight punches right nice uppercut that claudia's had success with
35:00and a couple great left hooks but then he pulls back
35:04and then after that one but just not enough of those combinations from joshua claudia let's see if he
35:09lets his hands go these final two rounds yeah he's got six minutes to try to do a lot of business
35:14crowd comes alive here one of the few times really 51 000 is the crowd 50 000
35:27994 to be exact
35:37both these guys have been this distance numerous times
35:50but he needs to get brave it's his only chance
36:06it's frustrating because you know he's got the heart you know he's got the fighting spirit
36:11that you know it easier said than it's done take a chance because when you want to mount an attack
36:16you got these punches coming at you
36:21go go go pacquiao backing off
36:25let's go let's go let's go let's go let's go
36:31two good uppercuts from joshua
36:35there's a right hand pacquiao was open for that shot
36:38again it's five to one for pacquiao
36:54this time claudians is back
36:59pacquiao backs him up attacks the body again comes upstairs to the head
37:08he's a busy round for claudia and busier for pacquiao not enough to win the round he's had some great moments in it
37:22crowd wanting to see the knockout they do
37:38it's going to be a rough morning
37:47it's going to be a rough morning
37:59i thought about a bit of hurt on that nice punch
38:03he kind of staggered out of that corner yeah he did
38:06wow the energy of man
38:09i don't expect manny pacquiao to let up his last fight
38:13miguel coto finished him off in the 12th
38:16and he's that's exactly the reason why some fighters are loved and others are disrespected
38:28he wants to please the fans
38:34he cares like people he got their money's worth
38:36nice big left hook for jocelyn claudia
38:41it was
38:42and there's a head button
38:43let me see you okay
38:45you okay let's go
38:46come on clean clean that's right let's go
38:49a lot of those opportunities fighters yes
38:53both good guys in and out of the room
38:56well pacquiao has made the by far the greatest payday
38:59probably claudia ever had and probably ever will have
39:22uppercut slipped through by claudia where have those punches been i don't know
39:25well something beside the straight left jab and the straight right cross but there was
39:30a hook to the body and an uppercut
39:35i think he thought a lot about those they just
39:38the four punches that were coming out of him at the same time yeah that's allowed
39:41yeah because he's too busy defending himself
39:47he's hit manny quite a bit actually yeah the times when he's throwing him when he's thrown
39:52first time manny has gone the distance in a while yeah so those who think uh
40:01his his punch may have not uh been as powerful up until the last second of the 12th round hey
40:07they've been a great 15 round fighter back in oh yeah
40:11i think i gotta go coach inside the final minute now
40:23another uppercut slipped in by claudia and then the next points as well
40:36the next points as well
40:41well those hands are still fast man look at the speed of hand of manny patty looks like he can go another 12.
40:49battle 10 seconds
41:04way too much talent way too much speed way too much pacquiao way too much manny
41:09that was impressive yeah i sure was i mean surgeon
41:19i generously gave claudia two rounds two all right
41:24to the score cards dwayne ford scores at 120 to 108. well he by martinez 119 109. that's what i had
41:32it's called nelson vasquez 119 109. all three to the winner by unanimous decision the fighting pride of the
41:41philippines and still wbo welterweight champion of the world manny
41:51pacman well he did everything he needed to do i thought
42:04you can't say anything but how impressed you are with this guy i mean he fought a tough guy clearly
42:09caught he was a tough guy came in here very defensive minded and pack out his warm-up
42:15well he wanted to see if he could feel what he was throwing i'm sure he did i think he felt it
42:25his body shots were i mean again this was a well executed fight plan i thought by
42:30manny pacquiao too knowing he was going to cover up he used the body attack relentlessly i don't know
42:37if i've ever seen that many body punches landed in a fight no it's true and uh even by the great body
42:43punchers like chavez i mean this this is uh joshua who had some great moves coming into the ring yes he
42:50did you know he it's not that he fought badly this is not so much about joshua claude it's more about
42:56manny pacquiao as the fight wore on claude really didn't even throw a punch i don't think till the third
43:04round but pacquiao just you know barry his attack as you see it here it's just so varied body punches
43:13with the left body punches with the right head punches with the left head punches with the right
43:17hooks crosses uppercuts whatever and you're looking at a man there and cloudy who was basically kind of a
43:26one two three fighter i mean he did everything kind of like the book jab two jabs right cross and that was
43:32pretty much it it's not enough to beat manny pacquiao no a shutout on one of the judges cards and
43:39i am with manny pacquiao who is in great spirits and looks like he can go another 12 rounds manny
43:44congratulations on yet another unbelievable performance you showed yet more aspects to your
43:52wide arsenal and different angles and combination punches and attacking the body did you feel at any
43:58point that he was in this fight or did you feel from the beginning that you were in complete control
44:04um i i already control after the first round but i never uh confident because he's looking for a
44:13good shot and i mean i know he's uh he's he's strong very strong fighter that's what i was going to ask
44:21you he's clearly he's tough because he took a lot of your shots but how how were those punches on his on
44:25his side i know you've got a couple of marks i don't know the result from the headbutts a couple
44:29of the punches did you feel it because he's a true a lot of people are saying the strongest welcher
