WHAT A DIFFERENCE A VIDEO, OR THREE, MAKES

 

Flavour of the year boxing Coach/trainer Freddie Roach whose Wild Card ...

... gym is being visited by some of the top boxers in the World, says he has studied the videos of Joshua Clottey.

Joshua is the next opponent for his cash machine, Manny Pacquaio and Manny will KO Joshua when they meet on March 13 in Arlington, Texas.

“Manny will knock him out,” Roach told GMA News yesterday. “I’ve been studying tapes of him (Clottey), he’s not very good

“Joshua Clottey is a big strong guy who’s never been knocked out before.

“I think if we break him (Clottey) down, we can get him out of there in the late rounds.

“He has a passive defense and leaves his body wide open for a while when he puts his hands up like that. When we dig to the body and break him down, I think we can get him out of there.”

But now fearless Freddie believes Pacquiao’s speed and barrage of punches will eventually overwhelm the 33-year-old Clottey.

This added confidence comes after Freddie had said on an earlier date that he had prepared Manny to go the full 12 round championship limit. ~
