Manny Pacquiao to attack Clottey's body to defeat him

Attack Clottey's body. That is the strategy Manny Pacquiao will undertake in defeating Joshua Clottey in the coming March 13 showdown against the boxing star from Ghana. Since Joshua Clottey has a remarkable chin, Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao is more likely to attack the Ghanaian’s body.

According to his coach Freddie Roach, Pacquiao will test Clottey’s body like no other fighter has done before.“Clottey's got a good chin and so forth but nobody has tested his body as much as we will,” Roach said in an interview with FightFan.com. “People with good chins don't always take it into the body.”

Pacquiao is scheduled to fight Clottey on March 13 in the match called “The Event”. The bout is slated to take place at the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, Texas.

Clottey laments lack of government support

Unlike Manny Pacquiao, Joshua Clottey of Ghana, laments the lack of support from the Ghana government. Clottey's trainer, who is supposedly scheduled to fly to the US to train the Ghana star for his upcoming fight against pound-for-pound Manny Pacquiao. But visa problems prevented Clottey's trainer, Godwin Dzanie Kotey, to be with Clottey on his training sessions. Right now, Clottey is forced to train under the guidance of a substitute trainer who the African fighter is not accustomed to.

"I am with a trainer but not the one I want and you know it so don't ask me because you know I came to Ghana to bring Alloway (Kotey's nickname) with me to come with him so I will do my best," said the 32-year-old Clottey, who now lives in the Bronx in New York. Speaking to Ghanaweb over the weekend, Clottey, who battles Pacquiao on March 13 at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas, said Ghanaian boxing officials and the government itself have not been very helpful in his request that Godwin Dzanie Kotey be given a hand in applying for a renewal of his US visa.

"Tell Ghana that they've disappointed me by not giving my trainer visa to come here with me."

Clottey had to break training camp last month when Kotey was denied a visa and while he was in the capital of Accra, Ghana officials said they will help Kotey apply and succeed in getting a renewal, forcing the boxer to head back to the US again to renew his preparation.
