Boxing News 2010: Pacquiao dispatches Clottey with ease

Freddie Roach and Manny Pacquiao at the Pacqui...Image via WikipediaARLINGTON, Texas — Fighting on the star, Manny Pacquiao showed once again why he is the star.
With most in the crowd of 50,994, the biggest fight crowd in the U.S. in 17 years, cheering him on at Cowboys Stadium, Pacquiao dominated a strangely passive Joshua Clottey from the opening bell Saturday night to retain his welterweight title.
One ringside judge gave Pacquiao every round; the two others gave him all but one.
Clottey kept his gloves up high in front of his face and chose to engage Pacquiao only in spurts. The strategy worked to keep him upright, but he was never competitive in the biggest fight of his career.
"He's a very tough opponent," Pacquiao said. "He was looking for a big shot."
