As you guys know, Pacquiao vs Clottey didn’t receive a 24/7 series, which honestly was really bad news for all of us who were looking forward to watch small screen drama during the 3 weeks before the fight. In my opinion, the problem was not Pacquiao, but rather Clottey.

Yesterday HBO presented Pacquiao vs Clottey: Road to Dallas, an official pre-fight presentation:

Another obscure fight that most of us didn’t even hear about a month ago, but nevertheless here it is. Still rolling choo-choo train Jorce Arce continued his career when he faced Angky Angkota for the WBO super flyweight title on January 30, 2010:
