Pacquiao - Clottey, in the press

I rarely read the NYTimes, especially for sports, but I did read the story on the Pacquiao-Clottey fight. There was a good section but also a terrible one [quoted below].

Clottey managed to slow the pace through the middle rounds, but Pacquiao continued to attack, landing combinations. Through six rounds, Pacquiao appeared ahead, with the outcome still very much in doubt.

By the 6th round I was thinking the fight was about over. Manny was throwing a shut-out with Clottey never showing the ability to land more than one punch at a time. By the end of the 6th round it looked like Clottey would need a KO to win.
