Former champion Joshua Clottey is not concerned with the speed or punch volume of WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao. Clottey challenges Pacquiao for the title on Saturday at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Clottey has a good defense. He plans to block everything Pacquiao throws and then he will counter with his own shots.

"It doesn't matter if he throws 1,000 punches if I'm blocking them. I don't waste punches," Clottey said.

Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach is not worried about Clottey's defense. He think his man will break through in the late rounds and finish Clottey off. If Clottey is going to stand there and just block punches, Roach sees a lot of rounds going to Pacquiao.

"Blocking punches doesn't win fights. We can stop him in the later rounds. The accumulation of punches Clottey will be taking in this fight he's never seen before. I don't think he'll be able to handle it," Roach said.
