Just as we all thought we have already seen the best Manny Pacquiao has to offer in his demolition of bigger fighters like David Diaz, Oscar dela Hoya and Miguel Cotto, we were wrong.

At the 1:37 mark of the 4th round in his bout with Joshua Clottey, Pacquiao let loose his new ultimate super weapon, the cymbals “pompyang” punch. It’s just like a video game player executing the Konami code to unleash the “finishing move” to an opponent.

Ok… that punch wasn’t really Pacman’s best punch nor did it even finished Clottey.

However, in an event that featured Manny unleashing his combos for 12 rounds on a $3 million punching bag, it provided comic relief on an otherwise boring match.

The Pacquiao-Cotto 24/7 by HBO Sports was a nice documentary reality series that focused on Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto’s training and preparation for the bout as well as a glimpse of their personal lives.

However for Pacquiao-Clottey, HBO will not make a 24/7 series. Their executives must be thinking that there will be no interest for that bout as fans want the Pacquiao-Mayweather bout better or maybe the Mayweather-Mosley bout has overshadowed this one.
