Emmanuel Clottey Beaten

Sun, 25 Jan 2004 Source: --

Francisco "Panchito" Bojado continued his rise to the top by decisioning Emmanuel Clottey in Atlantic City.

The touted prospect and former Olympian, beaten just once so far as a pro, ground out a hard fought unanimous decision victory over Clottey, who had his moments.

Scores were 97-93, 97-93 and 99-92 for the 20-year-old , who improves to 15-1 (11) as a result.

The teak-tough Clottey, from Accra in Ghana, drops to 21-6 but can take heart from such a display.

The pair traded at close quarters from the opening bell, but Bojado always had that extra bit of quality about his work and came through fairly impressively in the end.
