Margarito's manager says: Cotto will beat Pacquiao in a rematch (link inside)

[Ayes]

It's in Spanish, someone translate (I could but I'm lazy right now).

“Ahora mismo, luego de ver la pelea nuevamente, estaba pensando en la pelea con Pacquiao. Si Cotto le pelea a Pacquiao como lo hizo con Margarito, se gana a Pacquiao. Lo que hizo fue golpear y boxear, salía hacia atrás y volvía a golpear. Hizo una gran pelea, sino la mejor. Nosotros esperábamos a un Cotto bien preparado, pero no esa magnitud. Evitó el golpeo de Antonio”, aseguró el también especialista en cortaduras.

"After seeing the fight once again, I was thinking in the Pacquiao fight. If Cotto fights how he fought Margarito, he will bean Pacquiao. All he did was hit and box, retreated and hit again. He fought a great fight, if not the best. We were expecting a well prepared Cotto, but not at that magnitude. He didn't get hit by Antonio."

I'm wondering if Arum told him to say that

[juanitoboxing]

Let me translate the other portion...

“Nosotros felicitamos a Miguel Cotto por su triunfo sobre Margarito. Cotto tuvo una gran demostración y un excelente juego de piernas. Las cosas entre ellos son personales y cada cual tiene su derecho de pensar y sentir. Pero de mi parte, como parte del equipo, los tengo que felicitar”


"We congratulate Miguel Cotto for his victory. Cotto had a great demonstration and excellent footwork. The things between them are prsonal and everyone is entitled to their own way of thinking and feeling. From my part, and as part of the team, I have to congratulate them."

You are probably right. He is probably looking to make a Pac vs Cotto 2 fight look more legit. He is clearly trying to stay away from Floyd.

Yeah, a couple of days ago he said he wanted a rubber match but now he says he was "thinking about the Pacquiao fight" while watching the fight. hahaha gotta love Arum

Just a difference in translations, i read it as saying that he avoided being hit, not avoided every punch.

[Nopporn]

Nah.....I don't think so. Cotto boxed Pacquiao in late rounds and he got knocked out finally.

I'll translate the part that wasn't there:

We are amazed at how much better Cotto was in the second fight.
- Because, of course, nothing else was different this time. Yeah, THAT'S it !
