    Cotto on the 20 foot ring;

    "Pacquiao is not a better boxer than Miguel Cotto. So if someone is to benefit from the ring, it is going to be Miguel Cotto,"

    Cotto on his training;

    "I feel a little bit exhausted, me muscles are sore. But this is normal in the first couple of weeks. We have worked hard as was usual do,"


    It loooks like Cotto is already in full training mode. For whatever reason, he constantly likes to refer to himself in the 3rd person. Anyway, this should be a good fight. Cotto will actually get to be the agressor again, and not have to do much backpeddling. Pac better be on his "A" game.

    Yea, Im guessing he's going to try and lose a little muscle starting this early, instead of cutting extra water weight.



    Pac must be prepared. This is his biggest test by far.

    I wonder how he is going to take the body shots but I wonder how Cotto will deal with the straight lefts.

    The more I see the more I believe Cotto is going to destroy Manny. I feel sorry for the Manny fans that believe he has a shot. I think Freddie misread the Clottey fight, even though Cotto lost and looked terrible, that was more to Clottey just being bigger and better than Cotto, not Cotto having fallen off or beginning a downward trend.

    I know Manny can't outbox Cotto and he can't out brawl him either.

    Pac will try his best to stop Miguel from landing those body blows. If too many land, Pac is in trouble. See round 3 of Cotto/Judah to see how Cotto stops opponents from landing that straight left.

    I agree with Cotto. When did Pac turn into Whitaker?

    :lol: Cotto was taught well by Tito for sure.

    Im really thinking though that Pac is going to cut Cotto in his mouth, very early.

    Judah didnt land anything significant in round 3. It was actually a 9-9 round since Cotto was dominating until the low blow happened.

    And you say you dont have a Cotto agenda. :lol:

    If he's gonna get cut, I hope it's on the mouth, then he won't really be effected by it.

    You can easily be affected by cuts in the mouth.

    Drinking lots of blood, and if you don't drink it, you have to constantly spit it out.
