Pacquiao vs Cotto - The Fight in Pictures

Just got done rewatching the fight.....

Ive got to say

1 - Cottos trainer did a much better job then i gave him credit for, he tells cotto everything he needs to do and what hes doing wrong and cotto simply doesnt follow his instructions. To quit pulling his punches (another thing that cotto had done since hes been beat, i noticed this in the clottey fight) and to go back to using his skills and his jab, and to quit playing into pacs hands (thinking hes the big guy and walking straight into pac with his gloves up)

2 - Cotto looked pretty much like vintage cotto those first two rounds, it wasnt until Pac 'broke' him that he reverted into the form i keep talking about (stiff, arm punches, ect) I give Pac major props. Also, those first 5 rounds Pac really had to tough out until he broke cotto, what a warrior.

3 - When Cotto was using his skills (the ones haters keep talking that he doesnt have) he really outboxed pac, when he would not try and be the bully in there, and actually box, let pac come to him, use his jab, ect. There is a moment in the 2nd round where you see him almost vissably change tactics, and instead of moving out of the way of Pacs punches, makes a choice that hes going to absorb the shots with his gloves and become the primary stalker. That was Cottos first mistake of the fight. He got too confident after the first round, and thought he could bully pac, and wound up paying for it.

3 - Pac is a beast

4 - Pac is the man

5 - Cotto was done after Pac knocks him down the second time, you could see in his eyes and when he goes back to his corner he was 'broken'

6 - This is the 4th time ive watched the fight and im starting to think even the cotto that fought mosley would lose to Pac BECAUSE, contrary to my belief, Cotto is not as disciplined in the ring as i thought, and against a guy he gets too confident with, he becomes too wreckless (corley) and i think the more he gets tagged down the stretch, the more he will wilt, until Pac is the victor.

My fighters always lose their biggest fights and for some reason i find myself watching those fights over and over and over atsch


Btw... Cottos career kinda reminds me of vargas
- Has a close fight with a ghanian
- Gets stopped in his first fight against a guy who later gets cought with non legal wraps
- Gets stopped in his second loss against a fighter who moved up in weight and he was supposed to be the bigger guy
