On paper, Cotto may not be the favorite, but I think MP is the underdog here in real life. Cotto just needs to connect maybe 10 to 20 clean shots on MP, and Manny gets hurt. I'll still be rooting for MP, though.
It's not as one sided anymore. Manny looked much better in his last fight than Cotto did. So at first you got people not giving Cotto a chance saying he would get crushed. It's typical. I want Manny to win. I'm a Cotto fan too though, this will be the first time I'll be really rooting for the other guy since he fought Torres.
Every poster that keeps saying: "I can't for Pacman vs Mayweather" As if its a given that Pacquio will beat Cotto. Not to mention the LOADS of Pacquio fans saying Cotto has NO CHANCE.
Well, I am Miguel Cotto's biggest This content is protected ... And I still can't understand for the life of me why people think Pac is gonna even stand a chance. ...Because a one-eyed Cotto struggled with Joshua Clottey??? atsch Cotto is going to crush him... 5 Rounds tops.
I can't believe anyone who doesn't give either man a chance. I've seen posters who say PAC has NO chance and the same for Miguel. They both have a legit chance in this one. I'm just favoring a Manny victory based on his speed and dynamics as a fighter. The size & strength is a factor but not with Manny's style vs Cotto's.
Thats good though. I think i will be making my first official online bet for this one. The odds should be good enough for that.
Hmmm, I knew De la Hoya would lose, I knew Hatton would lose (not in such a devastating way tho lol) and now I think it's Mannys turn will lose. Cotto can take a punch, he'll buckle but when he's in trouble he keeps on swinging. Cotto will make the correct adjustments to nullify Pacquiao. Cotto by stoppage round 9!
One of the undercards are the Santos - Yuri Foreman card. Its not up to the fans to give anyone a chance at the end of the day its up to the fighters in the ring contrary to what Roach thinks and says... Cotto will punish Manny in a bad way and leave him belly up for the final time in the 7th !!!!!
Cotto is one of the most intelligent fighters out there right now. He can box beautifuly and hit hard. Just like Marquez, Cotto is able to make adjustments in fights. Paquiao has to be able to take some shots and take them well, if he plans on hanging in there with Cotto in the late rounds.
