Roach: "Pacquiao Is Going To Make Beating Cotto Look Easy"

Roach is gonna eat a bucket of **** if Pac loses.

but its not gonna happen.

You can just watch Pac vs JMM and then Cotto vs Judah back to back and you will see that Pac will win this fight. And I use those 2 cause its one of Pac's harder fights and one of Cotto's easier ones.

 

Thats real stupid. Manny had a hard time with a 130 JMM and Cotto looked like a beast in tearing Judah apart. He gave Judah the biggest beating of his life. Thats really not a good way to judge the fight using those two examples.

 

You think Uncle Bob could make a 180 catchweight?:yep

 

I know Cotto is a much better fighter than Pacs last three opponents, but Roach's predictions for those three fights seemed absurd too - and he was right about all of them. I'm still undecided on who I like for this fight but the fact is Pac has been a wrecking ball his last few fights, looks insane at this weight, and has shown a more pronounced 'killer instinct' than Miguel in big fights. If I had to make a prediction, Freddie's wrong - it doesn't look easy, but Pac does close the show on cuts in the late rounds.

Roach is gonna eat major crow if Pacquiao loses. Though, I gotta give it to him, he has nothing to lose in this one, only possibly motivating Cotto to put a hurt'n on Pacquiao more than ever on Nov 14.

 

roach has talked way to much **** for this one. i hope cotto puts it to manny just to see roach's face and interview after the fight. cotto by late round stoppage!

 

Roach is supposed to Hype his fighter, and most prized pupil. I doubt he'd make beating Cotto look easy if he even wins at all. As the fight gets closer I've changed my view on the fight. At first I thought Pac-Man would get a late round stoppage from accumlation or cuts, but I believe Cotto will win.

Cotto is a complete fighter and I have followed him since he fought on ESPN. Cotto is so focused, and poses more than a threat than just his size and strength. Cotto is knocking out big strong welterweights with a strong jab, underrated boxing skills and counterpunching, and strong will to win. Pac-Man has showed heart many times but I believe Cotto wants this win a little more and is willing to put it all on the line. Also people are focusing to closely on the speed of Manny and not the technical mistakes of both fighters.

Cotto is 3-0(3 ko's) against southpaws, has defeated harder punchers and fighters just as fast. His left hook and jab will be the key, Manny isnt the best at taking body shots.If Cotto forces Manny to ropes a rough inside fight and mixing in Counters he will get a mid round stoppage.

One LARGE bucket of **** or I've learnt nothing over the years --:smoke

 

We shall see, But it's obvious from all the press & coverage that Cotto defo is supposed to lose this. (He is up against all marketing aswell)

 

I have a feeling that Roach would only be talking this much if he was 99.9% certain of a victory. Manny should be too fast to get caught on the ropes, and Manny should be too fast, accurate and unpredictable in his punch selection for Cotto to defend against it.

 

:deal

 

I like Freddie, but of late, he seems to talking more & more with each fight that Pacquiao has. Sure, we all know Manny is a great fighter, but saying he's going to make it look easy against a guy of Cotto's calibre is disrespectful towards Cotto imo.

If Pacquiao loses, just what the fcuk is Roach going to do? He's going to have to eat a big slice of humble pie for starters. It does get on your nerves when a guy keeps talking & talking. Roach has tried to play mind games with Jose Santiago aswell, saying he's not experienced enough to be Cotto's head-trainer. That's the way one does learn, the way one does gain experience.

Roach has said Pacquiao will make it look easy, which is plain bollocks. However, I predict a certain Mr Mayweather will take of Pacquiao easier than people think if they ever meet in the ring! Pacquiao is a superb boxer, but he won't be able to hit Mayweather the way he has been guys like Hatton & De La Hoya!

I have said for some time that I'm backing Cotto to upset the odds & I;m sticking to that prediction. In bookies such as Williams Hill & Ladbrokes, you can get odds of 7/1 for Cotto to win on points, which is fcuking crazy for a guy of Cotto's class!

 

i saw one interview where roach said that pac will make cotto looked like an amateur.
