COTTO looked so good in the first to rounds i was jus rewatching...he was pushing pacman bak repeatedly with jabs,hitting him wit sum nice body shots 2 but dat didnt seem to push pacman bak or hurt him much he looked real fast also...pacman caught him with sum nice shots n he was eating them,then it all fell apartatsch
He looked good, but not flawless. He looked good in the first, but by the end of the second, Pacquiao was starting to adjust. Cotto also looked pretty good in the 3, until he got dropped. But after the knockdown in the 4th...it was a wrap.
U gotta understand Pacquiao was being cautious and studying cotto the first 2 rounds that's why he was not aggresive, but once Pac turn on the rhythm and the speed Cotto didn't kow how to handle it Like what Zab Judah said Cotto was doing the salsa dance and didn't know what he was doing when Pacquiao turned it on.
Cotto did pretty good but could have been better if he had a better corner. I'm not sure if his corner have a plan B after he got drop the second time. Cotto still have heart and continue to fight till the 12th, hats off to him. :good
cotto was able to get at pac b/c pac let him. in the post interview manny said "i wanted to show cotto that i could handle his power".. it was psychological warfare. manny wouldnt have stood there and let cotto unleash on him if he didnt want too.
I thought cotto was looking good too until he got dropped in the 4th, I was really suprised at Pacquiao's chin, I didnt know he had it to stand up to the uppercut he got in the 4th or 5th, and a few of the left hooks that popped him in the ear. Pac man is a great fighter, alot better than I had given him credit for in the past, his resume speaks for itself. Mayweather better look out, hes about to be in for the fight of his life.
Ya he looked good, but he did EXACTLY what i was hoping he wouldnt do. He got desperate and went overboard trying to punch with pac. Kinda like he did with Corley. If he would have continued to be how he usually is, and just took what pac gave him, the fight could have gone down the stretch and been pretty interesting leading into the later rounds.... but he would have success, and even though his own corner told him not to get desperate, he did it anyways, so he would box well using his skills... taking what pac gave him, then he would go and try to make **** happen by punching with pac and thats when pac ****ed him up. I really thought Cotto would have more bearing then that and be more intelligent.... but whatever, pac is a great fighter.
I agree. He got caught with that big shot and was never the same. Wish he had stayed disciplined. A good corner would have helped.
