Pac will not allow Cotto to breath and gain momentum. From 1st round, Pac will take the initiative in pressing him to submission.
I will eat my hat if he pushes Cotto from the opening bell, it ain't happening. Pacquiao needs to be careful running in with his hands down, Cottos precision enables him to catch Pacquiao flush, and hand him power he's never felt before.
Why not, Cotto is noted for being a slow starter. Anyway, that's Roach's plan following Zab Judah's blueprint.
Timing off sets speed which your video showed Cotto doing against Zab. I don't want to hear the low blow ****. That was the first and only instance where it ever occured and it was pretty clear Zab was exaggerating. Mayweather throws elbows, hatton wrestles, Hopkins uses every dirty veteran trick no one fights completely clean...its a fight. The Low blows weren't intentional and weren't ever repeated. Also for all those who continue to dispute Cotto's advantages in the fight by saying, "we heard that before with Hatton and Hoya" the same can be said about everything being pointed out as an advantage for Pac. Cotto can't handle speed (Zab, Mosley, Paulie) Cotto is one dimensional (Zab, Mosley, Quintana) Cotto is too Slow (Zab, Mosley, Quintana, Paulie) Cotto has a weak chin (Zab, Mosley, Clottey). The thing not being realized is that is all irrelevent becasue Cotto isn't Hoya or Hatton and Pac isn't any of Cotto's former opponents. While the challenges may be similar the fighters are vastly different.
You've got to be reminded of the low blows that Zab Judah got from your boy. The results would have been different. :deal
i wouldn't be surprised if cotto will do that again if he feels pac is winning in the later rounds... if he is still standing.. i see a bigger vesrsion of diaz happening again!
