at first, i was predicting for a pac mid ko but with recent things i've been reading... i'm starting to predict a 50/50 for this one..
I somehow get the feeling that Roach has come to understand the obstacle that will stand across the ring come nov 14th. Maybe the decision was brash and abrupt, maybe the Cotto that pac and roach saw fight Clotty was average at best....or maybe just maybe they miscalculated. Cotto has that rare ability to off set speed and agility with percision timing and ring intellegence, if pac cannot make a signifigant dent in cotto to keep him defensive minded he will be in a world pain. I love both these fighters but Cotto will most likely stop the pac monster. Cotto with all his suppossed flaws is a student of the game will slowy but surely break pac down.
When this fight was announced 90% of posters thought Pac was going to win, now its Cotto! All because Freddy hasnt been able to contact him, and Miguel's already training. I still think Pac wins this.
i still cant get my head around making cotto do 145. if pacman / roach think they can beat cotto and add a wbo welter title to the collection, then prove you can beat a proper welterweight cotto....not a handicapped one. this is bugging me big time.
C'mon doug.ie 2 pounds won't be such a handicap for Cotto he was fightin at 140 not long ago. Cotto is not a big welterweight like Margarito or Clottey
