HBO: Pacquiao vs. Cotto - Fighter Strategies/Preview

Thanks Pancho, good videos there. Can't wait for the fight.

 

wow! tnx

 

Damn... When Bert Sugar was talking about Cotto out-jabbing Mosley and they showed clips from the fight... **** me... Shane looked like ****. I forgot how bad he looked that night.

 

Well, it was another case of Sugar talking out of his ass, because Shane is absolutely not a master jabber. Shane flicks with his jab, for ****'s sake! Shane really is a fast brawler, or at least has been for most of his career. His problem has always been that he could be great if he would use his head, but he never does because it's more fun to get in there and fight.

The Margarito fight was a major exception, because Shane went in there with a gameplan as prepared by Nasim, a real and professional trainer, unlike Shane's father. Shane is already great, but imagine just could much greater he could have been if Shane had been trained properly all these years...:verysad

 

Roach said he studied Cotto's flaws and he knows Manny could capitalize on it. He also has to remember that it works both ways in that Cotto is also studying him as well and Roach can't fight the fight for him, Manny has to be the one to execute. Cotto is also a all around fighter, a good one at that, so Roach has a insurmountable task at hand being the fact Cotto doesn't have to land as many shots to end this fight.
