As a boxing fan, i hope it goes the distance. I predict less than 10 rounds w/ the winner winning by TKO.
I vote for 8-9 rds. The pac might win this one by stoppage (cuts) or cotto by KO (power shots). But there are many possibilities: Rds 1-3: Pac by KO with a hail mary punch, Hatton style Rds 3-6: Cotto by KO by his sheer size (fight night: 150lbs pacman, 160lbs cotto), catching pac with a left hook as the pacman moves to his right side. Rds 7-10: Pac stops Cotto through cuts, or Cotto stops Pac through body blows/power shots Rds 11-12: Either man might go down: due to cuts, power shots, or corner stoppage. Decision: UD for Pacman. IMO Pacman gets the W, 65%. Cotto better improve his defense or he might be eating the new PACMAN UPPERCUT.
It goes the full 12.......both guys will try and box....it will be a tactful fight....I see a decision for pacquiao 116-112......but i'm pulling for cotto....manny will win on activity
I see 12 rounds of power punches...with blood, exhaustion and a very close decision at the end of it (Pac just winning). I hesitate to say this as I don't want to curse the fight, but I think we could be in for a fight for the ages. This will be war!!!
I THInk the 1st two rds. will define the fight/winner... whatever happens in those rds. will be very interesting and predicting of what the end of fight might be.. Cotto is my man, but hopefully he doesn't get cut, specially not too early.... that'll be a bad thing, chances will drop greatly... that being said, Cotto,if he comes like when he fought Mosley!
Cotto will have some success, but all in all, Pac will be too quick for him. Cotto's face will get busted up like it did against Margarito. He might even go down once or twice, but will make it to the 12th, where the fight will be stopped due to Cotto taking too many punches.
Cotto destroys this Filipino midget in two after toying with him for one. Then after he smashes his face into a car windshield, he takes his mother, Dorothy Pacquiao, out for a nice seafood dinner and never calls her again.
