Though Manny is one of my favorite fighters, I was betting against him in this fight. He did a spectacular job and come off with a win. Though I'm not going to lie, that was not the same Cotto, no excuses. Congratz Manny.
Cotto was the same, Pac was just that great. Did you watch the first round, the adjustment, how rattled Cotto got. Cotto had an inexperience corner that didn't help him, but he honestly was beat by a better fighter. Pretty simple...
Well i havent watched the fight yet!!! But i thought Manny would win on KO in round 8-9..It must have been a war,from what i hear. Cotto is a really tough fighter,and he deserve all the credit in the world.. And congratulations to Manny for winning another superfight,in witch he was an underdog. Now fans has to bow down,and accept that pacman IS the p4p no.1... What he have done the last couple of years is historical..7 times worldchampion.. Manny just stopped the welterweight worldchampion!!! Thats insane... He is not a coward who face smaller guys like Mayweather,And IMO Manny is a greater fighter and a true p4p NO.1...Fantastic!!
The fight didn't disappoint at all , I knew I couldn't bet on the fight, Pacquiao is my 2nd favorite fighter so I knew what he could do, and he sure as hell showed it tonight. True p4p king.
All cred must go to Pacman!! must admit i though Oscar was goin to demolish Manny, then brought into the whole Oscar was shot hype and thought Manny wouldnt handle a livefighter at 140 hencebacked Hatton over him. After seeing Pacman flatten Ricky i told myself never to put money against Pac. And again when the Cotto fight was annoucned i backed Cotto again thinkin Manny just cant keep beatin these guys along with thinkin Floyd would be to much as well.... although im not surprise by the outcome yet again Manny proved me wrong!!! I am now fully on the Manny Pacquiao band wagon!! Just cant see anyone beating him from 147 down!... Only maybe Paul Williams (if he can still make the weight as effective as he used to) Berto, Mosley and Mayweather don't bring enough to the table to beat him!
Yep, Pacquiao deserves all credit. I thought that it would be a closer fight than that and I never would have thought that Cotto would look as bad as he did in the face. I did think that the fight would go the distance (it almost did) and Pacquiao would be the winner, but not like that. I thought it would be closer. Big props to Manny, I don't like him, but you gotta give him all the credit in the world.
I just can´t wait to watch the fight!!! it´s like torture to read all these threads,but anyway i eat it all raw. That little phillipino is a machine...And a damn clever fighter to! Props to roach for putting a gameplan together that beats cotto´s. By the way,How did Cotto´s corner/trainer react on the fight? Are they weaker after evangelista is gone??
Same here. Full credit to Manny and his team. This was another phenomenal performance from a truly special fighter. :smoke
Me too, I literally lost my bet. Really unpredictable fighter, undeniably Pacquiao is full of surpises.
