I'd tell him to Back Pac up and walk his bitchass down. Everyone knows Pac cannot fight off the backfoot or with his back on the ropes. He has to be on his toes jumping back and forth like a frog on crack and leap in with his shots. This of course leaves Cotto with plenty of counter opps with his grade A timing and Boxing skill.. BUT I think if Cotto backs Pac up with his POWER Jab and walks him down then he can maximize his superior body punching ability and get Pac out of there. Just my opinion... What do you guys think?
i dont think he should bum rush him, as much as walk him down steady until he has no where to go!!! valid point
Personally I think Cotto needs to Jab early in the fight mix up a few lead rights and throw to the body. I am not to clear on this fight as Cotto has struggled to make weight in the past at 147, perhaps he will come in dry or exhausted at the catch weight. At 147 I don't see Pac doing anything to Cotto. Cotto could allow Pac to win the first 2-3 rounds and then step it up to destroy him in the middle rounds. If Cotto has no issues with the weight, I think Pac is in for a humiliating beat-down.
Yea not bum rush but Walk him down and This content is protected , If Cotto can do that then the fight is his. Pac cant fight going backwards.
I would agree. But very intelligently and cautiously. He needs to have smart aggression. Don't rush him like Ricky Hatton with no head movement. And he also can't just follow Pac around. His legs and footwork are far too fast that he would just be bouncing all over the place. Cotto needs to cut off the ring. If he just follows he'll get outboxed. Jab, cautiously stalk, work the body, and cut off the ring. That's got to be the gameplan.
