Manny got hit too many times against Cotto

typical ESB bull****..

 

Cotto going into full retreat kind of broke Manny's concentration. I don't think it was even as much "technical flaws" as just feeling the air going out of the fight and losing some of his intensity. And then when it wasn't stopped after nine, he kind of kept looking at Bayless like "do we really have to do this?"

I don't think the second half of that fight really offers much gauge for how Manny would or wouldn't "deal" with Floyd's movement. The circumstances were totally different.

Cotto's punches hurt him. It slowed him down. Game plan wasn't working so he threw it out and just did what he does best. Use his power, use his quickness.

 

Well first couple of rounds he didn't exactly stick to game plan. I think he
found out on the ropes he could take Cotto's punches and then threw
caution out of the window a little bit when fighting Cotto toe to toe. If he
really wanted to not get hit, I'm sure he would have gotten hit much less. He
just figured he could take Cotto's punches and took a little bit of risk, to get
his offense in more. I like that in Pac, he has guts-a-plenty.

 

I knew what you meant.

I just love posting that clip. :rofl

 

In case you don't know, Cotto is not the weight drained Hoya or the "shot" Hatton. Cotto is an elite welter who can bang and hit with good accuracy. Are you expecting Pac to do a Floyd and be a slick defensive fighter?

Before the fight, did you predict Pac to potshot his way to victory?

 

He's never had a great defense. Don't know why people are surprised he got hit in this fight.

 

pacquiao was almost untouched during hatton fight and he get little credit because idiots thought hatton is on decline..

now pacquiao got hit a lot by cotto who is a top ww and he is still being criticized, when will these pussies give credit where it is due?

 

Of course he got hit. Cotto is no bum...the fact that he got hit so much, and still kicked some ass is the reason why he deserves so much credit for this win. Pacquiao has never been known for his defense...besides, he got hit, but I wouldn't say he got hit "too many times". He got about as any marginally good defensive fighter against Cotto would have.

 

Silly biased thread!
