Really hope Cotto is back to his pre round 7/8 of the Margarito fight self and beats Pac, if he is the Cotto we have seen since then Pac will win this.
I think he needs Much Higher level sparring partners then this Cotto fight is no joke i think for the first time in his boxing life his gunna be in over his head and he needs to do everything he can now in the build up to give himself a chance come fight night
No one is. In fact, you are the one making a big deal out of nothing here. Congrats. Everyone posts stuff like this before a fight. Like Floyd vs Alexander (I think) sparring before the JMM fight.
oh **** for a second there i thought he was getting his ass handed to him in sparring. man thats a relief to hear.
i just been watching some recent workout videos. i see pacman as way too fast for cotto. however pacman has a tendency to get caught up in the moment and dragged into a war. when he gets dragged into a war its anyones game e.g morales and jmm. pac needs to take a leaf out of mayweathers book and slip away from the 1 for 1 exchanges. if he can box throughout the fight he will probably stop cotto late or at worst get a UD.
People here understand it's sparring, but you're the only one making a big deal about it. Each to his own. You don't like the threads, don't bother reading it. Don't tell people what they should and shouldn't like to read.
Every Pacquiao fight since the first Morales bout he has been breaking sparring partners ribs and developing special new techniques atsch
You don't get sparring partners in camp to make you look good....it's to help improve and to push you in order to get better before the fight. They are not holding back in sparring....if you ever been to the wild card gym and know about Roach, they don't go light in sparring until the last week of camp.
Or they could have altered reports to make the impression PAC is not on his game. That way Cotto begins to take PAC lightly. not that its true, but it happens at times. But I just think they are being honest.....letting people know PAC is human and he does get hit and he can be beaten. At the end of the day PAC is ramping up to get into Peak form and from the sounds of it he's on pace.
