    I've already got £30 on Pacquiao by KO - prior to the weigh-in.... the prices haven't moved at all.

    We're really going to see what the Margarito KO did to Cotto tonight

    My confidence in the Pacman is not wavering.

    I think we will find out alot about Manny in this fight, how will react to a 145 live fighter landing clean on his chin and body?. ODH was dead at the weight and Hatton never really got into the fight, so i feel Cotto will answer these questions.

    I am going for Cotto win via late TKO, but you can never count Manny out he is top talent.

    Cotto at 16/1 to win rounds 10-12 is tempting.

    Pac late stoppage. Accumulation of fresh, crisp punches will eventually wear him down. Also Pac's leteral movement and the way he can throw 3/4 punch combo's and be off to either side will give Cotto problems IMO. Like the way he dropped Hatton first time.... I know Hatton went down but that first KD when Pac threw the right hook, he was stood right off at Hattons side before he was even going down, if Hatton wouldn't have fell Pac would have been perfectly positioned to catch him flush 3/4 times before Hatton would have had time to move and I see this being difficult for someone who stalks like Cotto to be able to deal with.

    Cotto's chin/stamina are not De La Hoya esque either so I can't see him taking a beating like that and surviving , although I doubt very much he'll getting put out on his back and he doesn't tend to jump into punches a'la Hatton.

    I was going to write down my prediction/analysis but after reading this I'm just going to quote you and second what you said.

    Pacman's fast, powerful and moves very well. He'll be ahead on the cards throughout the fight, and possibly get a TKO towards the latter rounds if Cotto gets desperate.
