ORLANDO, Fla. - Pedro Luis Diaz Benitez looks very comfortable coming back as team leader Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rican in preparation for his fight with unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. on May 5 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Cuban coach Miguel continues introducing new exercises and training routines, some rarely seen in professional boxing in advance of what could be the most important event of Caguas world champion 154-pound World Boxing Association.

This is the second fight Diaz Miguel Benítez as coach, after an auspicious debut on 3 December, when Cotto knocked his nemesis Antonio Margarito in New York.

Prior to that fight, Diaz said Benitez confident that his ward would win, underlining the importance of lateral movements and striking combinations to defeat the Aztecs.

This time Pedro Luis was more confident note of triumph and, sometimes, even silky. But during an interview with El Nuevo Dia Cotto after training yesterday, the coach did not let Cuban garment around the strategy implemented to overcome the hitherto unbeatable 'Money Man'.

Endi.com Newspaper - Miguel looks very intense in this training camp compared to others...Did you also see that in Miguel's training today?

Pedro Luis - not only in the day today, throughout the day as we've seen projected training. Very good and improving. Miguel is a improving fighter, much better than our first camp with Magarito.

You will see a much stronger Miguel and much faster. If we are talking Mayweather is a much faster fighter (Margarito) and a good defense, we must seek all alternatives to end his defense and neutralize their speed. And that's what we're doing, here we go. This is an important element for victory.

END - 30 days of the fight with Mayweather, how Miguel preparation time compared to their training for the fight of Margarito?

PL - Michael is to fight at any time. Is either at the stage of transformation of general cargo special loads, which is a very important step in the preparation. It is in very good condition.

END - What better time assimilating training is now in his second workout with you?

PL - I have a technology that has already been applied. You know many things and looks better.

END - We noticed a lot of exercises and routines that were not present for the training before the rematch with Margarito. What is this?

PL - going to see a higher Miguel. And that must have something new. This morning we work weights. And we just finished here in the gym a combined work, with a pulse incredible, with a lactate amazing. With a very good urea. With very good baseline pulse stage (which are). So, we're working with optimal values ​​for the stage where we are.

END - One of the main strengths of Mayweather is its ability to continually adjust and neutralize the opposite style. How will you deal with that?

PL - He can adapt to the fight 100 times, that Michael is going to break the adaptation. That does not bother me. So you can adapt what he wants, can be fast, can have the best defense in the world. None of that is going to lose sleep.

With defense, quickly, with adaptation we will win, in the backyard! We are going to win. Forget that.

END - Miguel used his superior long shift in the rematch with Margarito in the ring who has limited mobility. Mayweather is the opposite. Is this a fight that Miguel will have to apply pressure?

PL - It will be a great fight, with victory for Michael.

END - Are the new exercises in a way to keep motivated to Michael in training?

PL - That's a personal problem. Men are motivated in life. And this fight for Miguel is going to mark as the best pound for pound the world. It is facing the best pound for pound the world. So I think that it is a great motivation to prove to Puerto Rico, to show Latinos and to prove to everyone that is a great champion. What about champion pa 'time.

END - What did you think Mayweather's performance against Victor Ortiz?

PL - I was there (in contention). It was Mayweather who took advantage of the moments. And a Victor Ortiz made after an action (wrong) wanted to go with too many excuses. Men are given an apology once, period, no more excuses. If you already apologized to him for that, why do you keep apologizing ¿? Hands came down and the shock came.

END - Mayweather is a genius in psychological warfare before and during the fight. He demonstrated with Victor Ortiz, Zab Judah and others. As they say in Puerto Rico, he 'gets the goats' rivals. Intimidates, insults them, take them out of boxes. Do you have a plan to prevent or counter these tricks?

PL - There are no goats or goats, or anything that will get to Michael. What has Mayweather's brain may not have the brain of Michael? I do not care about the tricks or gimmicks. With that comes, we'll decipher it. With the come!

END - Although it was dominated and won by knockout, Ortiz in the early rounds Mayweather was able to connect to, something that surprised many observers. Did you see something that peels Mayweather for me to say that, at 34 years and is beginning to decline, to diminish as a boxer?

PL - I see something in Miguel Cotto, who is coming up. The other thing I see, but not commented.

END - But did you notice or not weaknesses, a decline in performance, or something?

PL - Of course I saw it, if I was there present. But I will not comment. I'll see you on day 5 (May), when you stick your hands Cotto.

END - Cotto is a super small welterweight, Mayweather is almost the same height. Do you favor yet the weight of this fight with Miguel?

PL - That is the division of Michael. When he comes here, he goes from life. Forget that. Whoever comes, it goes.

And then if we go pa 'up (160 pounds), sky is the limit, that's how we must all think.

END - You notice it more relaxed, more relaxed, even joking during this training. What is this? Do you feel more comfortable in his barracks sengundo with Cotto?

PL - I'm a different kind of person, i don't get nervous or anxious, just think of war. Same for the first fight and for this, my mentality is cold blodded, ready for battle and to draw first blood. None of this intimidates me or impress me. Mayweather doesn't cause me to loose any sleep.

END - The speed of Michael was instrumental in the rematch with Margarito. Will their strength this time the key to a Mayweather is too fast?

PL - We will use training, hands and tactics. That will be the victory. Miguel will win all 12 rounds, if Mayweather comes.

END - Michael had one of his best performances in a rematch with Margarito. Many think she wore a charm What would you like that fight to improve this?

PL - A thousand wonders more to look at two wonderfully with Mayweather.

END - But specific

PL - Improve? Victory is faster. We are working hard for victory. I know that coming, but not when. Furthermore, coaches say when (his fighter will win), I never said that, because that is pure theory, that is another story. Boxing is a sport where you need preparation, tactics and powerful hands. Everything else in the ring is shown.
