Cotto is going to land solid on Pac, be it to the head or body, that's a given. It's to be seen how well Pac can take Cottos shots. if Marquez had Pac wobbley, how in the hell is the bigger stronger Cotto not going to hurt Pac? Unless Cotto's face comes apart early and blood in the eye becomes a factor in the fight,I don't see Pac making it to the 12th round. The speed and akward shot might give Cotto some difficulties, but with Cottos fight IQ those problems will be figuered out by the 5th and possibly taking out a brave Pac by the 8th.
That's because Clotteys got that tough African skin. When have you ever seen him look beat up??? :hey
You are probably right. Being a class act does not proclude one from excercising a competitive advantage
Pac's face will defo hold up better than Cotto's. In case a "Butt" occurs. I'd give PAC the scare tissue advantage (Or lack of it compared to MC).
You have to be delusional if you think the cut did not impact Cotto's accuracy. I was going for Clottey in that one, so I was glad that the cut was impacting him, but I believe the margin would have widened if Cotto had his full vision. No way the decision would have been as controversial.
Cotto will not bum rush Pac the way Hatton did. Compared to a battle worn and dehydrated Oscar, Cotto is a whole different kind of beast. I think there is a very good chance that Pac will find out right early that he is NOT a welterweight. At the same time I'm very hesitant to make a flat out prediction.
sure... tight defense, until he opens up to fire a shot. then pacs speed will let him right hook roll under cotto repeatedly, same move every time.
