Roach: “I don’t think we’ll knock Cotto out".

Cotto is open for right hand counter hooks. He's vulnerable to straight left hands, uppercuts. Judah hurt him with just about every counter punch he landed. Manny's gonna tag him all night.

 

No worries.

Manny is not a runner! He is slick. Even if he's winning he does not run. That is one character that makes hims a very interesting boxer to watch.


Pls look for a fight where you see manny leading in points and keeps on running in the last few rounds of a fight!

 

Because they are a team, I know Roach isn't actually in the ring fighting, But Roach is the brains and Pac is the muscle.

 

i see more problems in training camp, it's been raining a lot in the philippines, and baguio is probably the wettest area in the country.

 

I know Raymond, hes from my gym....

 

cotto looked like he meant all business and even told pac good luck after the staredown...i see cotto gaining confidence back slowly after the loss to cheato...keys to victory for cotto are: stiff jab,intelligent pressure and both hooks downstairs to the smaller body...dont let manny get in a comfort zone were he will fire off....the jab(especially cottos)neutralize alot of work from the opposing fighter setting up cottos underrated right hand to the chest or chin...fight is a toss up....good money says pac by 7th rd ko....but my heart says cotto by 9th rd ko

 

I also think its a Tactic for Pacman.

Roach saying to the media you cant KO Cotto. Pacman goes Ok Freddie ill show you just how good you have taught me.

Inspiring Tactic.

 

Cotto is too slow to find Pacman. Pac will dance and throw combos and move away. (Like floyd to baldomir to an extent/khan last fight) Cotto is not fast enough to chase pac whose footwork will win the fight for him on a ud. Also Cotto cant handle southpaws with speed. Judah exposed that.

 

Judging by what he said there, it appears Cotto has little chance.

Who would though, given that Roach is going to be fighting n the ring too.

 

Are you ****ing ******ed kid?
Roach made Pacquiao. Pacquiao had a jab and a straight left shot.
Now WITH Roach, Pacquiao is a very well rounded-boxer with a great right hook, and great boxing prowess. Roach is the trainer, and the strategist, and his coach. That's why it is we, **** up.

 

:yep

 

*******...I don't even want him to win!?!? And yeah I'm a strategic thinker big deal.

 

How about the word 'TEAM'? :hat

 

It's great to know the training will be to go 12 rounds, eventually the KO will come anyway since Pac commits to his punches full time for 12 rounds. Both guys COULD be in for hell unless Pac shows early that his movement won't allow Cotto to land anything he wants to. One thing Pac should avoid is going to the ropes unless he plans to go there and sucker Cotto into a right hook like he did with Hatton, Pac has the speed to do a lot of things.
