Still in shock at Pac letting Cotto tee off on him, and looking indestructible...

    What I found more impressive is how well he took the neck-snapping jabs that slipped through his guard as well as several huge hooks and uppercuts.

    When Manny says that the punches hurt him, I believe he means that Cotto's punches were indeed painful but he was not going to let on as part of his psychological gamesmanship. I don't think he means that he was hurt as in buzzed or immobilized.

    Manny has the heart of a giant, like Ali, and that's why we love him. I'm from michigan and have been a fan of PBF for years, but I can't wait to see Manny chase this guy down and put a hurtin' on him. I'm so impressed with Manny's speed, power, and willingness to fight. I think it's fair to say he's the most exciting boxer in the business today. Rumble Manny Rumble!

    Manny certainly didn't look stunned, buzzed or hurt at all

    judging by the looks of his face post fight, he certainly took some damage (and even broke an ear drum)

    but he hit Cotto so many more times (look at the final punch stat count)

    Why would you need the weight when you can spot from a mile away that Cotto was the bigger man:huh and Manny was probably close to 150 himself

    Cotto hasn't given an unofficial weigh-in since Judah.

    It was indeed. The bruises just did not show immediately after the fight. But if you will see the later postfight interviews and videos, you will see that he also took some beating and he took it very well.

    I think Pac was hurt in the sense that the punches hurt of course, but not hurt to the point where it would have affected the outcome. Needless to say I was cussing him for standing there letting Cotto hit him in early rounds lol

    pac i think was 149 fight night. cotto i think could not be be more than 155 since he looked a little leaner compared to the clottey fight.

    but I think people are making way too much out of it. I think pac was hurt and buzzed a couple of time, not seriously of course.

    just compare the face of pac-dlh and pac-cotto. in pac cotto, pac took a lot of punishment as well.

    with his head being snapped back a couple of times. there was even an uppercut which slipped through pacs high guard.

    cotto was one mean mofo and i was cringing everytime he hit pac with a flurry of body shots or shots to the head.

    I think the fight would have been more competitive if the kd in the 4th did not happen. that kd took away cottos mental strength imo.
