    something Manny Pacquiao used to great effect last night as it's something Miguel Cotto can't defend against. Watch again and see how he set up hurtful combos starting with the uppercut to blast open Cotto's guard. That is all.

    Pac exploited what i saw is one of cotto's weakness. He does this bull**** duck low defense and got caught many times with an uppercut. Clottey exploited that as well when they fought.

    I really dont know why cotto does that so much. it makes him way off balance.

    I think he's watched the highlight reel from Margarito and seen how good it looked when the wide looping punches were able to be avoided. different ball game when Pacquiao's standing in front of you. The fight shifted in the 3rd when Miguel did good work without hurting Pacquiao that would've won the round. Instead of letting Pac come to him he then went hunting and got stunned with a flash knockdown. It was a great performance from Manny and he took the shots well at the weight.

    yeah his guard is so open for an uppercut. nice bunny ear defence for hooks.but the center is perfect for an uppercut or a left cross. also his boxing work is more of a gimic than a form of defence. margo,clottey,that due who icant remember the name of only had a left uppercut and was tatooing the bottom of his mandible.
