You will see Manny run on Saturday

Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by LordSharpshire, Nov 13, 2009.


  1. Not running onto the stage of his post-fight concert. Not running into the arms of Roach after the fight. But, rather, running from Cotto during the fight. As soon as Manny starts to feel Cotto's power, his gameplan will change and you will see him fighting off of his back foot and trying his best not to engage with Cotto.

    Most think this is going to be some kind of brawl but we all know Manny can't win that war. The only chance he has to make it into the late rounds is to literally run away from Cotto and try and survive.

    I'm not saying Manny doesn't look good early or anything but rather it is only a matter of time before Manny feels Cotto's power and him and Roach decide that they need to keep as much distance possible from him and hope they can get a decision somehow.

    Please. If he feels his power, he will simply use lateral movement to avoid a full out brawl. Also with Manny's personality, he won't run if lateral movement doesn't work, he'll actually go out on his shield. Unlike Cotto, who would rather give up.

    Pac will run? Pacquiao will die in the ring before that even happens

    Cotto ran against Margarito, if u know Pac he doesn't run, he engages toe to toe, if u knew Pac of the lower weight class, he brawls and fights like a madman doesn't care what happens

    it takes alot of abuse to get Cotto to quit, and in order to get that done you will be hit back with an onslaught of power shots in return.
    I fully expect Roach to **** this fight up for the fans, if Miguel hits him with a border line shot, we will see another Unca Roger.
     
  6. Stellar argument.

    Yea you maybe right , but do u really think Pac will run from getting beat up from a boxing match and quit and just run away? Pac grew up as a poor young kid force to work in a 3rd world country with nothng to lose, trust me getting KTFO or beat up is the least of his worries

    Patay kung Patay ( Pac will die in the ring b4 he quits or run) and u know this
     
  9. But that strategy isn't going to work against Cotto. That's the point. He isn't gonna want to "go down in flames". Him and Roach have a backup plan and that is to try and survive when things get too rough.

    I think the moment Roach sees Manny in that kind of trouble Roach will do his job and throw in the towel, I also see Roach running into the ring the way Uncle Roger did for the Judah fight when Cotto hits Manny with a borderline shot....

    I think reality has set in on Roach, that the contracted weight isnt going to work, the mind games are not working, and if those distractions are real on Manny side, Roach in his own mind knows whats comming.....
     

  11. Manny has never faced someone of Cotto's caliber @ this weight class (and please don't bring DLH's name into it, you know I'm right).

    And, Cotto fought Margo that way from the get-go. He was fighting off of his back foot for most of the fight...and it cost him. You don't have any power going backwards and that's why Cotto's shots didn't have as much of an effect on Margo as they could've.

    Amd what does that have anything to do with "Pac is going to run"?

    Pac doesnt run from nobody and he will not run tomorrow.

    i guess out-boxing and counter punching is no longer appreciated amongst boxing fans, well the dumb one's that is.

    You've been posting some pretty questionable bs as of late. First you say Manny is scared and then you say he'll run from Cotto? How long have you been watching Pac fight I might ask? Pac has improved immensely since his days as a destructive buzzsaw in that he utilizing more in and out movement to set up his punches and avoid punishment. If anything, Manny will resort to attacking like he used to if Cotto starts getting to him. He wants to give the fans what they want even if that proves his undoing(going out swinging as supposed to trying to run out the clock)

    Neither man is scared. Both have a degree of butterflies leading up to this megfight(or else you'd have to ask them both if they even know what their getting into) This is elite pro boxing, don't be scurred.
