Manny Pacquiao can't fight going backwards. When and if a fight does this to him effectively, he's going to lose big time. Cotto has the tools to do it but we'll see if he will.
I agree with:
Eddie Mustafa Muhammad
I see Cotto winning by knockout.
Everything was set up to favor Pacquiao in this fight, including the weight, but I think that catchweight of 145 pounds will bite Pacquiao in the ass. Having Cotto come in a pound or two lighter than usual will only make him faster.
Cotto is going to go to the body, he has to do that to slow him down. Simple jabs -- doubling and tripling them up -- will get him inside as he applies pressure. He’s going to keep Pacquiao backing up and when Pacquiao counters, he will counter the counters. Pacquiao still comes in with his chin held high. I think Cotto can catch him.
If Cotto does what he should do, apply pressure and a good jab and works the body, I see him winning by late stoppage.
Muhammad trains THE RING’s No.1-rated light heavyweight Chad Dawson, former heavyweight title challenger Michael Grant, and heavyweight prospect Bowie Tupou.
Rudy Hernandez made an interesting point............
Think about this,“Pacman” hit Oscar with everything but can you tell me if at anytime, De La Hoya was on shaky legs?
Yep. There was also a time when DLH was cowering. Hernandez must have been keeping his eyes close the entire round 7. I doubt if you really believe Oscar when he said that Pac did not hurt him.
