Manny has a secret weapon

that's the combo that he needs to throw against cotto... right hook, uppercut. or jab, uppercut. but it might be better to hangout outside and land the jab and straight right.

...to bad pac hasn't shown any kind of defense in late rounds...and oh yeah and he doesn't have an uppercut... :S

Pacquiao and Roach wil work tirelessly on a punch that capitalize's on his opponent's weakness. In this fight I'd wager they'll be working very hard on the uppercut.

He eats his own shit.

if cotto come out and try to hunt manny down he would be playing right into roach and manny plan because manny loves to fight backing up firing off shots so we will see if cotto plans to box or slug... Manny won't be dumb enough to fight Cotto going backwards because Cotto's one of the best at cutting off the ring on you and finding the opening. Pacquiao's best shot is to use his speed and circle around Cotto. If he exchanges or lets Cotto control the pace, Pac's in serious trouble.

so is manny

if cotto come out and try to hunt manny down he would be playing right into roach and manny plan because manny loves to fight backing up firing off shots so we will see if cotto plans to box or slug... Manny going back against a guy who can cut off the ring like Cotto does is a huge mistake. Cotto doesn't necessarily swing blindly, he's a real patient dude when throwing his shots.

anyone else thinks manny drops that hook on cotto??? Nope...Cotto will take Manny's shots simply because Manny's isn't going to be overly aggressive on Cotto knowing Cotto's going to be waiting on his move. If it were as simple as Pac just going in and landing a hook and dropping Cotto, there wouldn't be a catchweight at all.

Pac needs str8 punches and uppercuts. Forget hooks, crosses, and overhands. And he's better off targetin Cotto's head in the 1st half of the fight. Gettin in close to bend the body will only get him hurt while cotto's still fresh. corley was able to hit cotto with counter right hooks. I think pac should be able to do it too, but I agree, pac should really fight from the outside, dart in and out and potshot.

Everyone knows that manny is very quick and hard as hell to hit clean so what else will pacman bring to the fight??? We all know it will be that counter hook with that bomb ass righthand and i mean bomb...that is where the cut is on the left eye if i,m right and that just make for swelling and eye closure simple as that...manny will do damage to cotto face and i was just talking about that righthook let alone that straight fckin lefthand down the middle over and over again... I don,t know if anyone really thought about this but, mannys speed and slickness will be i believe to much for cotto no matter how good he is period...there,s a lot of pac fans and lot of cotto fans and hopefully we don,t have a fast fight in this one, let,s all hope... pac better hook and jab at that cut above cotto's left eye.

I think this fight will be similar to the DLH gameplan but kicked up a notched due to the live and more dangerous opponent. Right hook will be combined with side stepping to negate the jab but priority will be circling and in/out with straits.

anyone else thinks manny drops that hook on cotto??? Cotto will get hit, and hit hard. It's gonna be a war in that ring. I see these guys having like, mirror advanteges over each other, like Manny=speed/Cotto-power, and both have great boxing skills and have heart. I make no predictions, but i have it 55/45 Cotto only cuz Manny is stepping up in new weight and i don't know how he will fare with it. So yeah, i think Manny will land it, probably more than once...the question is, can Cotto take it long enough to damage Manny enough to pull the win. I just really hope theirs no bullsh1t robberies or big cuts to inhibit either guys fighting abilities. I wanna see a long war...lol. GL to both guys! :boxing: :boxing:

... I don,t know if anyone really thought about this but, mannys speed and slickness will be i believe to much for cotto ... No. Nobody has mentioned that.

anyone else thinks manny drops that hook on cotto???

i hope cotto can get the fck out the way...ha ha ha

hey, no problem...that was just my o u no...and i like both guys also but, i think manny will land that bomb ass righthook 4show...watch...he will hit cotto at will with that fckin hook... Lol, cool. we all good. (and I hope manny misses). he hehe. lol

well we know who the newb is rooting for... You got it all wrong champ. lol. I like Manny as much as I like Cotto. But your onesided analysis of the possibilities are hilarious. Just thought I'd poke some fun bro, don't take it personal. It's my nature to be a clown. If I offended you , my bad. :boxing:
