My translation..."Freddie roach has his head up his ass if he thinks hes gonna ko Cotto in one round, Cotto is a real ww and punches really hard. Pacquiao is a great and difficult fighter but its interesting how the fight well play out"
They both said that it's going to go 12 rounds. Vasquez was leaning towrds Cotto, Barrera didn't make it clear, but I'll assume he's for Cotto as well.
Cotto is going to have trouble finding Pac's body like Barrera said. Manny's rhythm and movement will be the key to neutralizing Cotto's left hook.
Damn did he just say that the same tools(left hook, solid jab) that Barrera is known for and wasn't good enough to stop Pac with will have better results for Cotto. I understand the size difference and getting him against the ropes, but the whole left hook, jab hasn't worked yet. I do think that the only way Cotto can win is to get him against the ropes and unload.
size counts for alot... MAB knows this.
Barrera didn't make a pick, he just said it was going 12.
Vazquez said it's going 12 and he's leaning towards Cotto.
Barrera talked about how Cotto will use his strength to push him back and lean on Pacquiao and over 12 rounds it's gonna tire Manny. Both talked about how elusive and fast Manny is and how he just keeps throwing overwhelmingly, and how good he is on catching you off guard.
that's the only way cotto can win... if he tries counterpunching he will get fukked up.
BARRERA:I give cotto the edge because of his speed, and plus he debuted in a lighter weight class. Plus pacquaio is moving up in weight. His camp has been diffent for this fight he trained in the philipines and he has had a lot of distractions. Cotto can knock out pacquiao because he is bigger, so if he is able to corner him he can knock him out. His speed doesnt compare to mannys but he is strong. Manny had a lot of distractions in the philipines but we will see a good fight on nov14. A lot of us has had problems fighting pacquiao because of his style. Cotto has a perfect left hook to the body, and a great jab. his jab and left hook are his two great weapons. he should be very defensive because pacquiao is very fast, so his defense should be good.
THIS IS PARAPHRASED BUT VERY CLOSE TO WHAT BARRERA SAID

Could somebody translate this too?
Basically they both believe Cotto will win the fight. They feel Roach has gone ahead of himself and that he is underestimating Cotto. :boxing:

based on your translation, basically mab is saying that cotto is too big and pac hasn't had the best camp.
hm....... same shit i've been saying for a while now.
Doesn't he have a law degree or something like that?
Yes he does. I was just commentating on his camera presence. He does a good job. Antonio Tarver is another fighter who does a great job commentating and analyzing.
He said something like that Pacquiao has a good straight right hand to the stomach that takes the air out off you and that same punch he takes it to your face and you can feel his strong hands.
