After watching manny batter cotto around the ring for 12 rounds i noticed a couple of things. If cotto would have kept his cool and boxed behind his jab like he did in the first few rounds he may have had a good chance to win the fight as he was giving manny a very tough fight when he was boixng behind his jab. what do you think?

You're right he should have kept jabbing to stop pac from charging. His jabs were very effective and proved his strength - he knocked down clottey with a jab and managed to bruise pac up with jabs. But after the second knockdown, he was never the same.
The jab worked beautifully in the first round. It was a shame Cotto couldn't keep a cool head after Pac would land a few on him, he resorted to leaving himself open which fell straight into the hands of Manny's game. Bad idea...i think Cotto would have been alot more successful had he not engage as much

I think you're right.....but Pac forced the warrior to FIGHT......and it's not enough of that inside of Cotto no more!!.....last night should've been a eye opener for Cotto fans.....too many wars.....too much punishement.....too much of anything aint suppose to be good!!
for the life of me i cannot see why boxers abandon their jab.... and its always the ones that need it most. when cotto was jabbing he was keeping manny off him, but he quit that as well as lowering his hands...
no idea what he was thinking in there
ps. you owe me 20 k :bling:
here you go mate, i sent the 20k.
he stopped throwing his jab because pac was timing it. First round pac wanted to check his power so he didnt move a lot, he was going only back and forward on straight line...he was giving Cotto false confidence.
Then after the first knockdown, Cotto understands that when he tries to jab, he gets hit before he even throws. Pac trained a lot for this bad habit Cotto has of dropping his hand just before he throws a jab. Everytime he was trying, he had a right in his face.
Whenever Pac threw, he was getting tagged every single time. Pac said it, Speed Kills.
Cotto had his moments because Pac was a bit lazy at times.
I agree, but i still think if cotto would have kept his head instead of fireing back then he would have been able to make the fight a little easier, His jab was superb but he seemed to give up on it and trade with manny.
Nah, the jab was there. He just wasnt following it up with anything but his left hook's, which Manny was blocking.
He needed to use the jab and right hand IMO the uppercut would have worked great in between Manny's guard too.
There's one time he really messed up and that was the 4th round when he was winning going away and then recklessly went after Pac after being very cautious before that. The first kd there's nothing you can do. The second one was avoidable.

I think he still would have lost but he would have done much better. Manny was was getting caught with a LOT of jabs from what I remember.

Cotto won the first round because Pac hadn't figured him out yet, so basically Pac figured him out after the first round.
