i think the reason why miguel's confidence went away is because manny was pretending like those shots didnt hurt,and in a way reminded him of the trauma of the margarito fight, especially coz this little guy was taking all his best shots.. i seriously think it got to his head... with that said i think pacquiao did the right thing by doing what he did.. becoz to me thats what really beat cotto.. pacquiao was stronger than cotto mentally not so much physically but mentally..
and so... my hatred for margarito grows stronger and stronger
he fuKKEd miguel's future over...that damn cheater, props to sugar shane for knocking his cheating ass out...karma is a b1tch aint it tony?
"Running", or boxing & moving has always been his plan B. He did it against Mosley, Clottey, Margarito, N'Dou, Abdullaev in the past, it simply didn't work against Pacquiao nor Margarito.
The change in style should have come as no surprise to anyone when Pacquiao started getting the better of the exchanges.
dude they were showing marg's handwraps before the fight
I don't know I just don't want to admit cause first and foremost I"m a boxing fan, and that was a fantastic fight but we will never know it's just speculation ya know, like cotto said only him and his camp know the truth and we will never find out.
The reason his confidence left suddenly was because when he was exchanging with Pac in the centre of the ring he got flattened with a punch he didnt see coming.
He knew he had to change tactics, otherwise he would have taken other punches that he couldnt see if he exchanged.
been watching cotto for a long time and it was sad but I am proud to be a cotto fan dude fought everybody. I will say this might not be accepted by a lot of cotto fans, but after the pac fight now I really don't think margarito cheated cause of the comparisons of cottos face. just my opinion
war cotto

Manny had a great gameplan, knew all Cotto bad habits, and executed his game to perfection.
Cotto...well he doesnt have a trainer, no gameplan other than THINKING he was the stronger puncher and bigger man, not ready for Pac's movement, too slow on his feet to catch up, drops his left before the jab....on top of that, he had no plan B after realizing Manny was at least as strong as him and was not hurt by his punches. Didnt know what to do after the 4th.

He looked mentally fukked midway through the fight.
It was sort of sad to see. While I was rooting for Pacquiao, I'm a fan of Cotto as well, and I wanted him to give a better account of himself toward the end.
I just hope he can bounce back.
exactly how i felt ...

i hope cotto CAN and WILL get a new trainer and manager
and if he does i hope it helps him
. but the trauma he is suffering must be unexplainable.. the reason why i keep saying trauma is because i am currently studyin psychology...we were just learnin about trauma.. and the first thing that popped into my mind was miguel and his fight with margarito and pac
but anywayz.. it'll be sad if he decides to retire.. miguel was something special before all this mess.. you cant deny that... plus he is a good guy and a very humble dude.
I disagree, his Welter-weight speaks volumes, if he was mentally weak he wouldn't have fought Clottey or Mosley or even Pacquiao.
I ain't mean goin into the fight Caz, I mean as of now, after it's over.
Cotto's far from done, but he's gonna have to hire a manager to get him a real trainer and corner. He can't be running the camp himself..."that was a joke and he paid for it with his ass this time." He didn't lose to margo, he got cheated, but he lost to pack for several reasons...
1- his corner (biggest reason)
2- his trainer (:friday:)
3- weight drained somewhat no power stay at 147 for the rematch ; )
4- training camp run by Cotto is a big no, no. Cotto needs professionals not friends run'n shit...
If he does those things he'll be back better than ever, if he doesn't he'll just
be another boxer who shined at one time.
