I voted no..... cotto looked healthy in the weigh-in & had great 'pop' in the 1st round... just broken down with speed & power shots from PAC....PAC has always had a great chin in the featherweight divisions - just was never tested in the welterweights, until now...
Don't see him fighting margarito because still think margarito would win. I changed my Avatar out of respect to Pacquiao. He proved me wrong. Good job CHAMP !!
Yea... i see your point. Margarito is a High-risk, but high reward type of matchup.... but revenue wise, it makes sense financially. But a win over margarito might bring back the cotto of 'old'......
average fight? c'mon...... power punch stats say it all.. how the hell can 276/560 (49%) power punches landed by pacquiao be boring???
if anything, i think it became boring because the fight should have been stopped earlier, perhaps end of round 9 or 10, but pac deserved the tko anyway. props to cotto for hanging in tho
it's not only that he hits hard, but he uses angles very well - as a result, his punches are very razor-like..... PAC also puts all his calve muscles into most of his power shots which is still underrated
