Here is my translation:
I was one of the many people that at first thought that the fight against Manny Pacquiao would be very tough for Miguel Cotto. But after analyzing various Pacquiao fights, I came to the conclusion that Miguel Cotto should win by knockout.
If it goes to a decision, it will be very close, because Pacquiao is a boxer that throws a lot of punches and his attacks can rob you of the early rounds.
But what the majority of people do not understand is that Pacquiao is really not a guy that boxes. What happens is he throws punches like a crazy, uncontrollable guy. However, Cotto has the ability to keep his calm and find his moment. He doesn't quit and he moves on forward.
That will be the key for Cotto: that he doesn't lose his cool and goes his own way, until he is able to connect.
One only has to look at Pacquiao's fight against Juan Manuel Marquez, who is a fighter that has much better boxing skill than Manny, and watch what happened. Pacquiao knocked him down three times in the first round, but Marquez was working him until the fight ended in a draw.
Cotto not only has that boxing skill, but also takes with him a big advantage in weight.
Manny will go up to 147 pounds on the day of the fight, while Miguel Cotto will go up to 158 or 160 pounds.
So Manny is going to hit Miguel, but he is not going to be able to hurt him. It is going to be very hard.
A lot of people are being influenced by what happened in Cotto's last fights at 140 lbs.
The reality is that he couldn't adequately make the weight anymore. He sacrificed a lot and he didn't have the strength to take the blows(I'm not sure about the last three words but you probably get the gist of it.)
At 147 lbs, Cotto has received punishment, but has taken it with no problem, has not fallen, and with all that he has received, has continued on with success.
There you go bro! Spanish speakers feel free to correct me if some of my translation is off.
I think some of us are forgetting that Cotto did not have a real trainer for the Clottey fight. However, he did show a slight improvement in his defense and still showed discipline in the fight. Now imagine if Cotto had a REAL trainer who can can REALLY help him improve his skills, offensively and defensively.
That should be his next step if he wants to fight quicker fighters like Pacquiao and Mayweather, who will pick him off because of his vulnerability. Get a real trainer. If he does, and Cotto humbles himself to take that trainer's instructions, and still keeps in mind the skills that he already possesses, I don't see anyone beating him.
