Calderon Awaits Cotto's Call To Spar For Pacquiao Bout

[eltoro]

Good for cotto. Not A big fan at all of cotto but Im rooting for him to whoop Pac. Cotto needs to condition himself to last the 12 rounds with pac and go to a UD. Pressure is what can beat pac, constant pressure. He can't fight back while hes being pushed back. Cotto needs to study the whoopin that Morales gave pac in their first fight. But be careful cotto.

Pac's first fight with Morales was too long ago and he has since improved greatly as a fighter. Cotto needs to study his more recent fights in order to come up with a good gameplan. I'd say his last 4 fights.

Gato Figueroa is better sparring for this fight than Ivan.

WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto concedes that the speed of Filipino boxing hero and the world’s pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao is his only concern. [details]

The only thing I have to take care of is his speed. – cotto.
Cotto is in for a big surprise if that is what he’s thinking.

btw, iron boy myt kiss the canvass with mayol, who is taller and a real puncher.

what kind of advise is that...??!
that morales fyt was 7 fyts ago!!
it was followed by eric 1&2, barerra 2, jmm 2, ddiaz, oscar & ricky.
manny has improved tremendously in all departments....you didn't notice, huh!

I don't get why the catch-weight makes any difference.

They should have set a rehydration weight if anything.

All this means is Cotto has to spend an extra 20 minutes in the sauna before weigh-in, then still rehydrates to 160 on fight night.

thats a good choice

there is a kid out here in LA that Oscar used mostly for his fight with Manny, Mookie Pendarvis, that mimicked Manny pretty well from what I have been told.

talking bout speed.....
here is one to make cotto shudder more::

"De La Hoya who has faced guys such as Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Shane Mosley, both known for blistering handspeed, did not pick either fighter as having the fastest hands... instead De La Hoya picked everyone's favorite Filipino fighter, Manny Pacquiao.

De La Hoya tells Ring Magazine that the quickest hands he has faced goes to Manny Pacquiao."

what I dont get is that gato has worked with cotto before but I dont think they have called on him yet, not sure if he's been out after the Bailey fight.
