Salinas, Puerto Rico. His body is somewhat exhausted from the workload of the initial training.
No wonder.
From the moment that the trainer Phil Landman rejoined the corner of Miguel Cotto, working toward his date with Manny Pacquiao has been arduous.
"The muscles are a little resentful, but that's normal at this time. We worked hard as ever. Phil always puts me to work hard to get ready for the fight," Cotto said after completing a routine in the Juan Evangelista Venegas gym at the Olympic Lodge.
The welterweight champion (147 pounds) of the World Boxing Organization (WBO) moved to Salinas after an initial stage which was designed by Landman with the idea of establishing a base in the face of the most intense phase of training.
In addition to floor exercises, Cotto yesterday made his second sparring with boxer Frankie Santos.
"As far as sparring is concerned, they are sparring a little to let go of the hands and to establish a base, for when we move to Tampa, Florida," he said.
A "Ring" Bigger
Cotto, on the other hand, downplayed the possibility that the duel against Filipino star within a ring is size 24 feet by 24 feet, which regularly supports a mobile boxer.
"Pacquiao is not a better boxer than Miguel Cotto," he said. "I have no problems with the size of the ring."
Also, Joe Santiago, Cotto's trainer said you want your ward fit the size of the flooring as soon as possible. "A large ring favors Manny as it moves a lot, but the strong man in this fight is Miguel," he said.

You call that sparring???? It doesnt even look like he's doin anythin but building up a good sweat 4 the sake of it. He was throwing combos with no purpose behind them besides cardio against a right hander that was slow as hell who would do nothing to help prepare him for paquiao stylewise.Comment
