Haven't even pressed on the link but that's what I like to hear from Pacquiao.

But here's the thing that makes the fight more interesting for us. Both fighters are going to be making "adjustments" and preparing for each others styles, so we get to watch what the last Pac and the last Cotto will do in their upcoming bout. I think it's going to be really interesting to see what adjustments both fighter have made, and how well they will be able to execute them in the ring against each other.

So technically speaking, this is going to be a feature filled night that will make you want to watch the fight more than once, for sure, no matter how it ends up. May the best man win!

Manny Pacquiao Speaks on Training Schedule

"Yes Cotto is training for one month already. I'm just about to start this week, there is still time."

“Don't worry, we have plenty of time and we have enough. Everything is under control.”

"If I exceed eight weeks of training, I am somewhat overtrained, my conditioning is not beautiful during the fight."

"If its under the eight weeks, my conditioning is also not good. That's why the training should always be eight weeks before the fight. "

"When in training, we will study Cotto well. While we are training, we will study every day his style. If there's something that should be done, the techniques."


Freddie Roach, Trainer

"Anyone who thinks this fight is easy is a fool. He's going to be at his best."

“I've been studying this guy, watching his fights, I have a good strategy in mind and we just have to implement it now.”

"I'm a little pissed off to be honest with you about the lack of communication."


Michael Koncz, Manager

“There are plans for Manny, everything is on schedule. Manny started jogging on Monday, he will start training in Baguio for one week after the presscon.”

“We will fly out the 9th and from then we wait for Manny to decide where to set up the camp.”

“With regards to strategy and training, yes, Roach is the trainer and we don’t know boxing, he's right there. So we leave it up to him and Manny to fix those things.”


Buboy Fernandez, Assistant Trainer

"We're not really that delayed. Of course, all the trainers are concerned because Cotto is a unique boxer. So its very normal for all the trainers to be worried."

"For now Im not really that worried. That last time we talked he said just go up there in Baguio so our conversation was positive. Whats important is we start within this week."

"Right now Manny is finishing up with all the shootings and tapings. Then next week, its guaranteed that well start training."

"When he gets to it he will. They still have to do the press conferences. After that, theyll all go down here altogether and all the team pacquiao will be in Baguio."

"Thats what our champ said, it mannys decision that counts . We, the trainers, were prepared for big fights like this, you know? And Manny knows that."

"It all depends on the results we see in Baguio. If there are any distraction, then for sure we'll find another place."

It would be interesting how the adjustments play out.

Cotto has many flaws.. That I myself see. Cotto tends to bounce back to back.. (left to right) and with his hands low after he lands a blow.. Wether its a jab or not. I know Roach sees this and Cotto needs to stop it.

Look at Cotto Vs Malinaggi.. I think it was round 7.. Where Paulie caught Cotto while he was doing that which led him to stagger, in which many thought that Cotto was hurt.

As for defense penetration. Cotto is prone to uppercuts, and I see Manny actually landing some of these which will surprise others. Fight will be close and action packed.. No one can make mistakes, but if anyone is gonna make mistakes it will be Cotto. He needs to run like he never ran before, because Manny is going to make him work for this win. No fatigue will be accepted.

by now Roach knows how to capitalize on every flaw Cotto has. Manny will soon as well.

Not a big deal really. Maybe Manny could have been working on some strength training, that probably would have been beneficial but he will be ready. What may affect him more is the time off and the fact that he hasnt had a fight go much distance or recently face a competitive foe.
