Pacquiao-Cotto FACE OFF! FINALE!!!!

[tantaran69]

Problem is you have to have good footwork to have good balance and have fast feet. If you have bad footwork then you wont have any balance despite being fast.

U got a point, so lets do this, lets call it Da special pac's footwork then, LOL!!

lol agreed. It's his own style that baffles the **** out of trainers like roger mayweather.

I have goosebumps. Cotto looks the thicker stronger man obviously, but Pacquiao is an animal. November 14th will be great. Two humble, exciting, nice guys battling for the welterweight championship? Doesn't get much better than that.

****k!!!!!!!! Cant wait for Nov 14th!!!!!

[KILLA RIGHT]

You were the first dumbass to bring up floyd...i can't ***en wait

[shyboirank#1]

thats what i hate about this fight not enough fire power they are too nice to eachother one that doesnt even talk cotto and the other you cant even understand

Manny certainly has great movement but I wouldn't necessarily equate that with footwork. He is constantly off-balance with shots and I think Cotto is going to eat him alive with that jab, I wouldn't be surprised if Cotto knocks down Manny with a jab as he did with Gomez and more importantly Clottey. Clottey weighs in on fight night around 165-170, he's almost 30 pounds bigger than Pacman and look what Cotto did when he caught him off-balance. Put Manny in there whose smaller all around, certainly doesn't have the chin Clottey does, and is off-balance constantly. Roach mentioned that the left hook would be easy to neutralize, that could very well be true but he's never said a word about that jab. That should be his biggest worry in this fight, not size, weight, or any punch other than that jab.

As for the vid... why is this not a full fledged 30 min episode on HBO? I mean really, have this as your final 24/7 episode or show it for free on HBO and PPV right before the fight even if it only brings in 1000 new viewers thats 50k you just made off those "free" shows. It gives a quick glimpse and each fighter from a personality stand point, add in a brief highlight vid of each fighter I'm sure there'd be people who'd buy from just a impulse buy and I'm 99.9% sure they won't be disappointed.

Good point, but Pac does have pretty good in and out movement now. He's improved a lot. The foot in the air thing is a good point, he does do that. He just overextends himself to deliver his left hand in a quicker, more devastating motion. Not many fighters can take advantage of that mistake though.

Yup but you have to be way faster than him because he recovers very quickly. I do not know yet if Cotto's timing is on par with Jmm.

It's awesome because while they are respectful of each other, you can see it on their faces that when the bell rings for round 1, they are going to give each other everything they have.

IMO, pac's movement is really unorthodox not off-balance. If off-balance, he would have no power in those punches. He has hurt,stunned, and KD opponents before on "off-balance" shots.
