How will Cotto beat Pac or vice versa? (note: this post is not meant in anyway shape or form to arouse flaming)
For Cotto over Pac: I think Cotto will have to target Pacs body early of course, but at the same time he will have to be extremely cautious and just get a feel for pacs speed. He will need to stick to the jab, test his own reflexes and movement and get comfortable before he even utilizes any meaningful punches. Hes just gonna jab jab jab until he gets comfortable to pacs speed, then around round 3 or 4 he'll start hitting the body and wooing the crowd with some short uppercuts and left hooks up top after hitting the body first. But before he starts uppercutting and left hooking, I think hes going to throw lots of lead right hands and really surprise pac. He shouldn't throw any wide or trading shots, unless they're to the body. I see a very competitive, close fight through rounds 4-10 with Cotto working the body and lots of short shots upstairs and alot of lead rights. Around 11-12 I see cotto wearing down heavily and having to back peddle and box and avoid pacquiao to pull off a decision.
For Pacquiao over Cotto: Pac will come out blazing about 2 min into the first round testing Cotto's resolve early on as he always does. He will come in, **** **** with the right hook-straight left hand and jump out. I also see him doing a switcheroo and ****ing cotto to the body with the right hook and then leaping to his right to set up the left straight. From rounds 1-2 hes just quickly moving in n out with his usual little compact combos, confusing cotto and making him realize he's too fast. through rounds 3-9 pac rips cottos face up tearing open his lip, and left eye. Through these rounds he will either Ko cotto by having him on the ropes and tearing him up causing the ref to step in or stop the fight due to cuts. If he doesn't ko him then I see cotto basically running backwards taking punishment til the final bell.
Notes:
1. These plans are assuming that Pacquiao doesn't blitz and KO cotto right away within the first couples rounds like he did Hatton due to 2 things: Cottos weak chin and the possibility of weight drain.
2. I myself as a boxing fan, Want Cotto to win, WAR COTTO!!!
3. My actual prediction of the fight: Pac beats Cotto either to quick knockout like hatton or on cuts from midfight on.
