Roach wants tougher low blow rule for Pacquiao-Cotto

[Spray_resistant]

I can underdstand Roach's concern, a low blow can change the momentum of the fight. Cotto is a great body puncher but from time to time he does punch people in the balls on purpose! I don't know how anybody can make a excuse for that, it aint the same as excessive clinching.

A shot to the balls takes the wind out of you and makes you weak in the knees. Roach has been around the sport for years and can tell that Cotto does it on purpose, just because the Cotto stans wont admit it dont mean it aint true.

Intentional shots to the balls are only allowed in street fights, in boxing its considered cheating. Cotto is the bigger and stronger fighter he shouldn't have to resort to punching Pac in the balls to win the fight.

My issue is Pac doesn't deserve special consideration just because he is smaller. He is a grown man and knows what he is getting into. This fight should be treated no different than any other fight in regards to fouls.

Yeah, your right, no one should get special treatment, that's why Roach is making sure to remind Cotto that he's not in his safe haven aka Madison Square Garden and that the ref will not be Joe Cortez!

Who does Roach think he is? He should worry about his fighter's work, that is his job and let the ref do his. Lol at him thinking the rules should be changed just for Pac. Its at the refs discretion whether someone should be DQ'd or not.

Thats what you call S-M-A-R-T ass, now who ever the referee is, will be attentive to Cotto's too many dirty tricks. Remember the wrestling judo whatever he did to Clottey?

team Cotto takes other important things for granted . They still puzzled how margacheato wrapped his hand that possibly cause his only loss. Thats what you get for having a weak/unintelligent team.

Fine I agree with a non-Rican or Pinyo ref here for neutrality sake, but don't want Cotto to hesitate to throw body shots because he will automatically be DQ'd if 1 goes low......

Roch is delusional. When was the last official lowblow Cotto did? The Judah fight, that was a long time ago.

[oc9979]

disqualification is not going to win Pacquiao a belt

[oc9979]

next thing roach is going to request that Cotto be handcuffed to the rope for the first 4 rounds

[madsweeney]

Pac better be wearing a cup

Cotto is a nut ****er. He bailed himself out of trouble with Judah several times with those tactics. And I'm sure he'll do it again when Pacquiao begins to eat him up.
