i think he is serious. only if Cotto doesnt run. i just hope it wont happen because i dont want to hear anymore excuses from PacMan haters or FLoyds nuthuggers. i want to see Manny as a human being as possible.

“FIRST ROUND KNOCKOUT” - ROACH

MANDALUYONG CITY -- “If Cotto doesn't run, we'll knock him out in the first round.”


This was Freddie Roach's bold declaration minutes before Manny Pacquiao started his training session Wednesday afternoon at Gerry Penalosa's Gym in Mandaluyong City.

Pacquiao is winding down his training here in the Philippines and will leave for the U.S this weekend.

I asked Roach if he had any regrets coming to the Philippines to train Pacquiao after everything that happened.

“No regrets. We continued to train despite the typhoons. The aftermath was tragic of course, all those people being flooded. But we continued to train despite the weather and we don't melt when hit with water.” Roach exuded cool confidence as he spoke.

Was this the first time Manny used the swimming pool during training?

“We've been trying to make him swim for eight years This is the first time he tried it.”

Did Pacquiao like it?

“No, He swallowed a lot of water and didn't like it.” Roach replied.

There were local and American T.V crews waiting for Pacquiao. After going through his usual warm-ups and stretching, Pacquiao went through his afternoon sparring sparring session which was closed to the media. He sparred for ten rounds against Danny Escobar, Shawn Porter and Jose Luis Castillo. Pacquiao once again showed his amazing stamina as he hit speed bag after his sparring session.

In 23 days, Pacquiao will face WBO welterweight champ Miguel Cotto of Puerto Rico for a historic seventh world crown.

Yo does Freddie take shots of alcohol while training pacman to slow down his parkinsons while he's training manny!!I think so and maybe the shots he taking is making him make these crazy statements aswell!! Dead as*!

From an another article:

Roach laughed when asked to react on his sweeping “first-round” statement.

“I was just playing around,” he was quoted as saying.

cotto has a good chin, so i doubt it will be in the 1st round.

it took marg 11 rounds to stop cotto, and marg had a granite chin and was taking hard ass punches.

manny cant take those punches as well as marg did, so i see this fight ending w/ a 10 round KO for manny.

this is such a simple assessment. Like a caveman made it up.

Margarito took 11 rounds because Cotto could see nearly every one of his slow ass punches land. It was a slow beating and Cotto still wasn't unconscious by the end.

Pacquiao has the speed to catch Cotto flush. When you get hit flush by a punch you don't see, it doesn't matter how tough you are. Roberto Duran got put to sleep by Thomas Hearns, yet went 15 with Hagler. It's not as simple as "he could take this much damage" like a video game with stats or something.

Cotto is so slow compared to Pacquiao I see this fight going no other way other than Pacquiao by knockout. Ricky Hatton was even a lot faster than Cotto, much more reckless but speed wise he was much faster. Pacquiao made Hatton look slow. Hatton even looked quick against Mayweather and that was at 147.

More I think about it is the more I think Cotto is going to f@ck Pacquiao up something bad. People are underrating Cotto's speed, I know that he can really get his shots off unless he plants his feet down but I think people are underrating the pressure he can impose.

Using Hatton as basis of how the fight will end up isn't wise as Cotto is a completely different fighter.

People? On November 14, Pacquiao will enter the ring not the people; and as Pacquiao commented, he considers Cotto his toughest fight to date. He respects him.

I'm not talking about Pacquiao's approach to the fight, I'm talking about people's predictions.

ok...first of all..if cotto doesnt run???why would cotto run from a smaller guy??pacman is the one that needs to stay on his toes...i seriously hope they dont think pacman is the bull in this fight..pacman needs to punch and move in and out..cause he wont have to look for cotto..cotto will be coming str8 towards him

thats the reason Roach said Pacman may KO Cotto in the first round. Manny definitely has a power to do it.

when Manny win against Cotto, i wanna see him fighting Mosley. Mayweather vs Manny wouldnt be as good as Pac vs Cotto or Pac vs Mosley. as a boxing fan i wanna see a great fight.
