after watching the first 24/7 i'd say thats a pretty big 'if'. Sounds like the pac camp is already sowing the seeds for an excuse if they lose, which is not good at all. I had my money very firmly on pac before this, but im not as sure now. Then again it could just be some creative editing to dramatise the fight a little as a lot of people (especially casual fans) see this as a pretty clear cut pacquiao win
People will see on the 14th that it will likely be Cotto pinned against the ropes much like DLH was in the corner with Pac throwing 5 punch combos after rd 7 or 8. Cotto will be backpeddling to avoid Pac's punches until he starts to tire. Cotto will be trying to pin Manny but he will spin around as soon as his back hits the ropes leaving Cotto against the ropes and then it'll be a 3 or 4 punch combo and slip away, back to the center of the ring. Cotto was pinned against Margs for much of the fight, while Pac was slipping and spinning Hatton as soon as his back hit the ropes- should be the same kind of strategy here as Cotto and Hatton are both up-close pressure fighters.
