Freddie Roach Hints at Strategy To Beat Miguel Cotto

[RisAri0]

pacman should not turn conventional.. for what? he's never done it in his fights so why should he now? he's a great southpaw

[Championart]

Roach is trying to use reverse psychology. He would want nothing more than Cotto being a counter puncher instead of stalking and walking down manny. Cotto doesn't fight well backwards and is not a counter punching fighter. Why would he suddenly do this against Pac when pac is clearly the faster puncher and punches in bunches. Cotto stalk pac into submission.

[GRUSTLER]

Manny is fast and has a lil more pop in his punches but if he can't
KO or hurt Cotto bad enough then he is going to lose. Manny definitely
has a shot to win because he is a very good fighter but like I always
say, Manny is not defensive enough to keep Cotto in the middle of
the ring all night. Manny is a speed demon who likes to overwhelm
his opponents with speed and punch output. Cotto doesn't have
the best defense either that's why this fight is going to come down
to who can take who pressure and punches more. Manny is not
a technically sound boxer as everyone makes him out to be and
neither is Cotto but I think Cotto should be able to pull this one
off.

It was something that was shown in training leading up to the Hatton fight, he was working on throwing combinations and stuff out of the orthodox stance but obviously he never had to use it. I just thought that since Cotto is quite open to straight right hands, Roach would have Pacquiao switch stances once in a while to land it since they were already working on it, it would catch Cotto off guard because I don't think he would be expecting it and Roach likes to do this kind of stuff to throw Pacquiao's opponents off.

pac can throw right hook and straight without switching stance.

pac can throw right hook and straight without switching stance.

A straight right hand out of a southpaw stance is a jab, there's more power in the right hand if he switches.

[6Bound]

Manny hits hard no doubt..But i dont even think he hits as hard as Ricardo Torres @140..And even if he did RT's power wasnt enough to put Cotto away so.

if cotto can get hurt by corley & torres at 140, pac can hurt him.

Almost every southpaw he's faced cotto has been hurt. Pac just crushed a longtime 140 pound champion in ricky so he can hurt cotto.
