No strategy will save you Pacman.

I kinda expect Pacquiao to turn orthodox sometime during the fight and try landing some straight right hands.

[George W Bush]

**** Pac is boring in interviews.

Manny Pacquiao turns right hnded and he gets flattend!!!

Thats not a good idea at all. Pac should juts be concetrating in boxing, anything about standing and trading and trying to fight like he normlly does, will get him KTFO quicker!

Interesting. I would expect Manny to mainly stick with the gameplan he's had in his last few fights, move, move catch Cotto from angles with fast potshots and combos and stay off the ropes. Also very twitchy and lively with lots of headmovement and constant foot movement.

But that turning orthodox is interesting, is there any record of Manny switchhitting?

Hmmm. Interesting. Any reason why? Is it to combat the stance switching of Cotto?

[Freddy Krueger]

Pacquiaos strategy, hit and don't get hit. Cottos strategy, time and hit.

i don't think cotto counterpunching is a smart idea

It would leave him more open to left hooks but if he times it right and does it sporadically, he could catch Cotto off guard and confuse him for enough time to land what he wants to land. Whether him doing it will actually become successful or not who know? But I just expect him to try it once or twice since Cotto is open to straight right hands.

And you know, Roach keeps saying that Cotto's best punch is the left hook, well it is to the body but up top Cotto's best punch is the straight right hand more so than the left hook IMO.
