Pac/DLH, Cotto/Clottey replay notes

[shadeyfizzle]

Pacquiao

* Delahoya was able to impose his size to drive Pac into a corner on several occasions but did absolutely nothing to keep him there

* Anytime Oscar went for a body shot it was met with a hook to the face from Pac

* DLH had his biggest success when roughhousing Pac and turning it into an ugly fight.

* Pacquiao did not drop his right to throw left anywhere near as much as Joe Santiago claimed in 24/7

Cotto

* Cotto dropped Clottey with a JAB!!! sure he was off balance but it serves as a reminder of Cotto's power and that it wont take much to put a serious hurt on Pac

* Clottey had faster hands and it gave Cotto serious problems

* Cotto has tremendous patience. No matter what he never strayed too far from the gameplan

* Cotto backtracking the last few rounds wasnt so much a sign of him being hurt as much as it was a sign of him being TIRED.



Anyone else have anything to add relevant to the Pac-Cotto fight??

i agree with the dlh success when he turned it ugly

- hatton was also able to push pac to the ropes

Cotto's biggest problem will be dealing with the rotating movements of Pac.
- Pac is very good at rotating sideways after combinations and delivering body shots. And Cotto has a bad habit of planting too firmly {For Power} when delivering his blows which at time will give Pac those side body shots.

Pac's biggest problem is keeping Cotto from forcing him into a corner or against the ropes.
- If this happens, Cotto will punish Pac with some serious power shots and that is going to shorten the fight big time. Pac must stay off the ropes at all costs.

Another factor is that Cotto rarely holds when he gets hurt.
- Cotto has to hold if he gets into trouble, because he opens up for the uppercut whenever he gets in that situation.
- Pac has learned how to hold very well {Checkout Hatton fight} and he will need that skill if he gets cornered.
