Miguel Cotto-Manny Pacquiao: 24/7 Pt. 3 Reviewed

[jetgeomcx]

Obviously, Pac was just pulling Kimmel's leg when he said PacMan was his dog. So why are you taking it so seriously? I guess intelligence is a prerequisite to having a sense of humor.

manny knows the "pacman" game allryt.
and yes, manny has a dog named 'pacman'.
trully, some people can't see humor in witty remarks....

Of course they watered down the episodes because they didn't invest any money in this fight. What are you an idiot? Pac and Cotto are both great in the ring but their personalities are boring, they can't promote a fight like Mayweather. HBO has money invested in this, it's just too bad they can't draw mainstream audiences.

a fish is caught in its own mouth.
don't expose yourself here.....gtfoh !

Pacquaio is a warrior in the ring but a doofus outside. On the Kimmel Show, question, "Do you even know who PacMan is?" Pac's response,"Duh, ahoo, ahoo, my dog?" I guess if your a Pac fan that was cute.

Don't be an cunnthole, pac probably only knows 50 english words and he has a middle school education

Damn Pull, you be going in on posters who say anything about Pac.
I don't think what he posted should have been addressed by calling
homie a **** hole? The video game "Pacman" has been around for
DECADES!!!!! I'm surprised no one in his camp or other wise didn't tell
him where it came from. So yeah, it is a lil aukward that he wouldn't
know that.

I think Manny answered the he knows the video game Pacman after he said that he named his dog as Pacman.

Pullcounter - don't underestimate the guy if he cannot speak english fluently, it doesn't mean that he only knows 50 english words, Manny not only improves his boxing skills but also his english literacy. Have you noticed his interview after the fight? Normally, with other non-english speaking boxers they put an interpreter beside but Pac doesn't need it, coz he understands english.

It's a battle of strength and speed, then again, it's not that simple.

In terms of their fighting weight and their natural weight, MAC is 2 weight classes bigger than Pac. He is much stronger, consistently putting down much bigger opponents with sledgehammer hooks and a ramrod jab. He's shown that knockout power throughout his career.

Aside from a vulnerability to uppercuts, MAC has also shown no discernible weaknesses that his opponents could take advantage of. And he has underrated boxing skills. Review his fights with name opponents noted for their speed. He outboxed and outpunched them all. Yet more than the strength and his boxing skills, Cotto has shown the tenacity of a warrior who would not be denied.

But Pac won't just take Cotto's punches and lie down. The man has well over 50 fights, many of them against world champion fighters in 6 different weight classes. On the elite level, he's clearly been exposed to and has solved more fighting styles than Cotto. And if reports are true, he has enough pop at the weight, enough to bring down that heavy-hitting junior middleweight sparring partner of his a couple of times.

So while Cotto has a great chance to end things with his punches, I think it is more likely that Pac's featherweight-level speed and punch output, his footwork and awkward angles, his conditioning, those explosive combinations, and Roach's fight strategy will see him through this fight.

I'll walk the talk and bet all my measly points on that.

Any takers?

Make sense analysis.

So Floyd is more of an actor than a boxer, huh?!

24/7 could be so much better regardless of who is fighting

24/7 is pretty trash when you think about what it could be, including Mayweather episodes. As a black person, I don't find Mayweather cooning out on tv to be funny.

But anyways, this 24/7 could be very interesting if they just knew what storylines to use.

For Cotto:

They could talk about the Margarito fight, did he use wraps or not? how they feel about him being reinstated?

How did the Margarito loss make Puerto Ricans on the island feel?

If he beats Pac how will they view him on the island in terms of legacy?

Show old fights of his against Malignaggi, Judah, and Mosley, all fighters who were faster than him, but still lost

Does a good big man always beat a good little man?

The split with his uncle

Will Manny's speed beat Cotto's power? Bring in the Marquez fights to show how Manny couldn't really outspeed him to an easy victory and why not since Marquez is slower than Cotto

How will Manny deal with Cotto's pressure? Cotto has never lost to a smaller man and has destroyed all of them. Manny will be smaller come fight night and he doesn't have the ability to back Cotto up with pressure like Margs or Clottey

As for Pac:

Obviously the historical implications

The catchweight

How do people now look at the de la Hoya and Hatton fights now that the hype has died down?

There is so much for them to talk about yet they talk about nothing. Hell they could have some respected boxing writers on there to give their opinions so that we won't have to hear biased answers from people in their camps all the time. Go talk to fans on the street, something. They could've created real drama and conveyed how much of a pick em fight this really is.

What do you think its looking like in terms of ppv numbers? not looking good i think

I read somewhere that Bob Arum is predicting more than 2.2 million PPV for this fight.

[bluetuazon]

i didnt like when cotto looked at his friends lips and said "i kiss you"

i had a weird feeling towards that too...hmmmmm...

cut the guy some slack...he aint american...so english is still foreign to him...u cant expect him to be fluent...but props to him for trying his very best..

Floyd sales ppv's, and he's the best fighter of generation to boot. Don't be mad that this ppv will not sale up to it's potential. I'm just reiterating what the author is saying.
