Cotto Will Stop Pacquiao Before Eight, Says Evangelista

[UnifiedD]

Uncle/former trainer Evangelista Cotto is picking his nephew, WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto, to stop Manny Pacquiao before the eight round of Saturday's bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Evangelista and Miguel have not spoken since their argument on April 8 that led to a brawl at the Bairoa gym in Caguas, Puerto Rico. Miguel fired Evangelista and replaced by Joe Santiago. Evangelista sued Miguel in July for $7.5 million dollars, with claims of money owed and serious injuries suffered during their April scuffle. [details]

hopefully this is a step in the direction of them putting that bull**** behind them.....and moving on..family is the most important thang

I completely agree with you.

^^^**** fam...he ****in destroyed his Jaguar!!! War Cotto whoop his azz again!!!

LOl!!! Come on D. Jaguars are made everyday in England, and the dealership in PR always has a great stock of cars. Fam is a one of production, there is no replacement.

I believe the jab disrupts Pacman's flow & Cotto just cruises along,outboxing & slugging whenever he feels like it to a UD!!

^^^Common sense a guy with the speed and power of Mosley's caliber is supposed to stop a guy that doesn't have anything spectacular in his arsenal!!!

Unfortunately, that guy with nothing spectacular in his arsenal does every thing very, very well. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

material **** can be insured and replaced..family cant...remember that homie

common sense: an elite WW is supposed to stop a former 106 lber

Dude get off this train already...Pacquaio/Cotto is as close to even as it can get at this level. When I was 16 I weighed 103 lbs and wrestled and boxed...what does the weight 14 years (manny) ago have to do with today

You would think you would apply common sense too before asking others to do so.

My guess is that the 2 sides will eventually agree on a financial settlement and somewhere down the line, they'll be back on speaking terms. But I think Miguel and Evangelista are done professionally. Cotto is more likely to hire another trainer than bring his uncle back. But I guess anything could happen.

Definitely, blood is thicker than water. It is a prediction by one who cannot ignore a blood relationship with cotto. It is not interesting to note. It is a different story if ***** pick cotto to win. Evangelista maybe want cotto to win so that cotto can pay him the money cotto alegedly owed to him.

True story, when I first played FNR4 I picked Cotto first. Cotto's trainer/cornerman looks just like Evangelisto. I thought the game each boxers trainer in it (I was like damn thats hot). But then I saw that half the boxers have the same guy. LOL
