Pacman don't fight the same as he did when he fought Marquez the first time so Calderon don't know what he is talking about.

Fui de los muchos que de primera intención pensé que la pelea contra Manny Pacquiao sería bien difícil para Miguel Cotto.


Pero, después de analizar de varias peleas de Pacquiao, llegué a la conclusión de que Miguel Cotto debe ganar la pelea por nocaut.

Si se va a decisión, será bien apretada, porque Pacquiao es un boxeador que tira mucho golpe y te puede robar los ataques en los primeros asaltos.


Pero lo que la mayoría no entiende es que Pacquiao realmente no es un tipo que boxea. Lo que pasa es que tira golpes como un loco descontrolado. Sin embargo, Cotto tiene la habilidad de mantener la calma y buscar su momento. No se quita y va hacia adelante.

Ésa va a ser la clave para Cotto: que no pierda la calma y vaya a su paso, hasta que lo logre conectar.

Solamente hay que mirar la primera pelea de Pacquiao contra Juan Manuel Márquez, quien es un peleador que tiene un boxeo mucho más fino que el púgil filipino, y miren lo que pasó. Pacquiao lo tiró tres veces en el primer asalto, pero Márquez lo fue trabajando hasta que la pelea terminó en un empate.

Cotto no sólo tiene ese boxeo fino, sino que además lleva una gran ventaja en cuanto al peso.


Manny Pacquiao subirá el día de la pelea en 147 libras, mientras que Miguel Cotto subirá como en 158 o 160 libras.

Así que Manny le va a dar a Miguel, pero no lo va a poder lastimar. Va a ser muy difícil.

Mucha gente está dejándose llevar por lo que sucedió en las peleas en las últimas peleas de Cotto en las 140 libras.

La realidad es que ya no hacía el peso adecuadamente. Hacía mucho sacrificio y no tenía la fortaleza para aguantar los palos.

En las 147 libras, Cotto ha recibido castigo, pero lo ha asimilado sin problemas, no se ha caído y, con todo lo que ha recibido, ha echado hacia adelante con éxito.

"I was among the many who thought that at first glance fight against Manny Pacquiao would be very difficult for Miguel Cotto. But, after analyzing several Pacquiao fights, I concluded that Miguel Cotto should win the fight by knockout. If it goes to a decision, it will be tight, because Pacquiao is a fighter who throws a lot of blows and he can steal the attacks in the early rounds. But what most do not understand is that Pacquiao is not really a boxing guy. What happens is that he starts throwing punches like a madman, out of control. However, Cotto has the ability to stay calm and find his moments. He does not let go and keeps going forward. That will be the key to Cotto: do not lose your temper and go at your step, until you connect. One needs only to watch the first fight of Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez, who is a fighter which has much fine boxing technique that the Filipino boxer, and look what happened. Pacquiao threw him three times in the first assault, but Marquez kept working until the fight ended in a draw. Cotto not only has that fine boxing skill but also has a big advantage in weight. Manny Pacquiao will go on the day of the fight at 147 pounds, while Miguel Cotto should go up like in 158 or 160 pounds. So Manny is going to hit Miguel, but not going to hurt him. It will be very difficult.

Many people are carried away by what happened in the recent fights Cotto at 140 pounds. The reality is that the weight was no longer adequate. It was a lot of sacrifice and he did not have the strength to take the punches. At 147 pounds, Cotto has been punished, but he has has absorbed them without problems, has not fallen and, with everything he has received, he has been successful. "

Thanks for the translation. Im not the biggest Calderon fight because he disses cats all the time and sweats Cotto but Im not going to rip him for these comments. We have to remember that Calderon is a master boxer and I think all master boxers feel superior to Pac in that regard and think that alot of the stuff he does is amtureish because they themselves are so techniqaly sound
