Originally posted by tesla_power View PostIMO, this is more of a problem for pac. If he ever forget this, he would move to his right and would play on the stronger side of Cotto (cotto's left). In the DLH, he was so much faster than dlh ... that when pac moved to his right, he was already out of reach by dlh's left. Dlh was then forced to use his right which is almost useless for him. Cotto is deceptively slow because of his measured approach but in reality when he strikes ... he is quite fast.

In order for Pac to win he will have to be busy and not be able to become a still target. Combination punching sneaking a hard left at times will be the key for him

What no...
...Cotto's too big that midget will get KTFO! war cotto puneta posts?
a lot of sensible posts sofar. for me it would be Cotto's jab that would make or break the fight for him. thrown properly, it can disrupt Pac's rythm, without having to match his output. As for how to avoid being turned, naturally Cotto would have to circle left too.
What I'm actually worried about is if Cotto catches Pac with a good hook when Manny tries to duck under a punch like he did with Hatton.
With Manny's speed, movement and pop, and Cotto, even though he's less agile than Pac, his guile and size will give a good us fight fans a great fight while it lasts.

i would assume he is good at it, but can he keep up all night long?

Cotto will cut the ring and throw the left hook. If pacquiao move to cotto's right then cotto will throw the straight right. Pa
i'm talking here about effective foot movements, where punches are based on. again, i am not disrespecting your man. i just think that he'll be turned time and time and again by pac whether moving to the left or to the right.
you should watch pac's training video on how he plans to counter cotto's left hook with a blow that land on the latter's gut.

Punch-wise, Pac's gonna land his fists first before Cotto does. Straight and looping lefts will find their mark. Uppercuts, ditto.
That'll be the main plot right there.
I think Brits will understand if I compare Pac to a football striker turning a defender through superior footwork and feints.
