cotto's corner grade: F

[shogunn]

Roach was only telling the truth when he said Santiago was too green for a mega fight like this...

But Santiago took it personally and tried to sneak in a verbal jab, Roach had him even backing up at the weigh in


truth be told, santiago isnt really a trainer, and like Roach said, Cotto was the head of the camp. Miguel said himself Santiago is good at knowing his role, which looks like is just pad work, and maybe motivating. Santiago wouldnt be telling Cotto what mistakes he's making, or what he needs to adjust on. Instead, he was just doing horrible pad work and being a yes man.

And like I said before, their pad work was atrocious. They had a certain cadence that was very predicable and it looked like Cotto was used to it. Santiago always hovered over cotto when he was throwing hooks inentionally missing, only problem is Manny wouldnt do the same. The fault is ultimately Cotto's for picking his team. He needs a real trainer, someone to tell it like it is, and not a "sports nutritionist like Santiago.

not really...cotto stopped throwing the jab...

i give pac all the credit he deserves, but he didnt take away ****...he just landed inside bombs well after cotto stopped throwing the jab...

watch the fight again if you want...because thats what happened...

I agree here, Not to discredit Pac Man this is a huge win for him, very impressive, but I was wondering why Cotto stoped throwing his jab it was clearly his most effective punch. Not that it would of changed the outcome of the fight but It would of been closer.

excuse me....... what?????

Mark my word, Dundee will never, ever pick Pacquiao, even if he's against a tomato can. Pacman made him look like he doesn't know anything about boxing. He picked Oscar (obviously), picked Hatton again ( if poker has a steam pick, that's his steam pick), and now Cotto, he's running out of picks and time.

There's no question that Dundee is one of the great trainers of all time, but he's way past his prime in picking fights, specially if Pacman is on it...

For once, having Jack Loew in the corner might have helped.

"Double the jab Miguel!"
