What shocks me most is that, Pacquiao had NO respect for Cottos power.

[str8balln]

His defense was really good in the fight, kept his hands up, picking off shots with his arms and gloves etc., he didn't rely too much on his reflexes and speed.

cant agree with you more man.

this was the first time i saw him put his arms up and defend like that.

I think Pacquiao did say he got hurt in the fight when he backed up to the ropes, he just tried to play it off like it didn't hurt, he said it during the press conference. His chin is still very good though.

manny always does that saying his opponent is strong that he was hurt etc thats respect by the man, hes never known to thrash talk or disrespect his foe especially after a win. but im not saying he was not hurt, he was but to admit them really make him a class act.

how do you know? It was never even tested. Pathetic Cotto barely landed anything on it. Pac was too quick.

brah have you seen pacquiao's face in the post fight conference?

dude's a wreck. he has a bandage wrapped around his ear & his face was all messed up.

[Idgas]

Thats true that those took confidence away from Cotto. But its also true that Pac did take damage from those shots. Anytime someone's head snaps the brain takes damage, period. Cotto just didn't have enough.

oh yea pac definitely felt the power and took damage. pac's ear by the end of the fight shows the evidence of what kind of power pac was taking in. at the post fight conference, pac said he was hurt but he didn't show it.

[DonTaseMeBrah]

Just look at that. Pac really looks unscathed there...

If Pac's face is considered "messed uP" Cotto's is deformed.


YOu obviously don't train because it doesn't take much to separate the cartilage in the ear to cause a cauliflower.

cotto did some damage

on the contrary, manny's chin was actually tested a number of times in this fight. cotto was quite accurate with his punches in the first half of the fight. pac was hit flush in various exchanges but didn't budge and kept on moving forward. that's how good his chin was.

try watching the fight again..

[onechance87]

Yeah manny chin is pretty good.

settle down flip.

Im aware cotto got damaged more. im a pac fan. just trying to make the point that pacquiao didnt get away unscathed & that he was hit.
