Something everyone seems to have missed about last night.

Pacquiao's ability to run the pace of the fight, slow and steady for the first minute of the round and slowly cranking up the pace with most of the hard shotrs in the last minute.

Also i was very impressed with the way Manny covered up and let Cotto waste energy on the peeka boo guard both against the ropes and mid ring early in rounds.

The KD in round four won him the fight and broke Cotto's spirit but even without that Manny's tactics would have won the fight.

freddie roach is the guy mostly responsible for those things u pointed out... roach is such a great mentor...

Without a receptive student, being a good mentor doesn't mean squat, so BOTH are responsible.

pac is a fighter who studies his opponent even in the middle of the ring.

hes gifted and doesnt rely on pre fight strategy. he knows that every opponent

has a hidden strategy, which is what he breaks down.
