    Things that stand out in your mind for last night

    Things that stand out in your mind for last night. I know there are obvious things like Manny being able to walk Cotto down and take his best shots but one thing that Manny did what i liked was........... when he threw the left hand he was hitting Cotto which i predicted he would but Cotto actually did better than i thought he would of trying to avoid a few of them, he would lean away from them or pivot away, that said Manny did something very smart, he would throw the left hand and if he missed instead of pulling out he would throw an uppercut with the same hand and then throw another left hand that Cotto found difficult to avoid.

    Manny's uppercut was on point and its probably his most developed punch alongside his right hook.

    His uppercut was lethal, Cotto never saw it in the fourth round. When I saw that, I said to myself, "This man Pacquiao is unreal". He is just so damn unpredictable.

      i'm still in disbelief at what I saw yesterday. Who would have ever thought that Pac would walked Cotto down? Amazing.

        Yeah the irony is, is that imo Cotto seemed to fight with his hands closer together last night in an effort to stop himself from being nailed with uppercuts which he has been very susceptible to in recent fights, but Many still managed to nail him with it quite a few times.

          Very few, I figured it would happen late in the fight as it did. But I never expected him to drop Cotto so quickly and dominate from then on.

            The second kd stands in my mind because prior to that I thought Cotto was gaining steam. The fight was different after that.

            Manny took Cotto's best punch very well.

            Cotto improved his defensive head movement and he still got tagged because Manny's so good.

              What I wasn't expecting was PAC allowing Cotto to hit him, standing in front of Cotto. I mean, in all the workout vids of PAC, the whole deal was about lateral movement and moving his head, but that was virtually non-existent in the early rounds.

                That's how I saw the fight ending to be honest. Cotto can't stand up to that kind of punishment for 12 rounds. I was shocked by the second kd because of how it happened so sudden.

                  that pac is one of the most underrated fighters. he fools opponents who think they're bigger and more powerful.

                  the last time i saw him play possum was the larios fight. roach gave him a hairdryer for that.

                    I dont think anyone, including Manny really expected Cotto to get beat down like that. That performance is unbelieveable. Way to go Pac. But I gotta go with my boy Mosley to beat him
