    Had a day to soak this in, and I'm a little bothered...

    I give Pac all the credit in the world, however, as a Cotto fan, last night was a combination of admiring Pac Man's astonishing skills, but leaving dissapointed that I didn't see Manny vs. the TRUE Cotto. Before everyone starts throwing darts at me for using those dreaded words (wait for it, here it comes), am I alone in the belief Cotto was weight drained? Not to the extent of DLH, but I have eyes, and he looked weak on the last episode of 24/7, as well as the weigh in. I think once a physically and mentally damaged Cotto enters the ring with a man who is on FIRE like Pac, and feels the blitz, he is served up on a silver platter. I kept saying to my friend next to me, "Once the gameplan is out the window, just FIGHT the bastard. You're the bigger man!" I mean backpedaling for the last 4 rounds? Pacquiao clapping his gloves together and inviting COTTO to swing away? Cotto's punches having ZERO zip? Anyone else feel this was way out of sorts? Again, I'm not making excuses, Pac deserved the win, but I'm just saying......

    P.S. Was HBO implying anything w/ the Pac Man progression in weight and physique?

        i was wavering back and forth about placing real money on cotto, b/c the odds were 2.5 to 1.....

        my cousin called me up, and said don't do it. he said he saw the last episode of 24/7, and cotto was "drained."

        not making excuses, because manny's the better fighter, but my cousin did point out the same thing you did....

        manny's a ****in monster tho.

              No one is ever weight-drained until they lose lol. Every fighter is weight-drained, otherwise they would just fight at their walk around weights.

                How the **** did he look drained? He was pumping away like normal. He was the exact same as the clottey and margarito fights. He couldn't handle the speed and got slowly overwhelmed.

                  2 additional pounds were not going to stop the speed, angles and power of Mannys fists making love to Miguels face.

                  Pac, is just that mother ****er.
