Cotto's Trainer Shocked By Pacquiao's Power/Chin

[boxingfan_123]

I like Cottos personality over Hattons, when ever Hatton lost he would be a big baby and talk about retirement. When ever Cotto lost, he said he'll come back better.

hes a good sport and shows class wish they all would be like that

dangerous game by pacman

Everybody who knows cotto will believed that what pacman did in his fight taunting miguel to hit him more is really a dangerous game.Yet the pacman succeeded in the psywar against miguel.Firstly, cotto feels that pacman can handle his power,secondly,he knows after 3rd round and fourth round that de la hoya is lying about the punching power of pacman(though many dont believe golden boy upon seeing his disfigured face after the 7th round) that he was forced to put more defense than offense in that fight.Unfortunately that is a mistake considering pacman's ability to attack in all angles that you need to hurt him to stop attacking.Yet, my hat off to miguel cotto who shows good sportmanship after the fight and accepted his defeat and more admiration to pacman.The two respect each other because they are both gentleman and they dont need to resort to dirty tactics/words to attract boxing fans..I salute the two warriors,and will remain as as one of their fans,whether they win or lose.

As a pacfan I was more shocked. Whe he stood there in front of miguel and took that nasty uppercut I was shouting but pac didn't budge, he even egged cotto to punch some more like cotto was some weak sparring partner. LOL

I just can't believe this version of Pacquiao, I thought he'd get knocked out cold after seeing him take that solid uppercut that almost beheaded him.

he just stood there...damnit! he just stood there.

He said he pretended not getting hurt, true. but you can't deny how powerful those shots were. It may have hurt, a jab would hurt... but it has nothing to really stagger Pacquiao, which until now I find unbelievable.

I'll watch the fight again, everyday for a week. hopefully I'd get to believe what I just saw that night.

Joe Santiago, the young trainer of Miguel Cotto, was shocked with the power of WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao. Santiago watched Pacquiao batter his fighter for twelve rounds last Saturday in Las Vegas. He knew coming in that Pacquiao was very fast but he had no idea that the Filipino fighter was so strong. He admits that he underestimated Pacquiao's ability to take a strong punch at 147. [details]

what kind of a trainer underestimates a foe?

i think miguel cotto should replace him...

[Bad Boy Dazza]

Roach was right about Cotto's trainer. It wasn't just **** talk.

[TRAVI$]

I think part of the reason for Pacs ability to take the big shots, was Roach's choice of big hitting sparring partners.

I think all of us where shocked than Manny took those punches from Cotto. I'm not surprised of Manny's power, i knew he can hurt Cotto.

[Ray*]

Am not shocked at all, I laugh when people picked Cotto to beat him especially non-peurto rican people, If you see how Pac and cotto's last three fight went then you would definitely pick pac over cotto. You cant hurt what you cant see and i have been saying the speed factor would be too much for cotto.

i was just as shocked with pac's chin. pac walked through some of cotto's best shots and kept comin. but i'v been sayin for a couple months now that peolpe were underestimating pac's power. and in cotto's corner they were not givin him any advice or anything, they were just like " are u ok " and **** like that. like they counld'nt believe what was happening

[MJ406]

even in the post fight interview with Brian Kenny Pac's face showed some visable markings

but fight night, Manny didn't look hurt what so ever.
