Why was Manny so bruised up?

[Spacey1991]

He didn't take much punishment, and right after the stoppage he looked fine... then in the interviews he looked really bruised up? I was surprised by that...

Great win for Manny though...

[adobostreak]

those interviews about who he wants to fight next really got to him

[P.WILL]

Cotto was actually land good punches on him, i think the left hook ****ed Pacquiaos right ear up
i still cant believe cotto seemed done after the 5th round
it lies in Mayweathers hands to dispose of Pacquiao now or will he just be another victim??????

Actually, you can see during the fight that Manny's right ear was huge.

He had to get it drained after the fight.

Cotto did land some good, hard shots on him early.

[THRILLAinmanila]

You have to remember that up to Round 6, Cotto was pretty much landing
those jabs and power punches on Manny as well.

IMHO this was the toughest fight Manny was in in terms of
the power that he had to take from his opponent.

Props to Cotto for coming in prepared and strong, unlike
many others who said he was damaged goods after the
Margarito fight.

Cotto came in as a legitimate elite welterweight on fight night.
And one more thing that impressed me was his heart.
He never quit eventhough his corner asked him several times
if he wanted to. They just didn't have the balls to throw in the towel
as they gave in to their proud warrior's wish to fight til the end

[Spacey1991]

It would be a great fight, I know that. I guess you may be right about that... didn't look like he landed much though and he looked fine after the fight until the press conference.

cotto landed some good shots. rumors says that pac broke his eardrum

[Pugilistic™]

Cotto landed quite a few hard punches early on and Cotto is a big puncher.

Cotto has always been known for being able to mark his opponents up.

Pacquiao is the exact same.

[BrushMyCage]

some rumors said that pac is 100% past prime and damaged goods right now. and thats why floyd jr is eager to fight him

[Kevin Jesus]

That was all make-up to make it seem like Cotto gave him a tough fight. He's partying now and his face is as good as new, he was just here eating rice and beans with me and my friends.
