Serious question on Cotto's body attack against Pacquiao.

[Doctor_Tenma]

When Pacquiao allowed Cotto to attack away; why didn't Cotto throw a lead straight right hand to the mid section? Why was Cotto so content on attacking the sides, knowing that Pacquiao's elbows were well tucked in? I mean seriously, didn't this hit anyone?

That's just how Cotto rolls.

Because hes not a smart fighter who can adjust on the fly..........

Different story here. Pacquiao's mid section was exposed.

Cause he's so set in his ways.

I have seen every fight Cotto has ever been in multiple times.

I have NEVER seen him throw a straight right to the body. It's a punch he's just not comfortable throwing.

What bothers me more is when Pac was on the ropes, I didn't know why he didn't turn southpaw and shoot a straight left through Pac's gloves, right down the pipe. Cotto's got a decent straight left from the southpaw stance, really nailed Mosley with it a bunch.

He's really frustrating sometimes.

I was wondering about this too, I guess he just wasn't thinking. We didn't get to see the hard body punching Cotto was known for in the past. He seemed to try and concentrate on consistency instead of quality when Pac allowed him to throw.

He can adjust, but it doesn't work very well against all his high caliber opponents.

some puerto rican conspiracist said, it was on the contract for cotto not to hit pac in the mid section

Yes he is, really really is sometimes.

Honestly this is one of the dumbest plans that I have ever seen Cotto execute.

Someone really needed a coach for this fight!
