Pac/Cotto Live Fight Thread

[hackey]

That was a shockingly bad fight. Chavez was awful. As for Foreman, he seemed pretty handy and had a good gameplan, although seemed a bit over enthusiastic at some points.

Getting excited now, Cotto for a win in 8/9.

Time for battle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go Cooootttttoooooo!!!!!

[Spicoli]

Are we up,have paced a path into the carpet waiting for opening bell.Cotto might time him like a clock between volleys...good scrap

[Saddo]

Amazing fight....

manny pac is something else WOW

[Kirkland Laing]

Spectacular by Manny but Mayweather still beats him. $150 million dollar fight. Ref hyped it by stopping it like that.

[Kel]

It's gotta be Pac Floyd then. FULL CREDIT TO PAC!

I don't know how he does it, his speed is totally key. Brilliant performance

[OumaFan]

I've been saying for a while that Manny is by far the toughest fight out there for Floyd and fuck he was better than I expected. That is a bad dude.

show some compasion, it wasnt a premature stoppage by the ref it was infact 2 rds too late. cottos coach was too green to realize that his fighter is being tortured.

i hope there is no excuse this time around, cotto was game and landed many power punches. pac was just better than cotto! pac even played with cottos gameplan.

I guess the excuse will be both delahoya and cotto were weight drained. Cotto's face looked just as cut up and bruised after this fight as it was after the margarito fight.

[fan johnny]

Wow!

I can't believe how ineffective Cotto was from the middle rounds on. Pacquiao looked like he wanted Cotto to go toe to toe and Cotto just wouldn't do it. An absolute awesome performance by Pacquiao.

[Manuel "Chubby" Medina]

Pacquiao the freak of nature once again showin us wat he is made of...der is no doubt in my mind no "he hasnt fought a true welter" or "can he handle a true welters power" non of that Pacman is a beast all credit due to him he juzz earned himself a fan.
Well done.

A spectacular display and Manny deserves full props. Cotto had his steam taken out by the two knockdowns and was out of ideas after the 4th.

The fight should have been stopped a bit sooner than it was because Cotto seemed to only be in survival mode towards the end and was landing nothing more than an occasional jab.

Pacqiaou can take a shot at WW and make sure he lands 3 or 4 make in return. His punches seem to cause a lot more damage too. I still don't think Manny is a big puncher at the weight, but his speed and timing is electric. He keeps hacking away and eventually the corner/ref needs to step in.

I felt bad for Cotto, his corners advice was seriously erratic and seldom constructive. He tried his best, but there were echoes of Margarito towards the end. His face gets busted up almost every fight now. He was very swollen in the post fight interview.

Cotto should take a long break and if he is to fight again, maybe fight the winner of Berto/Mosley or give Clottey a remach. Pac seems to be directed towards Mayweather. Hopefully money isn't too much of a problem. There will be a lot of it so I don't see any issue with it being 50/50, especially as Pac is the one now fighting proper WW's.

before hand i want to congratulate manny for the victory. and also i want to congratulate cotto for being his best. both fighters made this day a day to remember in the history of boxing.

i dont think the ref hyped it man.. i think if anything he let them go more than he was supposed to. i remember yelling at cottos corner when they asked him for one more... they should realize that it was a done deal by the 9th round. props for cotto for fighting like a real man and being graceful in defeat but thats when an experienced corner comes in handy. they were so focus on winning they forgot the well being and health of their fighter.
