Cotto-Pac - Who wins? Fact.

[JazMerkin]

I see I am in disagreement with Jazmerkin. He is my posting antithesis we disagree on EVERYTHING and he like me is a true internet warrior who argues his case relentlessly and posts obessively.

We are like Butcher Bill and the Reverend in Gangs of New York, worthy adverseries

Well, I'm not on here quite as relentlessly now that I've got a job, but when I do post, I make sure I know what I'm talking about, although generally I stay out of threads in Let's Get It On unless I'm very well informed on it, hence why I've mostly stayed out of the Hall of Fame 'gays in the army' thread.

The irony is Bilbo, I often do agree with you when it comes to boxing matters, I see us more like Al Pacino & Robert De Niro in Heat.

On this point though, I'll explain why I'm going for Manny. It's not because I think he's unbeatable, it's more down to Cotto. I'm pretty sure he's not the same fighter he was before, I think he's slightly more gunshy & his timing has gone a bit. Moreover, I really do think he'll need to KO Pac to get a win. Cotto being the fighter he is, he will give away at least 4-5 rounds in the fight, plus he is liable to fight dirty. Now whilst he might be able to get away with that in New York against Clottey, Mosley & Judah (I know he KO'd Zab), he won't get any of the benefits against Pacquiao. He will lose some rounds & has to be careful not to lose points 'accidentally' low-blowing & hip-tossing Pac. I think if Pacquiao gets at least 4 rounds he will win the fight, because Cotto will leave some too close as he always does & this time in Vegas with a Mayweather fight on the horizon, he won't get the breaks he did with Clottey in New York.

So yeah Pac has to survive to the bell, which I think he will & he'll be the new champ. If it's close, we'll then have many new posters joining to express their outrage at the decision & how they're never gonna watch boxing again etc etc. Meanwhile the minions of Xadu will all pile in here to make our lives unbearable & ratchet up support for Mayweather ahead of their fight.

Fact.

One thing is for sure, I will refrain from posting in this forum after the fight else I be charged of being a 'minion of Xadu'.

My mind says Cotto will be too big for Pac just like when my mind said that Hatton and DLH will be too big for Pac.

My heart says, Pac will TKO Cotto in the 3rd round (before the 4th round) if Cotto engages Pac early.

I need to have a bet on this fight. This fight is too big not to make a bet on it.

This is historic for the Philippines and even for the boxing world. Seven titles in different weight categories is historic and I need to be part of this history in my own little way.

Name your bet and it's as good as approved as long as there is no conflict with other bettors. First come, first served.

MY BOLD BET: PAC will win this fight. Pac by TKO if Cotto engages Pac. Pac by UD if Cotto runs.

I'd gladly bet with you but, unfortunately, we agree; though I don't think Pacquiao will stop Cotto before the third round. However there is zero chance Cotto runs from Pacquiao.

I'm willing to bet that Pac doesn't stop Cotto before the 4th round, but you'd have to be insane to take that.

LOL. That's why I said, " my heart says". Hehehe. I'm still thinking if I will take your bet regarding the " before the 4th round" condition. It's insanity to have that bet so for the moment, I'll be looking for other bettors. For the moment, my bet stands: Pac wins this fight .
