In terms of punch speed I thought they were equal, the difference was pacs better footwork in terms of getting outside Cottos lead leg. The second knockdown pretty much sealed it. Cotto knew he wouldn't be able to fully open up from that point on.

Re: Well, I called it. But credit to Cotto.
i think i saw a few people claiming that pac has bad footwork....
i was scared for pac when he let cotto punch him. i was asking myself why pac was eggin cotto to trap him on the ropes. cotto is a scary dude he punches hard, probably the strongest pac tasted so far.
in a way letting cotto punch him atleast proved that he can take the punch and maybe so haters will have one less excuse as to why pac won.
i cant ask for more from pac!
btw what does a boxer do after a fight? rest? go to the hospital? not for pac, an hour after the bout he went immediately to his concert! damn dude is full of energy!
Re: Well, I called it. But credit to Cotto.
Full credit for both guys but in the end pacman is the man standing. I couldn't ask for more. Hands down to Manny Pacquiao. Again he shut the f uck Up again his critics. Pacquiao your ATG no doubt.

For sure, he is an ATG but, he is fighting another next (i hope) and this time Pac will fall short of being able to drag Mayweather into a brawl and will be countered heavily throughout and stopped around rounds 8 or 9 IMO.Originally Posted by Intazzz

Re: Well, I called it. But credit to Cotto.
Pac's footwork is absolutely incredible, and really that is what enables him to throw so many solid punches, undetected if you like. He's thrown three or four punches at your from three or four diff angles and then gets out before you have chances to get in position for a response. Uppercut, right, left, right hook, all from a different standing point, crazy.

pacquiao's a phenom. he looked his technical-best in this fight.
Re: Well, I called it. But credit to Cotto.
Miguel Cotto is all heart, my only hope is that he can recover and that he learned something from this fight "You can't walk through everyone". Cotto is fearless and it hurts him sometimes, but it has also helped him, like in the Torres fight.
Manny Pacquiao is world class and I think titles in 7 different weight classes is one of the most impressive feats in boxing history. I am not sure if the 145 weight limit had any affect mental or physical on Cotto, but Pacquiao put on a hell of a show and just like Cotto had no excuses, I make no excuses for Pacquiao, that was very impressive considering the only other guy to beat Cotto probably had loaded gloves when he did it.
I am not sure HOW Floyd Mayweather Jr will beat Pacquiao but I figure he will...I would love nothing more than Floyd to get sparked out but he's so good and slick on defense.

Re: Well, I called it. But credit to Cotto.
pac indeed prepared for the body punches cotto was going to feed him. as he said to jimmy kimmel that using a stick [beating his abs, sides] as part of his training was a mind conditioning.. anticipating pain in any given chances..
congrats to both fighters..
Cunt of a Mod. Fact.

Hey Im a prediction king too!
Cotto got a hiding a real hiding, gutsy man.
I like how Manny has some sort of 'tracer type of a cross' that follows the path of the target as he opens up, it gives it room and as he moves his punch goes to where someones head finishes even if their head is moving in closer to Manny he creates the room to deal with it totally.
