WAR COTTO!!!!!

Can't wait till tonight's fight. Should be a great one. I think Cotto is getting the W over Pac-man tonight. Both are great fighters but I think Cotto's power may be too much for Manny.

Manny. People talk about his speed like its the only thing he has. He has power to go with it.

You can watch the entire fight here.

Commentary in japanese though.

I just finished watching it. Great fight. I will only say I don't agree with the way it ended.

I really liked Cotto's crisp punches in the first few rounds (he was scoring big), but PAC just has more speed and throws more punches

Since everyone's probably seen the fight by now, I'd say that it was an absolutely good stoppage. The bout was over. Give Cotto props; his corner wanted to stop the fight. When he came in after the 11th round, they told him to "keep running." He's the one who wanted to continue. Boxing (and I'd say fighting in general) is a day to day thing. That day, Pacman was clearly the better boxer--the punch count was something like 40-8 landed in favor of Pac for the last rounds). Guys get brain damage or killed in boxing matches after too many hits. Throwing in the towel (by the fighter or the corner) is the only way to end the bout except for a ref stoppage, and I think that's what should have happened.

As for Pac's greatness. Well, for his era, there's no one better I can think of. That is probably changing as we speak, but for now, I gotta give the man much respect. I don't know if there is a deep enough pool of talent --right now-- to change that. But, that's what will sell Mayweather-Pacquiao.
