COTTO VS PACQUIAO

Tomorrow is a big day for it the fight of two of the most respected boxers in this generation, Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto, as they fight their brains out in the four-cornered ring in MGM grand hotel. This is a title match, Miguel Cotto defends his belt and while Manny Pacquiao plans to receive his 7 division title.

Many analyst are making their comments and wild guess on who is going to win the fight. In my opinion, both boxers are good boxers and deserve to win. But in this fight it is early to predict a win either both sides for the reason of, both boxers trained for this match and I don't believe that one will give up for the others victory.

I saw some movie clips of Cotto and Pacquiao. Both boxers are excellent fighters, they victoriously fought several opponents as they climb the ladder of success in boxing. Based on my observation, Miguel Cotto is a body puncher. Most of his fight that he won are body punches that ended his opponents in a convincing manner. He has a good record and his lost was even a controversial one. Miguel Cotto is a silent operator and can end a match in 2 minutes in round one. He has a strong hands, most of his opponents would testify to that. Manny Pacquiao is a speed and power combination. This southpaw fighter knows how to use both hands for his advantage. He destroyed several Mexican fighters and famous Oscar Dela Hoya. Manny Pacquiao right now is the favorite boxer. Bets in Las Vegas shows that many are placing their bets on Manny Pacquiao rather than Miguel Cotto.
