Pacman vs Cotto

As the fight for the welterweight title dubbed "Firepower" has ended... I just have a few thoughts about it. Sure Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao won it, but I still have to give a round of applause to Miguel Cotto. Cotto is a very great boxer, I'll give him that. But Manny is just a BEAST!
Manny is too fast... he's getting to almost the same level as Mayweather Jr... and that's saying a lot! As he gains weight, he also becomes even more powerful and his punches are very ferocious. Manny battles the weight limits no matter how many pounds he has to gain OR lose. When he has a fight, he gets in the zone and there's no stopping him.
I know Miguel Cotto is a very powerful boxer, but he lacks the speed and combinations like Pacquiao. He did seem to be faster and quicker in this fight. I think the only way he could have defeated Manny is if he gets a dead-on hit or he changes his fighting technique to be a counter-puncher, like Marquez.
Even though Manny won the fight.. I still wasn't too impressed by it. I think that they just fought Cotto at his most vulnerable stage. Cotto lost his VERY FIRST match against Margarito... and THAT definitely broke him down. Plus Cotto had to drop a few pounds meaning he'd get tired quicker. BUT Cotto lasted pretty long in the ring. Twelve rounds is very astonishing considering Pacman's recent wins ended at Round 2 against Ricky "Hitman" Hatton and Round 7 against Oscar "The Golden Boy" De La Hoya. Good fight Miguel!

Manny is now going down in history as the first ever boxer to win titles in 7 different weight classes. I'm really proud to be a filipino...FINALLY!!! (jk). Manny is a hero to the entire country and I wish I was back home to celebrate and drink San Miguel Beer and munch on pulutan... sorry guys.. it's a filipino thing ;)
