Who's ready for the fight of the year? I'm pretty excited. I think Pacman will take it by KO in the eighth.
 
I would love to see it...... $59 :confused::confused::confused::confused:

I'm pissed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:grumpy::grumpy::grumpy::grumpy:
 
It is pretty steep. You would think that for that price they would put together a better undercard. Absolutely horrendous.
 
Pacman TKO's Cotto in the 12th. Good fight, but not fight of the year.

Cotto is a warrior.
 
well it was a good fight once pacman knock cotto he never recover but has a big heart and did a lot better than hotton or de la hoya, lets see floyd vrs pacman:D
 
I predicted Cotto (a great fighter too) would make it 12 rounds, but that was all part of Team Pacquiao's strategy. Watching 24-7 you can see Coach Roach put his all into the training (studying videos even during the off time). The thing about Manny is that he does what Roach tells him to do between rounds. Manny's a great listener, humble, all around true person who I believe deserves to be where he is at. The only thing that will stop Pacquiao now is age. Personally I think he should take three maybe four more fights then hang it up. You can tell Roach is on a decline too. Not much, but I do notice some change in Roach since Manny fought Hatton. I think Manny and Roach depend a lot on each other. Is there anyone who has a chance at stopping the Pacman? Sugar Shane? Floyd Jr?
 
Speaking of the undercards. The second fight was decent. I was pleased with the outcome of Yuri.

Agreed. The difference maker in this fight IMO was the disparity in ability of the men in the corner. Roach is one of the best in the business, and let's just say that Cotto deserved far more than he got from his trainer. That guy was nearly useless and didn't give any help whatsoever when it came to adapting and making adjustments.

But then again, I guess you could say that Cotto brought it upon himself. He's the one who chose the trainer.

I think your right. There's a flip side to that coin too, though not in the Cotto case, but you also have great corner men and fighters who can't adapt in the ring between rounds that is fighters who don't listen. Hatton was one of those. Floyd Sr. (arrogant as he is) is a good trainer, but as soon as Hatton stepped in the ring against Manny, he went back to his old ways; stiff and brawling with no strategy. I think Cotto would have done better with a more committed trainer.
