Fusarium_jimini Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) Round 4: Out for the fourth, and cracking stuff so far. Living up to the pre-fight billing. Cotto starting well in this session, looking strong and powerful again. He looked in big trouble in rounds two and three, has recovered admirably here. Manny knows he's in a fight here. Cotto blocks a Pacquiao uppercut. Flurry of punches from Pacquiao - his speed really hurting Cotto now. But Miguel comes back. Blasting away to the body and trying to slow down Manny. Pacquiao lying on the ropes and takes a right. Manny nods to acknowledge the fact - he's under pressure here. Now Pacquiao hits back and COTTO IS DOWN AGAIN - this time he's definitely hurt. Final seconds of the fourth. What a round, what a fight. Cotto survives to the bell, but down for the second round in a row. Looks a little stunned in the corner. It was a cracking Pacquiao left on the counter that did the damage as Cotto waded recklessly forward. 10-9 Pacquiao round for me, ahead 39-36 on my card. 9:04 Twitter KevinI: Rd 4: Cotto goes down again from left and was wobbly late. It was a great round w back n forth. Pac 10-8. My card 39-35 Pac after 4 #boxingSaturday November 14, 2009 9:04 KevinI9:04 Twitter DanWetzel: Round 4 had three different swings of momentum. This is an all time classic #boxingSaturday November 14, 2009 9:04 DanWetzel9:04 Twitter mrogersyahoo: Another extraordinary round - Pac was in trouble on ropes but then floored Cotto with a huge uppercut 10-8 Pacman #boxing Edited November 15, 2009 by Fusarium_jimini Quote Link to comment

Fusarium_jimini Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) Round 5: Out for the fifth and the straight left again tags Cotto early - Miguel holds. That second knockdown has definitely taken something out of Cotto. Manny takes a breather and waits for his next opportunity to strike. Pacquiao showing blazing hand speed - launches an attack and then he darts out. Cracking uppercut from Cotto as Manny lies on the ropes. Would be some comeback if he could take this one now after those two knockdowns. Manny again on top as the bell goes. Another Pacquiao round for me - 49-45. 9:04 Twitter DanWetzel: Let's see what Cotto has left.

Fusarium_jimini Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) Round 6: Approaching the halfway stage now, and Cotto continues his recovery from those two knockdowns. Boxing better in this round. Manny using those blistering flurries more sparingly now. Is the pace at this weight beginning to tell? Remember he's heavier than ever before. Just as I say that Manny goes on the attack again - two-handed assault, best punch a left that lands. Right from Manny lands and he's looking confident again - Cotto hits back with a left counter though. Cracking action yet again. Nice body shot from Manny. Every so often you just start to think he's tiring just a little, but then he clicks into gear again. Cotto on the back foot constantly now and hit by a massive left. Manny smiles and Miguel in trouble. But then as the bell goes Cotto hits back with a right. Manny smiles - he knows he has his man in trouble. Another Pacquiao round - now leads 59-54 on my card. 9:11 Twitter DanWetzel: Pac Man combos rattle Cotto in Round 6. Manny again forcing the action #boxingSaturday November 14, 2009 9:11 DanWetzel9:12 Twitter mrogersyahoo: No strategy from Santiago,just encouragement. Cotto's face puffing. Round 6 to Pac, he leads by 4 #boxingSaturday November 14, 2009 9:12 mrogersyahoo9:12 Twitter DanWetzel: Cotto almost knocked down again at end of 6, stays up from ropes, then hits Manny. The back and forth is incredible. Manny 10-9 #boxingSaturday November 14, 2009 9:12 DanWetzel9:12 Twitter KevinI: Rd 6: #Cotto has trouble with #Pacquaio speed. Manny wobbles Cotto late. Pacquiao round 10-9. I have it 58-54 for Manny 4-2 #boxing Edited November 15, 2009 by Fusarium_jimini Quote Link to comment

Fusarium_jimini Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) Round 7: Into the second half of a cracking fight, living up to everything we hoped for. Pacquiao starts well again - lovely uppercut from Manny and lefts and rights simply a blur from the Filipino icon. Left and a right land and Miguel is flat-footed and a sitting duck at the moment. Too easy to hit, just can't live with the pace Pacquiao is setting. Right-left combination from Manny again land and then he darts out. Pacquiao on the front foot almost constantly now while Cotto is in retreat. Cotto lands a jab as he tries desperately to regain a foothold in this fight. Almost impossible though against the speed and amazingly the power of Pacquiao even at welterweight. Manny misses with a big left as the bell goes, but bags another round. I have it 69-63 now. 9:13 Twitter DanWetzel: Round 7 Huge rights by Manny. Cotto taking big punishment. Appears to be slowing a little. #boxingSaturday November 14, 2009 9:13 DanWetzel9:16 Twitter mrogersyahoo: Another round for Pac, is Cotto fading? Pace has slowed a little, it had to... #boxingSaturday November 14, 2009 9:16 mrogersyahoo9:16 Twitter DanWetzel: Cotto's left eye showing serious wear and tear. Manny was the agressor.

Fusarium_jimini Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) Round 8: Kenny Bayless in the Cotto corner between rounds, assessing the damage to the battered Puerto Rican. Not a pretty picture, that's for sure. Manny starts the eighth looking good again - left and a right land early. Cotto then tries to jab and control the pace. Something he hasn't been able to do so far. Nice jabs from Cotto in this session, but his meaningful work is intermittent. He's trying now to outbox Cotto - he started out trying to overpower him. How the tables have turned. He's the puncher, hunting Miguel down constantly. Cotto again on the back foot as Pacquiao peppers him, lovely left lands again. Now Cotto on the ropes as Manny goes to the body. Cotto lands a couple of shots, but no real pop in those shots now. Must be tired and weakened by the sheer weight of Manny's punches. Twitter mrogersyahoo: Cotto needs more lateral movement, getting picked off #boxingSaturday November 14, 2009 9:17 mrogersyahoo9:20 Twitter DanWetzel: Manny controlling the fight now. 8 was his best round. Cotto's face is badly swollen. #boxing Manny 10-9Saturday November 14, 2009 9:20 DanWetzel9:20 Twitter KevinI: Rd 8 #Pacquiao 10-9 This fight may not go much longer. Speed is killing Cotto who has slowed noticeably 78-72 Manny #boxingSaturday November 14, 2009 9:20 KevinI9:21 Twitter DanWetzel: Cotto's strength advantage has waned. Manny steady with his speed. Cotto needs to get something going, pronto #boxingSaturday November 14, 2009 9:21 DanWetzel9:21 Twitter mrogersyahoo: Round 8 for Pac and Cotto is hurting. A brave effort but he's running out of ideas #boxing Edited November 15, 2009 by Fusarium_jimini Quote Link to comment
