PacMan's Corner

Recommended Posts

Round 9: Cotto in the corner having a cut over his left eye worked on. Cotton wool buds up his nose in a bid to stop the bleeding there. He's been taken apart so far here by another Pacquiao masterclass. Simply scintillating so far. Roach said 1,9 or 10 this time - will he be right? Better start to this round from Cotto. Pacquiao unloads with Cotto on the ropes as Bayless takes a very close look at what's unfolding before his eyes. Surely the end is close - another big left from Pacquiao lands and somehow Cotto stayed on his feet. Cotto retreating, dancing backwards as Manny steams forward. Miguel tries to hold for the first time. Another big left and the combinations are flying in. Cotto makes it to the bell but will his corner allow him to come out for round 10? Looks like he's taken enough to me.

Round 10: Cotto spent much of the break between rounds spitting out blood, but out he comes for the 10th. Almost at the stage now where Cotto found the beating at the hands of Margarito too much. Cotto again starts the round okay, but the pattern is that eventually Manny clicks into gear. Into the final minute and now Manny starts his assault, stalking as Cotto circles on the back foot. Left lands from Pacquiao. Manny urges Cotto to come to him. Not the sort of invitation I'd be accepting. Manny definitely slowed a little in this round - after setting an astonishing pace for the first nine. Level round for me, and 99-91 in total.

Round 11: Just six minutes left in this one now, and so far another astonishing performance from the amazing Manny Pacquiao. The only thing that's missing is the early finish, but that still could come. He's slowed in the last couple of rounds. Blood still trickling from Cotto's left eye. Manny starts this session better and Cotto backtracking already. Tremendous left from Pacquiao with Cotto on the ropes, and Manny follows up with a blistering assault. Cracking counter from the brave brave Cotto but it doesn't appear to dent the Filipino. Manny again unloads on the ropes, and when he does so with those blazing flurries Cotto just can't cope with the speed with which punches are coming his way.Astonishing conditioning for Pacquiao when you consider he's heavier than he's ever been. Back to the status quo in this round as Manny lands a left. Another round in the bag - leads 109-100 for me now.

Verdict: Pacquiao wins by TKO

 

Round 12: They touch gloves in centre ring as the crowd rise inside the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Just three minutes surely stand between Manny Pacquiao and the most impressive victory of his astonishing career. He just gets better and better. On the attack early in the 12th - Cotto on the ropes and eating a super left. Miguel on the ropes and this one is OVER. BAYLESS STEPS IN AND WAVES IT OFF. PACQUIAO WINS BY TKO. Astonishing performance by Manny, and nobody can doubt him now. Manny can now take up that singing assignment down the road at Mandalay Bay. Simply astonishing. Wonder what Floyd Mayweather Jr is thinking. Surely that fight has to happen, and what a prospect. Cotto for his part brave as they come, and slightly unfortunate not to hear the final bell after withstanding all that punishment in the middle rounds.

Fight stopped because Cotto wasn't fighting back. It was overdue. He's a warrior tho, wouldn't go down late. #boxing
