PacMan's Corner

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.

Round 8 for Pac and Cotto is hurting. A brave effort but he's running out of ideas #boxing

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.
