Manny Pacquiao Stops Miguel Cotto In The 12th Round

Manny Pacquiao Stops Miguel Cotto In The 12th Round

Manny Pacquiao Stops Miguel Cotto In the 12th round after taking a huge amount of punishment through out most of the fight. The first few rounds were pretty even and Cotto did land some good  punches in the early rounds, his jab was effective. But Manny Pacquiao proved he can take some good solid punches from a full blown, powerful Welterweight. Miguel Cotto was knocked down twice in the early rounds, but got off the canvas to keep on fighting, showing good courage and fighting spirit.

Manny Pacquiao boxed superb. He was too fast. and too strong. Cotto's strength and power seemed to drain pretty quickly, which was surprising. I thought it would be the other way round. Cotto was on the retreat from about the 7th round onwards. It seemed like he was in survival mode, and just wanted to hear the last bell. But it wasn't to be..From the 8th round onwards Cotto's face was a mess, his eyes were swollen, he had a cut eye and bloodied mouth, the referee was concerned for Cotto. But Cotto kept fighting, throwing punches going backwards in retreat mode. In the 12th round the referee decided to end the fight when Cotto was taking too many unanswered punches, and was also way too behind on the scorecards to win the fight. It would of been nice to see Cotto finish the fight, even though he wouldn't of won on the cards. Cotto's pride was hurt, specially as it was stopped in the 12th round. I thought the referee should of let him finish the fight.

Cotto did not retire, he wanted to keep on fighting. He showed great heart even though he was getting beat up pretty badly. So, who next for Manny Pacquiao? Many people, including Freddy roach, said they want Floyd Mayweather Jr. So many people want to see this fight that it just has to happen, and i cant wait!

Manny Pacquiao is totally unstoppable at the moment. He is one of the best boxers ever. Winning this title has placed him into the record books for being a SEVEN weight World Champion!.

Can Manny Pacquiao beat Floyd Mayweather Jr ?..I'd have to say yes he can.
