I was fortunate to have watched the fight of Pacquiao vs Cotto at pay-per-view from my aunt’s friends. No commercials and live showing. It was a great 12 rounds. Although TKO at the 12th, I salute Cotto for his tenacity, determination, and sportsmanship. God is good for Pacquiao won the bout!
I would commend Freddie Roach’s superb training which led Pacquiao to become one of the best fighter in the world. I am impressed by Pacquiao’s stamina, agility, and smartness. Have you noticed that he didn’t let his guard down for a minute? That even when he’s punching Cotto continuously, he would always remember to protect himself. He hasn’t let himself be trapped/cornered. Manny has shown outstanding athleticism – the scorecards plainly rule in favor of him. His punches were twice as many as Cotto’s.
I heard that Pacquiao would go down the history as the first fighter to win world titles in seven divisions. So what’s next for Manny? Politics? movies/showbiz? or another fight?
Congratulations Manny! You did the Pinoys proud again!

yes, Manny Pacquiao has already cemented his place in boxing’s storied history. He even surpassed what the “Flash” Gabriel Elorde accomplished during the 1960s. Manny P. is surely one in a zillion…a rare breed athlete who is gifted with speed and power atop the boxing ring
