Pacquiao will not conquer WBO Welterweight Crown

Nov. 05, 2009 | by Ruel Y. Muniz

Miguel Cotto is going to defend his WBO welterweight crown on November 14 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas, Nevada. Manny Pacquiao aims to get his 7th title of his boxing career. Pacquiao’s Team expects a victory assuring that Pacquioa is going to destroy Miguel Cotto on Saturday night.

This idle hope seems to be impossible. Beating a very strong bull is not easy as hitting punching bags in the gym all night. Comparing Cotto to starving fighters like De La Hoya and Hatton is not rational idea. No Manny Pacquiao can stop Cotto when he’s on momentum. Everyone knows Cotto’s dominance against Manny Pacquioa.

Miscalculations about Cotto show no respect to the man’s skills. Cotto will avenge for justice on November 14. Cotto shows destructive power in every fight. No one has ever hit Pacquiao as hard as he is going to be hit on Saturday night.

Miguel Cotto said,
"I'm preparing for 12 rounds and nobody is going to know what will happen until the night of the 14th.

"It is the most important fight of my career, but we'll have to see on the 14th if he is the toughest guy I have fought in my career.

"Manny looked good against Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton, but I'm not Oscar or Hatton. Manny chose the right time to fight Oscar."

Furthermore, Cotto’s team knows how to attack Pacquiao’s weakness. They studied Pacquiao’s fight against Juan Manuel Marquez. This weakness will be revealed by Cotto round by round.

“The same way that Freddie says he has seen weaknesses in Miguel, we know the weaknesses of Manny,” Joe Santiago said.

“If there’s any doubt, just review the eighth round of his second fight against Juan Manuel Marquez.”

Marquez opened up a cut over Pacquiao’s eye with a straight right and then rocked the reigning pound-for-pound king with a left hook, Cotto’s pet punch.

“Not that you can compare Marquez to Cotto,” Santiago added in the interview. “There’s no comparison. Cotto has more tools. He’s a versatile fighter who knows boxing.”
