So as I previously predicted, pacquiao won in the 12 round by referee stoppage. It's rare to see a tko in the last round. Pacquiao proved to all the nay sayers that he is not over rated!!! Cotto stated that he could not see where the punches were comming from. He was knocked down twice during the bout in the early rounds, the first 2 legitimate knockdowns of his career as well as 1st legitimate loss. I thought they were going to call the fight at the 10th round but cottos young and inexpirienced trainer forced cotto to get back in there to go all 12 rounds. I'm sure he will be critisized for this. After the bout pacquiao is now the only person in history to earn 7 titles in 7 wheight classes. Hats off to you cotto for showing genuwine sportsmanship after the fight. Cottos face looked as he did when Margarito used plaster of Paris in his hand wraps, with pacquiao on top victoriously, no need for any cheating just pure skill. Speed does kill, everyone thought cottos power will be too much for pacquiao, but it showed that pacquiao can take the hits of a real welterwheight, as well as punch like one! Now what's next? Mayweather? I think not.... Mayweather is too greedy and I believe that he doesn't deserve a chance in the ring with pacquiao.
On a side note,,, I am now a new proud uncle. Meet Julian! Out good luck charm for the fight.
