By Sal V After all the talk, 24/7 episodes, and hype, Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto lived up to it all and more.  The destruction of Miguel Cotto in 12 round TKO proved much more than just a new champion at 147lbs, it was the way in which it occurred that was the most telling.

Many fans and experts alike had said this would be Manny Pacquiaos most dangerous fight, and it was, for about 2 ½ rounds.  Cotto used his boxing skills beautifully in the first round, setting up the jab and countering with combinations.  By the 3rd round Manny Pacquiao was getting through Cottos defense, hitting with combinations so fast there was nothing Cotto could do.

Manny Pacquiao had time to celebrate after his win over Miguel Cotto via 12th round TKO on saturday.  He actually booked a concert where he will sing several songs for his fans.  Also, hear what he had to say about Floyd Mayweather Jr.
