24/7 Pacquiao vs Cotto Part 2 - Team Cotto Reveals "Secrets", Prez on HBO? E-mail
Liverpuncher.com Reviews Pacquiao Cotto 24/7 Part 2!

1. Many have wondered where Michael Moore has been lately, well apparently he tossed out two Philippine governors visiting Manny at the gym. Roach said Moore could be back at Wild Card, but I think an ambassadorship to the Philippines is out of the question.
 
2. Pacquiao packs one hell of a punch - political punch that is.  In this episode not only did Pacquiao have groups of female fans jumping for a chance to catch a glimpse of him walking through the mall, but the president of the Philippines also appeared in a segment saying how Pacquiao is an “inspiration”.  Will Barack Obama come out and do the same for Cotto? Don’t hold your breath.

 

3. We asked the question last week, “Is Pacquiao losing focus in camp?” and this time we saw sparring partners Shawn Porter and Jose Luis Castillo giving Pacquiao a wallop.    Roach let him have an earful saying “if you go easy in sparring, you will go easy in the fight”.  I’m sure Team Cotto loved that scene.

 

4. We got a glimpse of what team Cotto has been doing for the past 6 weeks at 4:45 AM Monday through Saturday - road work. Everyone on the team joined the run and no one complained.  Now that is unity.  But why wasn't anyone running with him?  At least Pacquiao has his trusty dog "Pacman." 

 

5. Great thing about 24/7 is we get to see what the fighters do on their off time.  We saw Pacquiao singing nervously on Philippine national TV and Cotto shanking balls on a golf course.  Guys, stick to your day job.

 

6. Michael Konz, Pacquiao’s advisor continues to have friction with trainer Alex Ariza.  At one point Ariza says “Other than getting his dry cleaning and making decisions like Manny’s phone carrier, Konz serves no purpose in camp.”  One has to wonder how much longer Konz will be around.

 

7. Cotto did some sparring in this episode, but HBO only showed black and white still photos of the action as to not give away any secrets. But in the very next scene, Team Cotto is watching tapes of Marquez v Pacquiao and listing how Pacquiao drops his right hand and can be setup for a perfect left hook.  All this while little Cotto is taking notes on a pad.  Way to keep things under wraps guys!

 

8. Pacquiao arrived at the Wild Card gym and he seemed to be much more focused and at ease with himself in the familiar surroundings. Or perhaps he was just showing off for his promoter Bob Arum who was seen looking on during the training.  I'm sure Roach is happy to be home and at the wild card once again.

I dont think Cotto is much bigger than Pacquiao during thr fight. Lets remember they will come at catchweight of 145 lbs. So theres no difference in weight. If Cotto add more food during the fight then he will be in problem. On the other side, Pacquiao loves to hit the head 20 to 50 times until he gets dizzy. this is what happens to Dela Hoya fighting in front of Pacquiao like a statue.

i think Cotto's power punch is going to be the key of this fight....Paquiao is a great figther but this is not his regular weigth ,he is visiting Cotto's house and this is his biggest challenge...the best warrior is going to win
