Exclusive Video Analysis: Pacquiao Game Plan for Cotto's Dangerous Left Hook E-mail
The talking is nearly over, its time for the technical game plan in the ring.  Liverpuncher.com was at the Wild Card Gym in person to see with our own eyes if Pacquiao was ready for Cotto.  Watch below with our exclusive video technical analysis of the game plan to beat Cottos vaunted pressure and left hook to the liver, aka the "Liverpunch".  Look for Pacquiao to implement these techniques in the fight!

Many people have asked, how will Pacquiao ever defend against Cottos powerful left hook?

As you well know, Cotto is a natural left hander just like Oscar de la Hoya, but fights in the conventional stance.  Oscar de la Hoya's left hand carried him though many championship weight classes as he used the left handed “Hooker Cut” a modified left hook that came upstairs.    So how will Pacquiao defend against Cottos Money Punch, the left hook?

Liverpuncher.com was there and saw some clues to Pacquiaos technique.  Pacquiao first sets up some offense in the middle of the ring, keeping distance from his foe.  Watch as Roach emulating Miguel Cotto then applies pressure on Pacquiao.  Pacquiao uses his quick feet, moving side to side and eventually circles to the other side of the ring, staying well away from the ropes.

Roach then throws countless left hooks, much like Cotto will in the fight.  The first one at 1:10, Pacquiao duck unders and slips, then moves out of range.  Again on the second left hook, he uses the same slipping technique.  Roach slaps Manny with another left hook at 1:17, as he uses his right elbow to block.


Another interesting technique Pacquiao employs, as Roach begins yet another left hook Pacman stretches out his right hand at 1:23, keeping distance, circles, and follows up with a combination upstairs.  Beautiful strategy and technique, what the sweet science is all about.  By throwing the right hand and circling to his left, it creates the distance and leverage he will need to pick Cotto off as he attempts any left hook.

What will the Pacman look to do if Cotto tries his left hooks along the ropes?  Watch as Roach throws more left hooks to the body, Manny blocks and follows up with his money punch, the left hand upstairs.  He then does the same technique again.

By the end of the video we see Manny’s offensive arsenal on display.  The power and blazing speed is a beautiful thing for any pugilistic fan to watch.  This is the sweet science on display, look for it on the day of the fight!

To throw the GANCHO AL IGADO, the LIVERPUNCH, Cotto will need to be close to pacman. Plus another thing I notice is when cotto throws the left hook, look at his right hand! in the photo above, his chin is EXPOSED for a left. Cotto will have to keep his defense tight.

Its no secret, Cotto's punch is the Liverpunch. Roach is getting his man ready that's for sure as displayed at Pacmans media day. Im not so sure Cotto's trainer is showing his man any new techniques and is rather going along with the normal routine. Cottos trainer is very green from what I can see.

Like I have been saying, cottos power is being underestimated. I still believe it. Ive said before Team Roach is overconfident. I do have to say Cotto will need to use his JAB to neutralize that speed and switch to southpaw sometimes to throw off pacman! The hand speed and footwork is very impressive though. Its a great fight!! Thanks for the Vid

my goodness lord manny is so quick. i predict a kd or 2 in the first round and a stoppage in the 7th or 8th round. the foot speed is too much for cotto!

Cotto is done,stick a fork in him! And I don't even like Pacquiao that much but I do respect him. He's not the number 1 fighter in the world for no reason. Even if you don't count Cotto's loss to margacheato (which I don't) Pacman would still be favored to win....In my opinion at least.

your right, what you've stated here will gonna happen this weekend. as manny's sparring has shown cotto is in for a tough night. that's the beauty of having roach, he does his homework well. and i would like to assume, there's no. 2 and 3 game plan as the fight progresses. everything will work for pacman! Goodluck Manny!

i know layzie aint letting that shit fly!! hahaha!! the thing about this whole fight is that everybody is a bit too overwhelmed with what Pacquiao has done recently, with good measure i guess, considering that he did beat an old big guy, and an overrated champ in Ricky Hatton. what i do give him is that he did exactly what he needed to do them cats! whomp em! now he's getting his real test at 145, Cotto's said to be so close to weight that he may even come in at 144, getting there without a problem is what spells problems for Manny! that strong of a man he has not faced since.......i know right!! smilies/grin.gif Manny's speed will be as much of a factor as Cotto's strength will. we're in for a historic fight and non of you fucks are satisfied....que mamones! Cotto in the mid-late rounds!

since you think you exposed manny's game plan.. how about cotto's game plan? and the real game plan not the low blow bs.

wow, is that a game plan? so, it means to say that Cotto is a strong southpaw puncher also.

I haven't seen a left jab thrown by Roach. An effective left jab is Cotto's key to victory. The same left jab that knocked down Clottey.

I dont think that media workout shown,is the actual game plan of Roach and student Manny, Logic dictates that you are not suppose to tell the world of your strategy, Roach is wiser that what you think, its only a decoy so that Cotto would change his own game plan, and or get confused in his preparation and come into the fight ill prepared, What do you think?

Is this site based in the Philippines? Geez, every time I check it it's another article about Manny Pacquiao's greatness. 1) I don't think Roach's speed will ever compare to Cotto's speed. Yes, it's easy to defend something you know is coming and WHEN it's coming. Again, I know speed is Pac's advantage, but that's not to say Cotto is as slow as Margarito. Cotto will not have as many problems with Pac's speed as most of you think he will. 2) I agree with a previous poster who said that Roach wouldn't show his strategy like that in public for everybody to see. 3) This is all assuming that Cotto is a one dimensional fighter that won't be able to adapt. Hatton was a one dimensional fighter, not Cotto. Cotto will pursue, back away, box, brawl, jab, etc.

I'm not saying that Cotto will definitely beat Pac. I don't think I can predict that... but people make it sound like Pac's fighting some journeyman.

all they showed was how manny will counter and avoid the left hook to the body. did you see any counter for cotto's lead left jab? No. Roach did not show that at all! when cotto throws the left jab he usually drops his right guard. that was the moment when judah hit him and almost knocked him down. i think that it was intentionally not shown. i believe that it will be the secret weapon, the shot that will end the night for cotto. 'Don't cry for me, Puerto Rico.'

Cotto I see him at first having trouble with mannys speed.. I see manny landing some clean shots early on.. I noticed in the video how he threw alot of punches down the middle were cotto leaves him self very open for uppercuts..But as the fight goes on i see cotto finally adjusting and trying to rip manny.. I think in this fight manny will finally feel a real welterweight punch.. Many people believe that manny is untouchable.. Why is that? He beat up on oscar who"s time was far over many years ago.. He beat a ricky hatton who is not even that good.. Miguel cotto is no oscar nor hatton.. And manny is no iron man.. He will be tested come nov14.. If cotto who is a heavy handed puncher finds a way to deal with mannys speed.. Which is a difficult task. He will be able to ko manny in the later rounds.. Remeber cotto"s courage and heart will Def keep him in this fight

How come pac haters always discredit his victories? hatton was the real deal at 140 dude.. anyway, i believe pac is gonna have the hardest fight of his life. If he can cope with cotto's power he'l be fine. we've seen pacquiao hurt by a 135lb marquez and it's scary to think what a power punching welter weight can do to him if he's caught with a clean punch. If pac survives the early rounds Cotto will dwindle in the late rounds and have ineffective punches come round 8-12. i have seen him battle a tough endurance test in clottey but pac won't relax in the late rounds like clottey did.. pac will have the killer instinct to constantly apply pressure. pac by KO in the late rounds.

Mark my words i cant say for sure that cotto will knock out manny but i can say this when ole manny feels a gut shot from a true welter hell change his game plan quick!

i'd have to agree with Lazie on this one. The music is GOD like music WTF LIVERP? (i imagined pacquiao emerging from the seas! freaking crazy) Fyi: Nothing best than The sound of the globes hitting the mits!

We aint hating we just see the fight much closer than many. Yes blazing speed, yes great power but the oponent is Cotto people, this is definetly the toughest fight for pacman (lately) and the biggest man he's encountered, perhaps one of the finest technical fighters too right behind marquez. Im thinking decision for pacman or KO by cotto still undecided but leaning towards cotto by ko in 9.

Yo HoneyD! Once cotto gets hit, He's gona hit back MotherLovers!!

Fyi Cotto training camp started 35 days earlier than expected and then somemore when arrived to vegas so i dont expect him to run out of gas like previously (vs mosley). He knows what's at stake that's why he's taking that extra mile! It should be fun, can't wait!

Cotto's too big, too strong and too skilled. Pac man is a great fighter but so is Miguel. Cotto will offset Pac man's speed with body punches and counter punching. Pacquiao does not have the power to knock Cotto out.
I think this is where Manny's reign ends.
