The Best Man Wins!!!
Manny Pacquiao boxed and carved a special niche in boxing history at the MGM Grand Garden Arena by outpunching and eventually knocking out technically Miguel Cotto, Puerto Rico's Best.
Many thought that Miguel Cotto will be Pacquiao's toughest challenge when they will meet in this highly anticicapted fight for welterweight title. They were all wrong.
When Pacquiao trained there were distractions. There was typhoon Ondoy. There were times during training period that Paquiao went to the extent of helping hte victims of typhoon Ondoy by handing the donations himself to the victims. There was that shooting for a movie and many other forms of distractions.
But when Pacquiao trained it was as if he is preparing to entertain everyone. He worked hard everyday.
Fight time came and Pacquiao once more showed to the world what the filipino was capable of. Cotto, who seemed indestructible due to his fearsome fight record and physique, wilted under Pacman's heavy bombs and precisioned - artillery. Cotto managed only to win the opening round but the second to the 12th round Pacquiao was in command of the fight. It was target - shooting. Pacquiao almost hit at will. The artillery was there. The bombs were there. And Pacman's Machin gun did the rest. And Cotto like the rest - suffered his second defeat. To a filipino, whom many thought could not stand a chance against him.
Boxing is alive again!!!
There have been wild talks of an impending Mayweather - Pacman bout. But from the looks of it before the Cotto fight - he seemed to avoid the Filipino Fighter. Now that Pacman is the welterweight King and has proven to all and sundry that he deserves to be called the " Best Pound for Pound Boxer " for this year, can Mayweather ever dream of fighting PACMAN? or would the win over Cotto make Juan Manuel Marquez scared of?
Maybenot. Would hit - and - run tactics of Mayweather and his enormous ring savvy save Money from Manny Pacquiao's bombs artiller and Machine guns? Would Marquez's counter - punching be a factor if evenn there will be a next fight?
May the Best Man Win!!!
