Pacqiaou vs Cotto fight starts great, but ends badly. On Saturday night I went to a friends house to watch the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto. We bar-b-qued, drank beers and watched the under card fights in anticipation for the main event. We gave our opinions on who would win the fight and if Floyd Mayweather should fight the winner. After watching exciting under card fights including Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. upping his record to 41-0-1 and the main event was ready to be seen. We took our seats like we were at the fight as everybody crowded around the television waiting to see what boxer and country would be victorious. Would it be the hard hitting Manny Pacquiao and the Philippine nation or the strong brawler Miguel Cotto and the beautiful country of Puerto Rico. With video cameras going around the MGM Grand Garden Arena we seen celebrities such as Derek Jeter, Mark Walberg and Fat Joe, but with all those celebrities there was no one there who was more important than Paquiao's father. Pacquiao and his father have been separated for some time and this was the first time he was able to see his son fight. As the fight started we saw Cotto come out ready to punish a hesitant Pacquiao that gave too much respect, but as round after round ended we saw Pacquiao's punching power prevail. With Pacquiao knocking Cotto down in the second round the whole house stood up and began to yell, but quickly quieted down as Cotto took the third round. It seemed as Cotto got his mojo back coming into the fourth round until I yelled out,"yeah Cotto just don't go down" only to have him knocked down seconds later for a second time. You see Cotto was leading the fight each round, but after that second knockdown Pacquiao showed less respect for Cotto's punching power. For the rest of Pacquiao showed off his speed by quickly punishing Cotto causing cuts to his face. Look this was a great fight and was way more exciting than Mayweather vs. Marquez. Even though I was highly upset the referee stopped the fight in the final round with just minutes left I can say each round was action packed. After watching Pacqiao make history by winning his seventh title in seven different divisions all I have to say now is when is Mayweather vs. Paquiao coming or Cotto vs. Paquiao two?
