LAS VEGAS -- Manny Pacquiao's speed and power were way too much for Miguel Cotto's heart.Pacquiao put on yet another dominating performance Saturday night, knocking down Cotto twice and turning his face into a bloody mess before finally stopping him at 55 seconds of the 12th round. The Filipino star used his blazing speed and power from both hands to win his seventh title in seven weight classes and cement his stature as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. Cotto took such a beating that his face was a river of red from the fury of Pacquiao's punches, but he refused to quit even as his corner tried to throw in the towel after the 11th round. Manny Pacquiao may not tell you he's great, but he shows it every time he steps in the ring. He sent another message Saturday against Miguel Cotto and put his name in the history books, Dan Rafael writes. "I didn't know from where the punches were coming," Cotto said.
I'm back. Anytime a 144 pound man gives an absolute beat down, I have to be a part of it. I think you had to watch the HBO special 24/7 to really appreciate Pac-man. The guy trained in the Phillipines during a typhoon, was an actor in a filipino super hero movie and is the lead singer in his own band. All during the 4 weeks he has to prepare for the biggest fight of his career. Fucking awesome.
