Cotto vs Pacquiao: Miguel Cotto Tampa Florida 1st Week of Training

Sep 26, 2009

Cotto vs Pacquiao: Miguel Cotto Tampa Florida 1st Week of Training - In fulfilling the first week of their training in Tampa, Miguel Cotto trains to full steam for his defense of the WBO welterweight championship against Manny Pacquiao on November 14.

Cotto's trainer, Joe Santiago, said they were satisfied with the work of the first two sessions of sparring.

"We are in our second home and everything goes to plan. The boy (hired to spar with Cotto) is an excellent resource. He knows to do his job very well," said Santiago.

"He is left-handed and fast as Pacquiao... looks like a lot," he added. "If there is any difference, is that he has more defense than Pacquiao. Cotto has done well (with the left-handed position of the rival). We were already working with some sparring we had in Puerto Rico before coming here."

In the coming weeks, according to Santiago, the workload will intensify until about the last week of October, when the day approaches to travel to Las Vegas.

"In those last weeks, we will bring two more guys to spar, to come fresh and force him to use the effort we are looking for those days that help us prepare for the 12 rounds," said Santiago.

"If it ends before, then so be it, but we'll go with the necessary condition to fight with intensity for 12 rounds."

Speaking of condition, Santiago guaranteed that Cotto will mark to the 145 pounds on the official weigh day, rejecting the arguments of Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach. In the Philippines, Roach predicted that Cotto might mark pounds over the agreed weight as happened to Floyd Mayweather vs. Juan Manuel Marquez. Roach also said that the fight contract included an agreement to ease the penalty if he weighed more.

"That's not true," said Santiago. "And Cotto, no doubt, will weigh 145 pounds," he said.

    Mayweather vs Cotto. Mayweather will outbox both Cotto and the little man Pacman. Pacman is to small for both fighters plus if by luck he fights Mayweather he will be outboxed so ya it will be action and excitement but Pacman will lose to Mayweather if by chance he pulls a victory by luck from Cotto..Pacmans p4p title will come to an end soon so be ready for the former king Mayweather to rule the land again.

    Hatton wobbled Mayweather in the 2nd rd and was winning the fight until the 11th round when Mayweather hit him with a lucky shot and TKOd him in the 12th.

    Paquiao KOd Hatton in 2 rounds! Hatton was way too slow for Pacquiao but he could handle Mayweather spped and punches quite well.

    Mayweather will never get in the ring with Pacquiao.
