Manny Pacquaio established himself as one of the greats Saturday night, he picked apart and destroyed Miguel Cotto in a 12th round TKO…..here are some qoutes from the fight…..”The best fighter I have ever seen,” said his promoter, Bob Arum. “And that includes Muhammad Ali, and Sugar Ray Leonard and Marvin Hagler. The best fighter I have ever seen.”………..Manny is pound for pound the best fighter in the world…….(boxing fan with front row tickets)……..
Cotto landed 93 power punches, compared to 276 for Pacquiao……. Cotto had a terrible gash over his left eye…… his face had become grotesquely bloody….. his wife and son had left their ringside seats, unable to witness more…… Cotto’s father asked for a stoppage in the 11th….. finally, with Pacquiao still beating his @ss, Bayless granted his wish.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission ordered Cotto to skip the postfight press conference in favor of a body scan at the hospital. A publicist was left to convey his sentiments: “He wanted the media to know he fought the best fighter he ever fought.”
