Manny Pacquiao – Miguel Cotto Predictions

What’s gonna happen come the fight night, broadcasts today here on this very blog. So read on.

True boxing critiques might have different opinions on who will prosper come the fight night. Freddie Roach is looking for a round 1 knock out, Cotto going down. Some say Manny will knock Cotto out in the early rounds. Some say Cotto is too tough for Manny to knock out, because Cotto is naturally bigger and a true welterweight fighter. Others say Cotto wins via unanimous decision. Cotto wins by knockout if Manny will be careless.

While others predicts for fight results, others are already talking about who the fighters will fight next, regardless of who wins between them.

All those are just predictions, because nobody has really seen the results. But there are few things that are quite recurring scenarios in the Philippines every single time Manny climbs up the ring.

Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto


Come the fight night:

  • Silence will overcome the roads of the Philippines, as the fight night opens. Vehicles on the road will pull over to their garages, little by little.
  • Crime rate will drop in full speed down to zero, and will surges up like rising voltage right after the fight ends.
  • The National Anthem of the Philippines will be sang on the ring once again. That might lead the performers to controversy if they will sing it wrongly. Getting convicted is a possibility.
  • As usual, Manny will kneel down on four corners of the ring as he climbs up, but might forget one corner because of a big obstacle that is Cotto.
  • Faces of some Filipino politicians will be on the screen for at least a second. They are not there to watch Manny, nor to put on their bets. They are there to show the poor Filipinos that they can afford to be there. And give some hints on where the taxes go.
  • There will be few undercard fights before the main event. During that time, there will be lesser commercials on Solar Sports and GMA 7.
  • Tried and tested, commercials in between the rounds, when Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto starts exchanging punches, will be longer than the whole fight itself.
  • Restaurants will take advantage of the event to encourage customers. Later they will realize that their sales are actually down by more than 50%, because customers did not order anything. And some customers will forget to pay the bills.
  • Short messages will clogged the textwaves because people who were able to watch the fight LIVE in cinemas and other sources will text their friends non-stop about the result of the fight until their friends are pissed.
  • When it comes to internet, there will be at least two bloggers who will try to cover the fight via “Round by Round” blog. Some will also try to do it “Punch by Punch” or “Blow by Blow” whichever they prefer.

Manny Pacquiao – Miguel Cotto fight is gonna be on November 14th. Both camps are doing so well in terms of training. And I’m sure, both fighters have the same feeling when it comes to who’s gonna win. Of course they have to believe in themselves and all we have to do is wait for the result, come the fight night, whose dream will come true.

Mo Twister interviewed the hall of famer trainer, Freddie Roach. He’s the person most responsible in molding Pacquiao’s being as a boxer. He’s been awarded few times as the Best Trainer of the Year and he was on the show today.

The interview only went on for nine minutes but it was the best one I’ve ever heard. Freddie talked about the training regimen, the difference of training in Baguio and US. Asked about how Pacquiao will knock out Miguel Cotto, getting him in the 1st round is part of their game plans. He also talked about what he likes about Manny in terms of skills. He was also asked a mythical question, who would Freddie like for Pacquiao to fight from the legends. Among other things, he also talked about how he and Manny could have ended a fight if he was to fight with him during his prime.

There’s a lot more they talked about in the 9 minutes interview and I don’t want to keep you waiting. Here’s your chance to listen to it.

DJ Vicky Belo sits in today, Freddie Roach visiting on Monday

We’re kinda getting used to Vicky being a substitute DJ. She contributes and participates well in the conversation and she’s very cool. Most importantly, generous. The last time she sat in with the DJ’s, she donated 10,000 pesos cold cash straight from her bag just for the game. Today, 5,000 pesos. She can be a bitch, but she preferred not to.

Like what we expect, calls about boob jobs, skin care, weight loss, and thing regarding beatifying oneself will come in. Vicky was always kind enough to share beauty tips and how things are done, but when it comes to pricing, she only had one answer; 819-BELO.

Of course, for her to feel like a real DJ, she has to have a DJ name. Someone suggested DJ Chop-Chop Vicky. I guess DJ 819 is perfect. Whatever.

He’s also going to talk about the current political situation in the country and how he can help on getting the country on the right track. Let’s also prepare for the announcement of his Facebook and Twitter account, so we can then keep ourselves updated on Manny Pacquiao’s condition.
