Pacquiao vs. Cotto: Manny Doesn’t Look Focused

pacquiao vs cotto
By Manuel Perez: After watching HBO’s Pacquiao-Cotto 24/7 episode 2 last Saturday night, I couldn’t help but notice how disengaged Manny Pacquiao appeared to be while preparing for his November 14th fight with World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Miguel Cotto. Not only did Pacquiao look distracted as he one person after another vying for his attention, but Pacquiao also was getting pummeled in his sparring session with Shawn Porter.

This is really bad. I was hoping that Cotto would be facing a motivated and well trained Pacquiao, but the way Manny looks now, he’s going to get mowed down if he goes in the ring looking that. Pacquiao looks like he’s going to the gallows as the days draw closer to his epic fight with Cotto. I can’t remember seeing a more demotivated fighter in all my days. Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s trainer, tried to give Pacquiao a pep talk after an especially bad sparring session but Pacquiao wasn’t meeting his eyes and didn’t seem to be attentive to what Roach was saying to him.
Roach let Pacquiao walk away without making sure that he understood what he had been telling him. I couldn’t believe it as I watched the whole scenario. Roach needed to make sure that Pacquiao was following what he was saying. I would have asked Pacquiao, “Do you understand me?” Roach is a nice guy and all, but he needs to be more assertive with Pacquiao because he’s not firm enough with the Filipino star.

I would have gotten in Pacquiao’s face and jammed him up for the way that he sparred with Porter. He looked really bad. Not only that, I’d have Pacquiao toeing the line. There wouldn’t be any basketball games or singing on television programs. God that was some awful singing if you ask me. Sounded like a wounded hound dog. The HBO 24/7 camera men could have done well to leave that bit out of the telecast.

Frankly, the entire episode 2 was painfully boring to watch, worse than any other 24/7 I’ve seen before. That’s saying a lot, because I’ve seen some really bad 24/7 episodes in the past couple of years. It seems like the whole bunch of them were sleep walking through the entire episode. What was especially sickening was the different players trying to curry favor with Pacquiao, as if he were some kind of king. I could never do that myself.

I’d give Pacquiao the straight talk and tell him to quit with the singing and make him ignore the boxing fans that are all over him trying to meet him. I’d have him with blinders on out in the some god forsaken place putting him through a torturous training camp that he’d never forget. Pacquiao might hate me afterwards, but at least he’d win the fight against Cotto. But the way that Pacquiao’s training camp appears to be going, I don’t give him a chance in hell of winning.

Pacquiao looks spaced out, distracted by something and not focused on Cotto. I don’t see any real training going on. Roach needs to have Pacquiao wired for this fight, but instead Pacquiao looks like a zombie, distracted and not tuned in. That’s too bad because it looks like Pacquiao is going to get a beating of his life against Cotto. I feel sorry for Pacquiao.

  4. iam a pac fan and a cotto fan! although i am more of a cotto fan and believe he will win this fight based on his record, determination, and the fact that he's being underestimated, plus he is still in his prime and a legit welter. please don't get offended pac fans! respect my opinion! i'd like to mention, that this perez guy does go over board on pac! but realistically speaking, on the second episode of 24/7, in pac's sparring session, he looked like he was having trouble with Porter. watch good, and don't be biased as most pac fans tend to be. no disrespect! if he was having trouble with Porter who only has about 15 fights experience, i believe he will encounter more trouble with cotto! but hey! that is my opinion! good luck pac!

  5. That's because freddie said Pac is too nice and friendly to his sparring mate. Don't expect that when it comes to cotto.

  6. you see! now its because freddie says pac is too nice! funny! its becuase of the size and strength of porter, which is ammature to cotto. thing is cameras were on him. freddy is a smart man. you know he had to sugar coat it. if pac was sparring taking his partners lightly before a cotto fight becuase he is too nice, what makes you think he'll be prepared. come on pac fans! this is the biased outlook you guys tend to have. be reallistic. that speed you guys are gassed up about can be nneutralized! hard headed and you are blinded by the hype on pacs last two fights. can't wait for 11/14. i love pac he is great. but his fans, are incredible. very biased. good luck to both fighters. esp. pac.
    hope i didn't offend any pac fans out there. as you guys seem to get bent out of shape on anything said about pac that does not glorify him. so i guess now i'm a pac hater huh! lol. pac fans are funny! thanks for the laugh guys

  8. Porter is a light middleweight. Of course Pac is going to have trouble with him. That's why he is the sparring partner who has yet to cash in on the 1k.

  14. haha... Another biased article from manuela perez... freddie really is good at this... knowing that the cameras are on pac... if cotto would be over confident because of what he sees in this episode... well, that's big trouble for him... It just means Freddie has again got into their heads... This is exactly what Freddie wants us to see and assume... That pac is having trouble...

    As for manuela here... hmmm... he/she is already being burned by his own co-writers at boxing24... him and that liam guy... very biased writers...

    As for the fight... this is a really good fight can't tell who's gonna win but I'm a Filipino and I'm gonna cheer for manny... GO MANNY!!.. Kaya mu yan!!.. haha..

    Manalo Matalo Cute pa DIN KAME!!. haha
