The buzz inside the MGM Grand in Las Vegas is starting to build for Pacquiao-Cotto
As I type this now I am inside of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, sitting next to fellow Examiner Dennis Guillermo.
It goes without saying that the crowd at the MGM is really starting to heat up. At the moment we are in the 10th round of the Yuri Foreman-Daniel Santos fight, but everybody's attention is towards the Miguel Cotto-Manny Pacquiao showdown.
On the first televised bout of the evening, Alfonso Gomez won a hard fought technical decision over Jesus Soto Karass, and Cotto was shown sitting ringside on the arena's overhead projector. The champion from Puerto Rico looked very calm, wearing headphones and nodding to the camera. Cotto's presence elicited a wild roar from the crowd. Moment later Pacquiao was shown walking to the ring and the Filipino contingent was equally as loud.
As I type this it approximately 7:25 PM, Pacific standard time and we are less than two hours from the night's big fight. So far I would estimate that roughly 12,000 people are loud and present. So far people have been filing in at a healthy rate and the electricity in the air is starting to rise. It goes without saying that things will be out of control when the main event jumps off.
The Filipino and Puerto Rican fans have made this a memorable event while also showing just how rare the sport of boxing is. Pride and country will be on the line in due time and I have a feeling Miguel Cotto and Manny Pacquiao will give us an evening to remember.

we're ready to give Mr. Cotto a free ride to the hospital.
stay tuned.
i heard Trainer Joe Santiago is applying for a head bus-boy job at Steve Wynne's Encore.
Awesome reporting Chris.
terra
What would be the excuse why Pacman won this time?
so where's Nostradamus descendant & his monkey Jeff The Rican???
Pambansang Kamao of the Philippines kicked Cotto's azz, a bigger & stronger man.
Cotto is shot.
he is a very old 29.
Joe Santiago will be going back to being a waiter.
what's are the excuses this time?
- oh, Cotto overtrained;
- Cotto's inexperienced trainer;
- Or MARGARITO!!!!!!
pacquiao wins by tko...NO SURPRISE!!!
I don't see tito, dumb tito and all his alter-as5hole's here...still NO SURPRISE!!
I would like commend for Mr. Bayless...he did a great job on stopping the fight at the right time...with all the beating cotto got from manny since the 1st round bell and should Mr. Bayless didn't not step-in at the right time, a high chance of another casualty of the sport..
Our prayers for the comeplete healing and recovery of another Filipino Pride, Z Gorres.
to all my fans i'm sorry, paquiao beat me no excuse, i'll have to retire from boxing, anyway i have already recieved my biggest payday.
uncle roger mayweather was really surprise to see paquiao beating cotto, in fact his now in the hospital having a heart attack, his an idiot uncle monkey.
@ eddie:
it would be the unexperienced ring side.
That was the purpose of Joe Santiago...to be a scapegoat..
Now what??? Pacman by 11th round TKO...I want to hear now the alibis,reasons and excuses of all Pac-haters,doubters,Floydfan and the likes of them,Manuel Perez and the likes of him to share now their thoughts why their man Cotto lost! I am right and you were all wrong!!! LOSERS!!!!! Now where are they???? Ha-ha-ha...
WHERE ARE THOSE FREAKS????? SHARE YOUR EXCUSES AND ALIBIS NOW!!!!! HA-HA-HA.....LOOOOOOOSSSSSEEEERRRRSSSS!

Bring on Klitschko!!!! We don't care who now Pacman fights!!! I think Gayweather is now wetting his pants in fear!!!
time to have a toast! The pacman made it again! every people doubt the pacman loose in some way or another once in their life! But they have to accept the fact with no excuses, someone the belittled one can get big sometimes. I know that they will find ways and reasons but now its history! Emmanuel Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao place himself to the pedestal that will remembered for a decades! Hail for the Pacman!
Ahhhhhhh #@%$ that cottos damaged goods......i aint congratulating pacquiao for picking on the easiest WW....COTTO WAS WEIGHT DRAINED nyahahahaha......he's just a bigger version of ricky hatton ha ha absolutely hopeless.....Now i know for sure floyd mayweather will beat this guy.....he wont be able to land half of those on floyd......lets make it happen pactards....it's our turn
Manny has now Passed my fav all time fighter Roberto Duran.
Those damaged goods ain't from no hood...they are better than the ones floyd has faced, but if Manny fights Mays don't count Floyd out I have a pick em fight.. must be at 145 lbs and a 15 rounder.. damn I'm good.
To #1Floydfan... you and your stinking idol's days are numbered A**hole... Let's see what reasons/excuses are you going to use this time to avoid a pacman fight... get lost, your reasons seems to be pretty obvious!!!
I know Vegas is Mayweathers town..I know Mayweather is a defensive Master, can, Manny hit floyd? This is the question.
Can't we all get along! Gosh!

Hey bats, I got pac no 1 all time. But styles make fights. I'm never wrong except with the kuiced klit bro. I'm out.
cotto became a "KUTO", sinuyod ni manny...buti nalang mey referee, hindi na tiris
allow me to have at least 2 predictions here..
1.) Joe Santiago will be used as scapegoat
2.) All Pachaters writers, analyst, and fans will become roach haters and will highlight the 1st round K.O. prediction of roach to save their egos.
Though nobody took the challenge Palabra de honor posted to all the writers and analyst who belittled the pacman. But i still insist that they shud voluntarily ban themselves from boxing and shun comepletly from the sport, specifically the ff:
Erik Marks of doghouse-his 7 reasons barked at the wrong tree
Lester Salvador of boxingnow- for teaching betors to become a loser like him..and also his analogy sucks!!
Matt Stolow of Examiner- for being the dumbest writer.
Reynaldo Sanchez of Boxing mundial- his dream was shattered and turned into a nightmare.
& last but not the least Mr. Jeorge perez- he'll do a big favor for himself if he comepletly stay out from boxing to save his stripes from his 30 years of the sport from making suck predictions
it seems that nobody want to comment bad against Manny Pacquiao after Miguel Cotto demolished and beaten badly inside the ring.. for those who always criticized and opposed Manny Pacquiao this is the right time to say something about him..show your ability now,this the right time..i want to see your opinion right now,common guys don't be shy..
next sunday (Nov.22) another Filipino boxing world champion will defense his WBO superflyweight title in the name of Marvin "Marvelous" Sonsona (W14-L0,12 KO's) from General Santos City,Philippines..he is the youngest world champion right now at the age of 19..he will face against Alejandro "Payasito" Hernandez from Mexico..this boxing event will happen in Ontario,Canada on November 22..to all the Filipino who always love and support boxing don't miss this opportunity because Marvin Sonsona is also considered as the Manny Pacquiao in the making..
Hurray to the Pacman!Let's celebrate!!!Well, I can only hope for so many excuses and alibis that would arise regarding Cotto's brutal beatdown!Where are you now doubters???Come out now wherever you are hiding!!!!Especially you floyd nuthugger floydfandesal!!!!Hey Floydpandesal, I think Cotto's a much tougher fighter than your boy Gayweather and Mosley. Your boy Gayweather will be next!!!GAY must be cringing in fear and wetting his pants now!!!Hail to the Pacman!I also commend Cotto's effort and sincere sportmanship inspite the loss, He knows how to accept defeat. My hat's off and my respect goes to you Miguel.You fought brave.
Dong Mannyyyyyyyyyyyyy your so Great oi!!Congratulation Pacman!!!we are so very proud of you here in japan.Cotto now is become 'KUTO'oppppppppppppps 'LUSA'nlng diay sya hahahaha!!Ipaglaban jud and atong pagka Pilipino!!!ilabi na sa ato mga taga GENSAN.Kababayan!!!We are always Pray for all your fights!!!Hayy ang saya saya!!!
Hey, to all Cotto fans u see the picture how Cotto looking for his lost pillow.
For sure after wathcing the fight!
Floyd ain't goin to fight the Pacman!
He must be hidng under his ugly father's back!
He'll make a lot of excuses for sure!
Nah! I have nothing against Miguel Cotto!
He is dearly a true sportsman!
The heart, the guts, the bravery!
He made no excuses!
He's no Gayweather who will do whatever he can to DUCK great fighters!
Cotto might have lost, but he lost to one of the greatest fighters of all time!
Mayweeather is undefeated alright, but has he fought real competitions? i don't think so!
Pacman is the best... i just love to watch again. atleast 500 times.hahaha watch the complete fight again at
veoh43.com
still i salute all the boricuans, all respect to miguel cotto. let's unite to kill the monkeys. mayweathers are disgraced to mankind
#1floydfan: dream on buddy! I watched mayweather fights. there's no way he can hurt pacquiao. even @ 147lbs, floyd cannot and will not win the fight. pacman will ko floyd.
u see how stupid money may is.
he demanded pacquiao to say that he wants to fight him….
then, when manny says he wants to fight him,
he seconded that manny is on steroid….
hahahaha… lol…
mayweather once said that 90% of the fight is done outside the ring.
and this is just a percentage of it.
dont let mayweather fool you…
Got something to say?
