Pacquiao-Cotto: The Definition Of A Fight



Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, Jr. are both back in the ring. Unfortunately, not against each other, but that’s not all bad news either.

With the announcement Monday from promoter Bob Arum that Pacquiao and welterweight champion Miguel Cotto had agreed to terms and conditions for a Nov. 14 mega-fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, the fall became something to look forward to for more than the foliage. Pacquiao-Cotto joins a lineup that also includes the beginning of SHOWTIME’s innovative six-man super middleweight tournament and Mayweather’s return to boxing after a nearly two-year hiatus against Pacquiao’s long-time nemesis, Juan Manuel Marquez.

While in an ideal world we might prefer to go right to Pacquiao-Mayweather and be done with it, this fall series is at least another step toward making boxing relevant again to the larger community outside the fanatic fight fan.

Boxing is far from an ideal sporting world but what we have ended up with is in essence a nine-fight elimination series to crown the true super middleweight champion and a two-fight elimination tournament to find the pound for pound best fighter in the world. As news goes in boxing, it doesn’t get much better than that very often and so we rejoice.

The smart money and most of the suits who run boxing assume the pound-for-pound debate will boil down to Pacquiao vs. Mayweather sometime next year but both Marquez and Cotto could have something to say about that, which is what will drive interest in both fights.

Marquez and Cotto both seem to have faded a bit, the latter well before his time, yet each will have advantages as well. Marquez is a consummate technician who at 36 has begun to show the ravages of so many years in boxing. He is easier to hit now than he once was and with Mayweather’s quick hands and agility that could pose serious problems for him. His lack of size will also be a factor in this fight yet he is a wise tactician capable of changing his approach in the middle of a match to confound an opponent and is a solid counter puncher who comes to the arena with a warrior’s heart.

The fact that timing is so much a part of Mayweather’s game should work to Marquez’s advantage because Mayweather’s near two-year layoff will affect that timing in ways Mayweather cannot anticipate until he is actually in the ring with Marquez. In the end, it seems unlikely Marquez will be able to turn that enough to his advantage to win but he remains Manny Pacquiao’s great nemesis for a reason – he can fight. That means even in this case he can also win. Whether he does or not will be up to him…and to Mayweather, which is what makes great fights.

As for Pacquiao-Cotto, there would seem to be no way stylistically this pairing can produce anything but the definition of a fight. While both have boxing skills, they also are prone to engagement and toe-to-toe confrontations if the other so desires. Since both will come to the MGM looking for just such moments it is impossible to believe they won’t find them.

That means an exciting night for fight fans because Cotto has the power to damage Pacquiao and the reverse is just as true. In the end, Pacquiao seems likely to prevail unless size finally is a problem for him because he seems to be on the rise while Cotto has not looked the same since the terrible beating he took from now disgraced Antonio Margarito.

Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KO) has been nothing short of brilliant for the past year, winning world titles at 130, 135 and then destroying first a faded Oscar De La Hoya and then Ricky Hatton at 147 and 140 pounds respectively to make himself the most popular and feared fighter in the world. Although size does not seem to be an issue with Pacquiao it was enough of a concern that his handlers originally insisted the Cotto fight be contested at 143 pounds. Wisely, Cotto’s side understood that would be an unnecessary weakening of their man and agreed only to come down to 145.

While even that tips the scales toward Pacquiao it was what was necessary to get the fight made and the checks written and so sacrifices were accepted but not foolhardy ones. It seems likely Cotto (34-1, 27 KO) will still be the stronger man when the fight begins. How long that advantage will hold remains the key element in the outcome because Cotto has not looked the same since the beat down he took in the second half of his meeting with Margarito.

Many wise boxing men now fear Cotto is damaged goods, a boxer who has not been able to shake either the physical toll or the mental effects of the dreadful beating he absorbed in losing what is now a tainted TKO because of the loaded hand wraps Margarito was found to be wearing before he faced Shane Mosley.

In his last outing on June 13, Cotto deservedly won a split decision over Joshua Clottey at Madison Square Garden but it was a bloody affair and one in which Cotto faded noticeably late in what became a brawl Clottey could have won if he had it inside him to push harder. He did not but Pacquiao won’t have that problem and so Cotto will again be faced with having to find inside himself in the late rounds that which perhaps Margarito beat out of him.

Although some writers gave him props for triumphing over Clottey despite bleeding badly by the end, in the final analysis Cotto’s demeanor bore much the same faded countenance late in the fight that he wore after Margarito began to beat him into submission. He survived but that was more Clottey’s doing than Cotto, who was game but ineffective as the rounds wore on.

Pacquiao is a relentless opponent who packs power now in both hands and is artful enough with his footwork to cause Cotto difficulties unless the Puerto Rican is simply too physically imposing. The one real bright spot for Cotto is that few opponents have the kind of chin Margarito possesses and that includes Pacquiao. That is not to suggest there is a problem with his chin but if Cotto can unload early on Pacquiao the way he did on Margarito there might not be late rounds to worry about.

The beauty of all this is that while we may think we know what is likely to happen in both fights all we know for sure is that they seem to be leading to something bigger. The winners seem, for once, likely to settle the remaining issues between them before next summer, bringing order to a disorderly business.

Viloria Decisions Iribe in a Very Game Battle

At the Blaisdell Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, IBF junior flyweight champion Brian Viloria (26-2, 15KOs) retained his title against a very game Jesus Iribe (15-6, 9KOs) by winning a twelve round unanimous decision. The scores were 118-110, 117-112 and 117-111.

In the first round, Viloria used his jab to get inside and land power punch combinations. Viloria's hands were very fast. He battered Iribe in the final two minutes with speed and power. Iribe began to develop a large swelling on his head. Viloria came out throwing bombs in the second round and pressing the action. He mixed in some shots to the body with the head shots. The third round was closer as the action slowed down. The two were jabbing each other for most of the three minutes. Iribe did some better work in round four but Viloria was still landing the better and more impressive punches with his quicker hands.

Some good flurries by Viloria at the start of the fifth and then he landed a huge right that stunned Iribe who fought back after being clocked. Iribe was stunned to the body in the sixth and again he fought back off the ropes. During the seventh, Iribe stood his ground and the two of them were taunting each other as they exchanged punches. In the eight, Viloria and Iribe continued to taunt each other whne exchanging punches. The ninth round was a jabfest. They exchanged jabs and punches to the body. Viloria landed another huge right hand that Iribe ate and kept coming.

A right hand at the start of the tenth stunned Iribe. He backed away and then came forward to exchange body punches. A big left by Iribe at the end of the round shook up Viloria and the exchanged some big shots. Viloria was loading up in the eleventh and Iribe was countering with shots to the body.

They both came out throwing bombs at the start of the twelfth. It seemed like Viloria was stunned by a big left. Viloria stood close and continued to exchange punches. Both of them were going for broke. It was puzzling why Viloria was slugging away when he was well ahead on the cards. Iribe was landing some very hard shots to the body. They traded punches until the final bell with the crowd on their feet.

How To Fight and Win?

If you want to have an idea on how to fight, then you must know that there are two kinds of fights - one is planned and the other is unplanned.

A planned fight will always have a set of rules, like the ones in a boxing match, a wrestling event and a martial arts tournament - so you will know how to fight. A planned fight will usually have men of similar weights.

An unplanned fight is the street fight that has a range of unpredictability about it - this is what makes the unplanned fights much more dangerous than the planned fights. An unplanned fight always has the danger of severe injury or even death, so you must avoid it.

Some tips on how to fight

Right from the moment the fight starts, you need to take a stance, trying hard to knock out your opponent. You need to have an improved balance that will help you to get on with the fight. You also need to shield yourself from the blows that come from your opponent, so be sure to keep your hands close to your body as this will help you guard yourself better, blocking the moves made by the opponent.

Detect your strengths when fighting and use that to your credit - like for instance if you are taller, then use your longer limbs to your benefit and try to protect yourself from the advances of the opponent. If you are very fast then try to strike fast and get out faster from the fight. If you think you are slow in a fight, then it will be best for you to avoid chasing your opponent, but let your opponent come to you.

First know how to fight and then go for a fight - this will leave you with greater chances of winning the fight.

How To Punch Correctly?

Hitting a punching bag can be a way to improve self-defense tactics, compliment an exercise routine, or practice for a sport, such as boxing or wrestling. Correctly hitting a punching bag will improve your physical fitness, but if your form is incorrect, hitting a punching bag can lead to injury. A heavy bag weighs between 40 and 100 lbs. and hangs from the ceiling. It is important to learn the proper form before starting to work out using a punching bag. You should follow the steps below:

Step 1.) Protect your hands by putting on boxing gloves. For additional support and protection, tape your knuckles and wrists before putting on the gloves. Failing to wear gloves could easily result in injury.

Step 2.) Warm up for 10 to 15 minutes before beginning your routine. Stretch for a few minutes and start to work up a sweat by jumping rope or running in place.

Step 3.) Practice the proper stance before hitting the bag. Stand on the balls of your feet; do not stand flat-footed. Keep your knees bent so you are easily mobile and you have a lower center of gravity. Keep your hands in front of your face with your fists clenched and turned inward.

Step 4.) Hit the bag rather than push it. Many amateurs try to take a big swing to hit the bag hard. This results in poor form and low power. The power comes from your shoulder. The resting position for your right hand is by your right cheek. To properly throw a right-hand punch, step toward the bag. Extend your arm while rotating your wrist so that your knuckles are facing the bag, and punch from your shoulder by rotating your body toward the left.
You will know if you punched the bag correctly if the bag "snaps." The chains that attaches the bag to the ceiling with snap up. If you use incorrect form and push the bag, the bag will swing and the chains will stay perfectly straight. Once you punch the bag, immediately bring your arm back to its resting position in front of your face.

Step 5.) Develop a routine using both hands. For right-handed people, punching with the left hand is awkward and takes much more practice to develop a powerful left-hand jab than a right-hand jab. Remember to develop both arms equally so you do not have a weakness.
