Manny Pacquiao is really one of the all time great in boxing history. The fight would have been stop in the 11th round and i was surprise when Cotto opt to continue the fight, maybe he does not want to get knocked and chose to run and survive. But the result was still awarded as a TKO. Cotto is a tough guy and i think he came in a good condition but fell short to Manny. I'm happy with the outcome and i bet you feel the same way...congratz Manny! thanks for giving us pride again...

The man looked like a beast tonight. Did some unprecedented tactics during the fight (of which only a fighter of his caliber can come through) taunting Cotto into flat-footed exchanges. He showed he can stand toe to toe with the heaviest hitters in the division. Took Cotto to school for the duration of the bouts. Hats off to the game Puerto Rican, but our fighter proved too much for him. Another Filipino made history. Definitely among the very best of ALL TIME!

Yeah he beat him really bad. I thought Roach miscalculate about a sure knockout until the ref stopped the fight in 12th. I think Cotto exposed some weakness on Pacquiao, in the later round when Cotto starts to move around Pacquiao it seems he doesn't know how to fight that way. But unfortunately for Cotto it was too late to use it. I hope Roach sees this weakness and improve Pacquiao even more!
Anyway, CONGRATS MANNY & CONRATS TO ALL FILIPINOS!!!!!!!!!!!

Cotto had been tough through out the fight - I think being able to stick with Manny until round 12 makes him one of the best boxers Manny has ever faced. But Manny undoubtedly came out to be the faster, stronger, better fighter. I never really understood boxing and how it is seen as a sport with 2 people beating up each other, to me it looks violent. Nonetheless, I admire both men's courage and passion for the "game".

It's no doubt how good Pacquiao is when it comes to boxing, even he became underdog in most of his fight. Most of the great fighters now are challenge to face him. I think they feel that, Manny Pacquiao is just a chicken for them because of his simplicity. Keep it up Manny!

I hope there will still be a lot of pinoy boxers out there to follow the foot steps of paquia, and be the best in there choosen sports or profession to put the map of the philippines in this competitive world even how bad is our political status in life we still had a few good filipinos out there who's gona leave a mark in history.
