I've been rocking Manny since he was that skinny crack fiend looking dude with his hair looking sun burnt from the General Santos sun and when he was just as popular as Gerry Penalosa ... but the bandwagon got too big and all those politicians and obese looking filipino-americans who don't know crap about boxing pushed me off the wagon
Lets say when the bell rings, my filipino blood will most likely take over and i'll end up cheering for Manny, but if he loses.... i won't mind
Back to boxing. Manny needs to keep the fight at the center of the ring and Cotto needs to pin him on the ropes. Manny needs 3-4-5 punch combinations to hurt Cotto. But Cotto just needs 1 flush shot to hurt Manny. Manny's chin was above average at 126-130 lbs. While he was able to carry his power and speed to 140-147, I don't think he was able to carry his chin. Oscar and Diaz was too slow to land anything clean, and Hatton was just shook... 130 lb JMM hurt Manny in the body with the left hook.... Imagine a fully hydrated 160 lb Cotto will do.
Cotto by KO via liver shot in the 6th

Las vegas, Nevada - Mexico's Antonio Margarito, who last night made his arrival at the mgm grand hotel, hopes to resume his career in the welterweight division in early 2010 when his one-year suspension is up indicating Sergio Diaz, one of his handlers, who are considering Felix Trinidad Evangelista Cotto Garcia and a group of potential candidates to become Margarito's new trainer following the departure of Javier Capetillo.
"Tijuana is in training and hoping for something after his suspension expires. We fought hard with Top Rank about that but we'll have to wait time our time is met. And we're already talking to a new coach so when he gets back his license. We do not rule out Evangelista ,Trinidad and also Freddie Roach. But we would explore the possibility that it is a Puerto Rican, "he said.
Margarito was suspended following a finding of an alteration in his bandages for his fight with Shane Mosley he lost by technical knockout subsequently being suspended both"The Tijuana Tornado 'as also Capetillo.
"And we listened to Bob Arum of a fight with Cotto in June at Yankee Stadium. If that is accepted by Cotto it is a very big fight. Everything depends on the company but i would give them a fight before that. These are the plans and would be in the same welterweight division, ".
