The Manny Pacquiao, Miguel Cotto lived up to the hype and paved the way for the biggest since the Thrilla in Manilla. The fight was stopped 55 seconds of the 12th after Cotto was too much of a beaten fighter to continue. Pacquiao knocked Cotto down in the 3rd round, but Cotto jumped right back up and went to work. Then in the 4th, Manny hit Cotto with a left and sent him to the canvas for the second time. It seemed that was the punch that doomed Cotto for the rest of the fight. By the time the referee stopped the bout, Cotto looked like the victim of a very bad car accident.

“I didn’t know from where the punches were coming,” Cotto said. “Manny Pacquiao is one of the best boxers I ever fought.”

Now all eyes are on Mayweather Jr., to step into the ring with the Filipino champ, a fight that has been called for a few years now.
