Pac took away Cotto's courage using the peek-a-boo defense

[joartcc5]

He intentionally let himself be hit but if u notice most of Cotto's shots are landing on the gloves and arms of Pac.

After Cotto finishes up with his combos thats when Pac counters, then lures Cotto again to punch himself out.

Thanks Clottey for giving a fine blueprint.

Pacyuao basically merged Clottey and margarito fight plans into one.

roach watched that clottey fight religiously

Manny took Cotto's soul, Shang Tsung style.

If anything it really sapped Cotto's strength and will to let his best punches go at Pac and have no effect.

Not to mention most of Cotto's punches were hitting gloves and arms.

Pac has never done the peek-a-boo defense... never ever before.

So Pac using it to lure Cotto into a trap which btw... COTTO AND HIS CAMP NEVER REALIZED... it was a masterful strategy.

Cotto punched himself out by hitting Pac's gloves repeatedly.

Good observation. I didn't think of it that way.

good thoughts in this thread.

But manny did also take a solid amount of flush shots.

and just walked through them..or.. laid on the ropes and asked for more

he was out to prove he could handle Cotto's power tonight...just like Cotto was out to prove, in the first round, he was just as fast as Manny.

But only one proved themselves correct

When Pac was doing that, I was yelling at the TV like "WTF are you doing? Stay off the ropes you ******!" It never crossed my mind that he might be emulating Clottey, because that would be damn foolish to try to emulate what worked for a 170+ pounder when you yourself weigh only around 150. Damn, it makes sense though, after the fact. I gotta watch the fight again and see.

Pac is saying " Is that all you've got?""!!

Manny didn't use the peekaboo defense for this fight. He covered up like Winky Wright and Joshua Clottey does, but those arent variations of the peekaboo defense. He was just covering up.

I hate when people get that **** wrong. Makes me wonder if i'm even in a boxing forum.

It was still bad ass though
