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

[The Dreamer]

Pacyuao basically merged Clottey and margarito fight plans into one.

I kid you not, I was expecting to see Manny do the little Margarito jog. I wouldn't have put it past Roach to work on that during training just to mess with Cotto's head even more.

I respect Cotto for the Valiant Effort but Pac is more Smarter, Tougher and has a more Complete Skill set as a Boxer. Thats why he use Bamboo Sticks to beat up his forearms and abs to prepare for the punishment that he might receive in the fight.

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

Ur ****** as ****.

Pac was letting Cotto tire himself out by absorbing the initial combos then Pac will fire away with combos at the tail end of Cotto's shots.

Afterwards Pac resets again and lets Cotto punch himself out again.

That's a simple peek-a-boo defense dude.

U dont know boxing.

So u also heard that Pac beats his body up with bamboo sticks.

It's a grim training regimen but what it does is it numbs down Pac's reaction to pain.

Kinda like self-inflicted leprosy.

I actually thought about Ali VS Foreman.

I first thought Manny must have been stunned because I had a bad stream and couldn't see so well, but then I saw him do his signature twist around the fighter and realised that he does that **** in sparring all the time.

It's a good way to get the other guy tired and test his power. Especially when you are up in points early on.
