Pacquiao-Cotto: Manny Looks Nervous
November 1st, 2009
By Manuel Perez: There’s only two more weeks before Manny Pacquiao meets his doom against Miguel Cotto on November 14th at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pacquiao looked worried on HBO’s Pacquiao-Cotto 24/7 episode 2 show this past weekend. I could see fear growing on Pacquiao’s face as Cotto’s name was being mentioned. I’ve seen that look on Pacquiao’s face before when he fought Juan Manuel Marquez two times and in his first fight with Erik Morales, and it’s not a good sign. Fear tells you a lot about what’s going inside a particular fighter.
Pacquiao was getting handled really well in the sparring session during the episode 2., I couldn’t help but notice. It’s nice to see things for myself instead of having to hear things second hand through the filter of Pacquiao’s love sick boxing fans.
What I saw was Pacquiao getting pretty much man handled by some big, slow sparring partner who has none of the speed and power that Cotto will be bringing all night long on November 14th. If this is any indication of how Pacquiao will be fighting against Cotto, then Pacquiao doesn’t stand a chance in hell against Cotto. This will be as one-sided a fight that you’ll ever see in your life.
The look of fear on Pacquiao’s face is a big concern for me. Pacquiao looks as if he’s ready to go to pieces even before the first punch is thrown. Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s trainer, needs to settle Pacquiao down because this is going to be a one big slaughter if Pacquiao comes in the fight looking timid and afraid of his own shadow. I mean, it’s going to be a slaughter anyway because Cotto is much bigger and more powerful than Pacquiao but it will be a lot worse if Pacquiao comes into the fight looking like a nervous wreck.
Pacquiao needs to realize that it won’t matter if he loses the fight. Pacquiao will still remain a hero in his home country of the Philippines. The only outcome of his loss to Cotto is that, depending on how bad the defeat is, Pacquiao might lose out on a potential mega fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. That’s no big deal. Cotto will fight Mayweather in that case and Pacquiao can always hang around and hopefully get a chance at fighting the winner of that bout.
I’d rather that the winner of that fight someone else like Antonio Margarito rather than have to face Pacquiao, who be more of a retread at that point. But the cable networks will probably want to give Pacquiao another chance at the bit to see if he can redeem himself somehow. I don’t give Pacquiao any chance against the winner of that fight, but at least he’d still be able to get a good payday.

so who looks nervous now after the fight?
Boxing news how can you guys still keep a writer like Manuel Perez in your site. Articles like these only make you guys look dumb. LOL!!
Manuel Perez… this article is a testament how unreliable you are LOL!!!!
Manuel or Manuela I dont care if you a dude or something else! Anyways, Why you hate the Filipino so much? Just be it! Pacman take all the credits of what he accomplished! So shut your mouth next time! You want sampol? sampol? He’s gifted for sure!
Hi Manuel Perez,
You ate your words. You should cover your mouth now !!!! Ahehehe
Manuel Perez, yeah, Manny gets nervous weeks before any of his fights. Tell me which boxer doesn’t?
But for Manny it is a unique kind nervousness – one that urges and pushes him to perfect during training the plan Freddie and he had devised, and muster up all his energy, skills and resiliency to execute the plan in the moment of truth and come out triumphant.
Manny is never complacent and recognizes the fact that danger exists until the time that opponent is knocked out or the final round is over.
Manny is the greatest boxer of all times and has made boxing history. In the case of boxing, the following adage will not be applicable: History repeats itself.
Ther will neve such a great accomplishment in boxing.

“The look of fear on Pacquiao’s face is a big concern for me. Pacquiao looks as if he’s ready to go to pieces even before the first punch is thrown”
*Did you see that kind of face when he went inside the ring or did you see it at the start of the 3rd Round and the 4th Round?
What a great prediction. I’m totally amaze and stunned.
“I think the latter case will be the situation for Pacquiao in his fight with Cotto. He’s going to crumble first from fear and then from the huge power shots from Cotto.”
*Landed Punches : Pacman – 336 Cotto – 172
Power Shots : Pacman – 276 Cotto – 93
Everything you say now is true…only if I am a fool.
Me? Nervous? get out of town!!!
mr perez, where are you now? any follow-up article about last night’s fight? do come out and face the reality! any new predictions to pacman’s coming fights? mayweather? what do you think about mayweather-pacman fight, if it does happen? speak up and would like to hear from you. knock-knock–are you there?
I love the way the author of this article just wandered into this imagery future scenario of his, where Cotto fights Mayweather and then the winner fights Margarito, and Pacquiao is in the meantime struggling for attention. Its fascinating how a mans delusional state of mind will hinder any of his attempts to face the truth. And by truth I mean specifically in this case; That its not a certainty that Cotto will destroy Pacquiao, that both are great fighters, but that Pacquiao is still the favorite to win and so on and so forth. It amazes me how hatred breeds ignorance. Or is it the other way around, the latter develops the former. Anyway, Manuelito, que te pasa. Ese rencor que guardas hacia al Filipino no te va a beneficiar de ninguna forma. En serio, no vale la pena…
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
PACKING MANUEL PEREZ.. I BET YOU ARE STILL IN COMMA FOR MAKING ANOTHER STUPID ANALYSIS. CAN’T YOU JUST QUIT WRITING BULL$HIT ARTICLES? YOU ARE A WASTE MATHERPACKER.
*cough cough* ahem ahem!
Mr. Perez is just anybody like you and me.In truth, he was very happy for the attention he is getting right now. I’m sure, it doesn’t matter to him whether what said about him does conform or against his opinion. Imagine, if you’re in his place, you’ll be getting attention from corners of the world…a big deal indeed. So, let’s just focus of what could be our prediction in this great fight without getting mad from anybody else. Just make the best fight analysis.. Well, I for one is rooting for Manny Pacquiao because I still want a Filipino to be known as one of the greatest fighter in the annals of world history. Let’s pray hard for Manny’s victory..a victory to all of us Filipinos all over the world.
Mr. perez why dont you take advatge of it. Bet all your money to your IDOL COTTO, seem like pacman look nervous to you…he he he he . we will be laughing if he gets K.O. and shut your mouth..
After lasting 11 rounds with antonio “stucko hands” margarito, cotto is determined to prove that he is still the best true welterweight in the world. I saw the fight between paquiao and hatton and with all respect to paquiao, hatton does not box. he was looking for a ko punch and got caught by a counter by paquiao. cotto wont make that mistake. cotto is a skilled boxer with power who will mentally, phisically and emotionally finish paquiao somewhere in between round 7 and 9. sorry paquiao fans, but he picked the wrong fight against the wrong person at the wrong time.
Asia’s fiercest and bravest warriors live in Mindanao, the only unconquered island in the Philippines. If there are places controlled by Spanish during their colonial rule on the island it’s just a small part of it. Manny no doubt has a warriors blood of the Mindanaoan’s — that is, fearless. He’s not afraid to talk in english despite lacking fluency. He’s not afraid to sing in front of millions despite being not good at it. He’s not afraid to run in public office despite having no sufficient political knowledge. He’s just not afraid of anyone or anything because COURAGE dwells in his heart and a maharlika blood runs through his veins.
Hey, maybe I should write something bad about pacman so I could get so much attention. So far Perez is the most successful in doing so and he is enjoying his ride on Pacman’s fame. Long live to Perez!
Perez: This is the same thing that you said of Manny when he fought ODLH and Hatton. So that’s great, you have a good vision of the future. I wonder, did you see Manny retiring after “Cotto slaughter him” in this fight? Cause you missed to predict it on ODLH and Hatton fights.
YOU HAVE REALLY NO RIGHT TO WRITE AT ALL!!!
This article is full of S_ _T. The writer don’t know what his writing, VERY STUPID!!! Words of advice, stop writing if you don’t know about what you’re writing. Just watch and enjoy Manny’s Speed and Power in the ring, you’re better just a plain audience than a writer. Actually with the way you write, other audiences can analize better about the fighter than you are, so you have REALLY NO WRITE TO WRITE AT ALL!!!
Who? Man have you seen him? Hes ready to fight and doesnt have to be scared of Cotto.. Get right. Cottos the one thats gets scared when he hears Mannys name..
When Manny is nervous, he is more dangerous!! The fight will never go beyond 4 rounds… Cotto will be brutally knocked out!!!
The secret to Freddie Roache’s prediction that Manny will KO Miguel in the first round…….Here it goes…The bell rings…The fighters meet at ring center, touches gloves…Manny says to Miguel “Look Your Shoe Laces Are Undone”…Miguel Looks…Manny throws a blinding right hook to Miguels left chin…Bang, Down & Out goes Miguel like Hatton, KO…10 seconds into round 1……
THE NEW WBO WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD & STILL THE BEST EVER POUND 4 POUND KING…Aloha
in fact the two boxers are strong contender. However, pacman uses head and shoulder shampoo supposedly antidote for cotto. he might be wrong coz it is for balakubak. Cotto shall not undermine the power of said shampoo coz eventually he will be knocked out. Cotto brings no antidote for pacman
I am serious with my comment this is not a joke. this is gonna be a bored fight, Cotto will take manny to school and show him how to box, this is a miss match. who ever think pac goin to beat cotto either is smoking something or just have miss something about how great cotto is. If cotto cant not knock him out he will easy win by decision, it wont be even close.
Tell me when to laugh!
Fear of whom? Well Mr. Perez surely does not know us FILIPINOS we do not fear anything. We fought the Japanese in World War II using BOLOS. We stopped Battle Tanks at EDSA using ourselves as human shields. We take routes to Iraq when no truck drivers dare to drive even near Iraq. As for Manny he would rather fight the Klitschko brothers in a boxing match than to go back in the days where he roam the streets of Manila with no food to eat and no shelter to rest on.
I am no boxer but if I would be given the same amount as Pacman would earn fighting Cotto then I will be all smiles AND NO FEAR AT ALL. That I think is also the same mentality for Manny in this fight. Nothing to loose everything to gain. Manny is the smaller guy challenging the Bigger Champion in Cotto. Now who do you think would feel nervous?
Nice job Mr. Perez…It seems you succeeded in generating a lot of attention with your article..although its purely laughable.lol Way to go, that’s how to get attention…lol
Yeah Right!
He’s nervous coz he may not be able to KO him in one round but in half round!
manuel perez ur stupid if u think pacquiao is scared… he juss fought de la hoya and diaz who is bigger than him..
Manuel Perez, were you bullied in school by a Pinoy??? On behalf of my people I apologise for those Pinoys that stole your milk and taco money…
Peereez : “The look of fear on Pacquiao’s face is a big concern for me. Pacquiao looks as if he’s ready to go to pieces even before the first punch is thrown”. “I mean, it’s going to be a slaughter anyway because Cotto is much bigger and more powerful than Pacquiao but it will be a lot worse if Pacquiao comes into the fight looking like a nervous wreck.”
You are hell of a writer. LOL. Wow, amazing stuff. I bet you are best doomsayer in history of boxing. Keep it up!

J.C my man! Cotto got “destroyd” by slow punching Margarito and Manny has been getting better with each fight, Cotto could not respond when Margarito had him hurt! How will he be able to respon to a much more quicker and accurate Paquiao? Her’x a saying for you: “Cotto va a coger la pela que se le perdió a macollo” ja…ja…ja…
pisti giuwat ra mu aning tawhana para mubasa mo sa iyang blog. para daghan mo visit sa iyang site.
Still cant get over of Manny Beating your hombres
Marquez… Marquez… Marquez…
Cotto likes to fight stooping down low because he don’t want to miss his opponent’s balls when the opportunity arises, i.e. when he is being tagged time and again by uppercuts and hooks. Margarito make him so dazed he can’t find his nuts when he needed to.
ha ha ha…you just never get tired…
Haha! Manuel “burrito exprez” Perez. You are writing again about boxing. Clearly, you are not good at it. I didn’t even read the rest of the article, I was scanning for anything that said Jalapenos and Tomatoes but it you have is crap, crap, and more crap. When are you going to start focusing more on the burrito and taco recipes?
It can’t be real. I thnk Perez is just trying to be comedy. WAR COTTO!!!!!
u better keep ur promise if Manny wins u stop writing cause ur articles F@@#@#N suck @@S
manny paquiao is not nervous instead it is manny perez hehehehe,Im not sure if he is related to the other perez who is the promoter of KOTO but one thing im pretty sure manny perez ur KOTO will be KNOCK OUT FLAT inside 5 rounds.
I don’t agree with much of what Perez says but I think this time he has a point about Pacquiao not looking great as well as getting manhandled in sparring. He IS looking and sounding unfocused. It’s too late now to have a good 2 weeks of training. Training inthePhilippines has been a disaster like Roach said it would and all this is Manny’s fault. Cotto will KO Manny inside of 10!! NO QUESTION ABOUT IT!
manny pacquiao the new DIAMOND BELT WBO WELTERDRAIN CATCHWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD.
Good fight, many wins because he will attack…cotto goes straight back when he is attacked. I don’t know if he will knock out cotto…but I know he will win in a close hard fought battle of two champions. 8 rounds to 4….if cotto trades with Pac…Cotto will up his chances to win…
Mother, let’s just pray for the win of my husband. Manny knows what he is up to and i know he will not let us down.
manuel perez really has a sense of humor…
P.S. if you want translation tell me
) you know who i’m talking to…
Manny is like a caged Tiger…can’t wait to stalk & kill his prey……because he’s HUNGRY…for MANNY PACQUIAO THE NEW WBO WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD & STILL THE BEST EVER POUND 4 POUND KING
You are crazy PR,you dont know anything about PacMan and you are telling everyone that Manny is worried about this fight…you are dead wrong Mr. Perez whatever you name is!!!!
i will kill you!!!
curious as to how you know he looks nervous? do you see him on a regular basis. have you ever seen manny train in the flesh? please answer these questions as it seems like your surmising these ideas purely of the top of your head.
ayayayay man you Pac fans are gonna be upset Nov 14th. thats all i have to say.
Dream on Cotto fans. I know Cotto is not underestimating the smaller Manny because he knows what Manny can bring. The problem is the fan like Mr. Perez that says bad things about Manny I wonder why you hate him so much. Maybe because you loss a lot of money betting against him since Barrera and now once again you’re putting all your money on Cotto just make sure you don’t sell your house because your family will kill you for that. You’re writing that Manny is nervous while you are the one who is because you might end up sleeping in the steets after this. You are conditioning your mind that Manny is going to lose because the truth is your balls are already turning into raisins. Poor Guy!
P.R. for life, Cotto will win that day not matter what, and for all those puertoricans that going for Pac F**k you all. you aren’t trully one, and you need move fhillipins or what ever is.
Packy esti un obsedat de Pacquiao, nimic nu ai in cap. Exact ca Manuel Perez. Insa fiecare in felul lui.
Packy esti un dobitoc!
im with manny, win or lose.. but i dont see the focus that he has in the golden boy and the hitman fights.. there’s too many distractions, the typhoons and politicians both.. i just wish manny trained earlier at wildcard, there he is focus very well.. i agree with coach roach that his training in Baguio and Manila did not help Manny at all.. sure he made some fans happy, but i’ll be happier if he trained from afar, with total focus.. by then i’ll be more confident with my man Manny.. go manny, go team pacquiao, go noypi!
if manny is nervous its only gonna make him prepare better and train harder,,,he looked nervous with hatton before the fight but when he got in the ring and started trading he turned into an animal,,,think we,ll see the same thing here,calzaghe was nervous before he trounced jeff lacey,,,if this goes the distance manny,s gonna take it,,,,cotto gets tired,late on and manny knows that,,,it just depends wether he can fend cotto off early on,,,not sure weights a big problem for manny,he seems to be able to move up easily and take his strengh and speed with him,this is true then cotto,s in for a hard night,,,because i cant see manny tiring,,he be ready for 12 hard hard relentless rounds,,,,hard fight to pick a winner,,but i will say cotto,s a much better boxer than manny,and thats what cotto needs to do,,,it him hard early on then start boxing him through the mid to late rounds,,,
Perez-Your so good at writing BS articles I bet you could actually get paid to write for star or the national inquirer. You don’t write about boxing you write what you think will get you hits. The sport doesn’t need writers like you.
here COMES MANUEL “IDIOT” PEREZ AGAIN…THE ONLY PERSON ON EARTH WHO’S DUMBER THAN A NON LIVING THING..
We r not in Vegas
You should bet in Vegas and help increase Cotto’s odds in that way you will help me win some more.
Convince your PR friends to bet on Cotto too!
How much u got?
Wanna bet money on it?
ok lets wait till nov14th. an see if packywacky wins!
Yes. That’s right! You watched most or all of his fights your a Cotto fan and you know what I’m talking about.
He will not scramble Manny’s eggs this time.
Manny will squash all the lice (kuto) one by one until the lice no longer infects the ring.
beat beat beat pac pac pac looooool
Yes he is not a warrior but he’s a dominating egg beater!
Let’s just wait Nov. 14 if he can dominate what he can’t catch.
Cotto has 7 fights where he was in trouble in Round 1 and all the boxers who gave him that trouble where in no way comparable to Manny’s speed and punching power and volume. Manny will never tire like those others who were winning in the beginning and then emptied their gas tanks.
In those worst beatings Cotto managed to break the momentum of the attack using his famous left hook on the balls of his opponents.
May the best pound for pound fighter wins!
Pacquiao = pounds his opponent’s
Cotto = pounds his opponent’s balls
We are not saying that pacman is not a Warrior.ok cotto is no warrior he just dominates them!
This may be a slow week at this website. So they brought in their heavy hitter, Manuel Perez.
His articles serve no useful purpose – no new information, no analytical insight. His stories are so bereft of logic, so ludicrous. The man is so comical, but you don’t want to laugh, you want to punch his face.
ZIRA – that’s funny because Manuela Perez doesn’t get paid. No writers on this site get paid to write, they’re all just fan’s like you and me…now you may want to ask yourself…If Manuela Perez doesn’t get paid, then why does he write so many articles? The answer my friend is because he has no friends, no life, and probably hasn’t gotten laid since his mom took him to the Bunny Ranch in Vegas when he turned 18.
let’s talk about the next challengers of pacman.
this writer should be fired from this website. he is always putting down certain fighters. i dont even want to type his name. we need someone who really is a boxing expert to replace him.YOUR FIRED.
We are not talking about if he could be beat or not, what we are discussing is that Manny is nervous for his fight with Cotto.
The guy is a warrior win or lose he gives his all on his fights.
Manny grew up in a violent area in the Philippines (Mindanao) and it is safer to fight in the boxing ring than walk around his neighborhood. That’s why his mansion is surrounded by bodyguards with high caliber weapons.
That’s why Manny has “No Fear”, he is desensitized on the violence around his place. Why did he lose courage because he switched to Nike instead of No Fear gear? Hehehe
Pacman will be fighting cotto. who is no rookie 34wins 1defeat ????????????????. for some reason people think pacman walks on water.he could be beat just like any other fighter.
Tang-ina nitong si Perez eh mas ligtas ka pang lumaban sa loob ng boxing ring kesa maglakad sa lugar ni Pacquiao eh. Kaya nga puro di high power na baril ang mga bodyguards ni Manny sa paligid ng mansyon niya sa GenSan.
Kaya nga No Fear si Manny eh, sanay sa patayan. Bakit dahil ba lumipat na sya sa Nike? Hindi na No Fear? Hehehe
That was a good one nepster!
aba’y sira ang tok tok ng kenkoy na ito a?..dapat sa sabong ng manok ka nagccommentary. hindi sa laban ng mga totoong malalakas at matatapang na lalaki.
“It was bad, because Pacquiao couldn’t look into Hatton’s eyes and looked really submissive and not at all confident. I’ve seen a gillion weigh-ins before, but never have I seen a fighter get stared down as badly as Hatton did to Pacquiao.”- Manuela Perez before the Pacquiao Hatton fight…LOL.
you sir are an idiot.Just wait till tomorrow.I know who you are and where you are.
when the fight betweem manny and hatton was approching mr. perez also told us that manny looked nervous in the picture. if so, there is a danger that history repeats itself.
Miguel will win easily, convincingly, and quickly.
Pacquiao will go down in a wreckage of defeat. I guarantee that.
i am a migel cotto fan but manuel perez you are just to much man
and the new WELTERDRAIN CHAMPION OF THE WORLD manny the demanding pacquiao. hahaha
pacman was not nervous but he was getting whopped in sparring but hopefully by fight night he will be ready- if not then its his fault for all those distractions in his country!
manuel perez doesn’t know that pacman is getting his power from 3 typoons, that how strong he is now.
If manny wasn’t nervous going into the fights with delahoya and hatton what makes you think hes nervous for the cotto fight.
No wonder you’re with Miguel Cotto…your sister Bryan works for him….Comprendo…………
wow how clever of you perez
its Mr. Perez who is very nervous now that why when he look at Pacman his eyes is already hit by the right and left of manny pacman hands.Anything that mr. perez predict is in the opposite side of the coin. he never predicted correct since he write his rubbish article.
Fehr:
If you are a puertorrican, you know the meaning of “CATIMBA” . That’s Manny’s future.
Manny is not nervous, he and his team are confident about this fight and that’s the real problem here. Many people believe Manny Paquiao have super powers, we will see about that.
Ja…Ja…Ja…. This article made me laugh! I think that Manuel Perez is a puertorrican like me and his writtins are more of a “Wishfull thinking” thing than an objective opinnion! I personaly think that Cotto will reciieve the second K.O of his carrer.
Aling Dionisia who? What the f**k is this, please.
My son is nervous because he is thinking about Cotto’s career if he KO him in round 1. My son is worried because this fight might end up Cotto’s career. I know my son very well and i know he will be too much for this gentleman of Puerto Rico.
What you thought you saw was a very intense Manny Pacquiao…he has the look of a predator ready for the KILl…………..aloha
MANNY PACQUIAO….THE NEW WBO WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD; USA, UK, MEXICO & PUERTO PICO…& STILL THE BEST EVER POUND 4 POUND KING…WHICH WILL NEVER BE DUPLICATED IN A THOUSAND YEARS….YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
