| Cotto vs Pacquiao Betting Preview |
History could be made on Saturday night when Manny Pacquiao fights Miguel Cotto at a 145 pound catch weight for the WBO Welterweight title which Cotto currently holds.. If Pac Man wins, it will be his unprecedented seventh world championship in a different weight class. In this day and age that is truly unbelievable. Cotto might be bigger and younger, but Pacquiao is faster and fearless and that should be a huge advantage for him in this bout. Pacquiao ,who hails from the Philippines ,has brought a legion of fans with him to the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and it will be rockin after the opening bell rings on Saturday Night. Cotto is coming off a hard fought decision over Joshua Clottey at Madison Square Garden this past June while Pac Man is coming of dominating Ricky Hatton this past May at The MGM furthering his case as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the World.. This fight almost didn't happen has Sugar Shane Mosley tried to lure Pacquiao to fight him after his win over Hatton, but Top Rank Boxing promoter Bob Arum always envisioned this match up and it makes the most sense for both fighters. If Cotto can score an upset he is in great position to make a case for one of the best fighters in the world while lifting up the entire island nation of Puerto Rico where he hails from. A Pacquiao victory just further establishes him as the best and most versatile fighter in the world , save Floyd "Money" Mayweather and almost guarantees that those two will meet in 2010 in what could be won of the biggest fights in recent boxing history. PREDICTION(1-5 BUSTER DOUGLAS DAIRY QUEEN BLIZZARD SCALE) 4.6 BLIZZARDS ON PACQUIAO/4 BLIZZARDS ON UNDER 9.5 ROUNDS-Paqcuiao is just too talented and too fast for Cotto, who himself is one of the better fighters around, but Pac Man is trying to enter his name into the All-Time greats with a convincing win here. He will not only get it done, but don't be surprised if Pac Man dominates this fight from start to finish. He is on a mission to be the best in the world and sees the huge fight with Mayweather on the horizon. Pacquiao's trainer Teddy Roach feels like he has the perfect game plan for Cotto and has been very impressed with his focus throughout training. Even though you have to lay almost 3-1 to take Pac Man , it is not only the best value , but with how good Pacquiao truly is , could actually be much higher. I see a Pacman KO around the 7th or 8th round.
