My brother, Bruce, ordered the fight and threw a party over his place the other night. This fight here was a fight to be seen. We've seen a good number of fights but we have not seen a GOOD fight in a while. Initially, I wasn't too sure about who would win because it looked as if Pacquiao's punches weren't effecting Cotto. But good gracious! After a while, Cotto could not figure out how to contain Pacquiao.
Pacquiao, who fought at 144 pounds Saturday, the heaviest he ever had weighed for a fight, dominated Cotto virtually from start to finish. He showed Cotto no mercy as he pounded away and eventually put the Puerto Rican champion away to become the first boxer to win seven world titles in seven weight classes.
Cotto (34-2), who earned $4 million, paid homage to Pacquiao in defeat.
