Pacquiao vs Cotto Live Feed

Once again HBO has released the 2nd episode of the Pacquiao vs Cotto pre-fight behind the scenes look on both camps. Again, the episode starts with the Pacman’s side of the story.

As before, Team Pacquiao was put in a bad light as the episode implies that the team is in disarray and that the Pacman is not at all focused in his training. Glimpses of the previous episode was shown where Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach had a minor argument with Pacquiao on the training venue. The 2nd episode also shows his sparring partners taking control of him which implies his unfocused effort on the training at hand. But all these changes when the Pacman flew to LA for the last part of his training. The place had less distractions and Pacquiao was able to train and focus as his coach wanted.

On the other hand, Cotto’s camp is shown as hard-working and ready with the strategies and tactics needed to defeat the worlds pound for pound king. Coupled with family love and affection, this seems like the perfect recipe for a win. His camp is not without discord though as they have to go against the wishes of his uncle. This family “problem” do not seem like a distraction as Cotto has been focused on his training more than ever.

Watch the HBO Pacquiao-Cotto 24/7 Episode 2 below:

In preparation for the ultimate showdown between Philippine’s Manny Pacquiao and Puerto Rico’s Miguel Cotto, HBO is slowly building our appetite for the upcoming match between the 2 boxing titans.

The documentary series starts with Pacquiao and the plight of the Philippines. The Pacman’s country has been hit hard by multiple consecutive super typhoons that brought the people to its knees. Many have died and once again Pacquiao is dedicating this fight to his brave countrymen.

On the other hand, Cotto’s side is shown in a “familiar” way as members of his family is shown one by one. Cotto is depicted as someone who lives the good life with a happy family and a bunch of friends. He enjoys himself while training hard. Take note though that leisure doesn’t mean lax as he is out for the kill and has something to prove himself.

Watch the documentary’s episode 1:

Miguel Cotto, Puerto Rican pride, is the WBO welterweight world champion. He won the title in February, 2009, and has ever since made a fierce defense of his title.

His last fight was against Joshua Clottey and it certainly was an interesting fight. Miguel Cotto suffered an early headbutt injury but lasted until the final round. He won the fight by points and retained his belt. The scores are as follows:

Don Trella -116-111 , in favor of Cotto
McKaie – 115-112, in favor of Cotto
Tom Miller -114-113, in favor of Clottey

His next fight is against Filipino pride, “Pambansang Kamao”, Manny Pacquiao who is out to get his belt for his sixth one. If Manny succeeds in doing so, then that would be history made for a boxer who is able to acquire 6 belts in different weight categories.
