Pacquiao vs. Cotto: Round by Round Results


Now there can not be any doubt that Manny Pacquiao is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, after his display on Saturday with a dominating victory over world welterweight champion Miguel Cotto.
Manny stopped the Puerto Rican at 55 seconds of the 12th round at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Pacquiao is the only fighter ever history to win seven titles in seven weight classes, he put Cotto on the canvas twice and by the end Cotto was bleeding from cuts near both eyes as well as from his nose.
As the bell went for the start of the fight a huge roar went up from the crowd. Cotto startled Pacquiao with a shot to the head. It seemed in the early rounds every time Cotto threw a punch Pacquiao had moved from that spot. Cotto in the third went down on one knee with more of a stumble than a punch; however in round four, Cotto this time, went all the way down from a hard left to his chin.
Pacquiao continued to dominate the fight, and by round 7 the fight of the year was becoming the Manny show. By round 12 the fight was but over for Cotto, the referee stops the fight with 2 minutes left as Cotto was finished.
