UP next in about three weeks’ time for Manny Pacquiao is current World Boxing Organization welterweight king Miguel Angel Cotto.
Master promoter Bob Arum was sealed right after the Pacquiao-Oscar de la Hoya bout. Pacquiao himself agreed to the fight after he personally witnessed the Cotto-Joshua Clottey encounter which the pride of Puerto Rico won. And the world now braces itself for November 14 in Las Vegas.
The fight is very important for both gentlemen. A win by Pacquiao would further strengthen his place in boxing history as he would be annexing his seventh title. A Cotto victory, on the other hand, would provide the Puerto Rican with the much-needed resurgence in his career and the distinction of stopping the dominant Filipino’s streak.
Both are at the prime of their lives and careers. If Pacquiao loses, his retirement plans would definitely take another route. If it’s Cotto who yields, he could be hanging his gloves earlier than expected.
Preparations by both camps have moved to high gear as the fight date draws closer. So what is in store come fight day? READ MORE
