FREDDIE ROACH: "WE'RE GOING TO KNOCKOUT COTTO"
Despite the fact that contracts have yet to be signed by either fighter, world-renowned trainer Freddie Roach has already come on record to give his prediction regarding the highly-anticipated clash between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto. "We're going to knockout Cotto," he informed Carlos Gonzalez of Primera Hora.
"I don't have anything bad to say about Cotto. I believe he's an excellent athlete that is always well-prepared for his fights, but I have trust in the abilities of Manny and I believe that we're going to knockout Cotto", Roach stated during a telephone interview. Indeed, Roach is no stranger to making accurate predictions when it comes to Manny Pacquiao as he correctly foretold the 9th round stoppage of David Diaz. He also confidently predicted that Pacquiao would knockout both Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton, although he was technically off by one round in both bouts.
"Without doubt, there will be a war! Manny and Miguel have many similarities in their styles, but the speed of Manny will be too much for Miguel", Roach continued. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Freddie Roach knows boxing and given his recent track record when it comes to Pacquiao's fights, you would be wise to listen to his analysis. If you've ignored his predictions in the past, this time, maybe you shouldn't! Don't be afraid to lay some money down on Manny Pacquiao by stoppage!
