Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto welterweight title bout

<h1>Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto welterweight title bout</h1>Author: <a title="Marco Antonio Morales" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/marco-antonio-morales/284325.htm">Marco Antonio Morales</a> Manny Pacquiao, the pride of the Philippines, and World Boxing Organization welterweight champ Miguel Cotto, Puerto Rico's favorite son, get together Saturday night in Las Vegas for what is expected to be the fight of the year. Watch Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto welterweight title bout live online. Pacquiao (49-3-2, 37 KOs), a champion in six divisions, brings his fearless style into another bout against a bigger, supposedly stronger, fighter. Pacquiao's last loss was to Erik Morales in March 2005. Since then, Roach has worked hard to make Pacquiao more of an all-around boxer rather than just a wild-swinging brawler. Pacquiao has been more than a willing disciple of Roach's tutelage. Had he not been, it's doubtful he would be where he is today. Cotto (34-1, 27 KOs) boasts the methodical punching prowess to wear out most opponents. Puerto Rican Cotto will defend his WBO welterweight crown against Philippine superstar Pacquiao, who knocked out Britain's Ricky Hatton in May. Cotto is the underdog for the bout but said he had been energised by his link-up with new trainer Joe Santiago. The televised undercard includes middleweight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (40-0-1, 30 KOs), son of the Mexican legend, against Troy Rowland (25-2, 7 KOs); Daniel Santos (33-2-1, 23 KOs) defending his WBA super welterweight title against Yuri Foreman (27-0, 8 KOs); and welterweight Jesus Soto-Karass (24-3-3, 16 KOs) against Alfonso Gomez (20-4-2, 10 KOs). If you enjoyed all 2 rounds that Pacquiao has fought in 2009 so far, then you are in for a treat because this one is going to go all 12 rounds if Cotto’s forehead doesn’t split open. The only problem with the whole thing is that the winner isn’t necessarily guaranteed a date with Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and may have to settle for Shane Mosley. There is no rematch clause in the fight contract, so this Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto welterweight title bout is a onetime deal.
