After successfully defending his WBO Welterweight belt against Joshua Clottey, the Puerto Rican fighter Miguel Cotto next fight is against the Filipino superstar ant the best pound-for-pound king, Manny Pacquiao. The Pacquiao vs. Cotto match is scheduled on November 14, 2009 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas Nevada and can be watched also on HBO Pay per View. The Pound for Pound king already gave the signal to his promoter Bob Arum to set a fight for the WBO Welterweight title after the match of Cotto and Clottey last June. Both camp of Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto agreed to fight on 145 pounds, two below the welterweight limit and five above the light-welterweight category maximum weight limit. Although there are still finalizing all the papers to make this match materialize between the camp of Pacquaio and Cotto but this will sure to all boxing fans that the fight is still on. The Pacquiao vs. Cotto fight is another exciting match to watch. Pacman is known for his tremendous speed and punches in blinding combinations without tiring. Frankly speaking, Manny is that although he doesn’t have great boxing skills, his southpaw stance complements his style. He has a fast and powerful left straight that would often catch an orthodox fighter stunned or worst getting knockout. There is a fear present always in every Manny's opponents that they might get hit on the process of countering him. Pacquiao is a chaser and he's a damn great chaser. When he smells blood you will be his prey. Miguel Cotto is a very good boxer and tough also. He is a defensive-boxer and a counter-puncher. He has also a power to knockout his opponent, just what happen to Clottey on their match last June 13 at the Madison Square Garden. Cotto knockout Clottey in the first round of the match and Clottey couldn’t believe it. Cotto won on a split decision. Although Cotto has no speed against Pacquiao but he is tough man to beat. Pacquiao vs. Cotto would be a chance to see by all boxing fans at its best. I like these two fighters. They are the best in their own styles! It would be worth the wait and worth every penny. next fight is Mayweather vs. Pacquiao.
