Miguel Cotto wants to beat Pacquiao
He’s determined, let’s just put it that way.
The Manny Pacquiao – Miguel Cotto fight is on this Saturday and as far as the reigning WBO welterweight champion is concerned, he’s ready to knock the living daylights out of Pacquiao.
How focused is he to beat Manny Pacquiao? He already got to Las Vegas earlier than usual to ”familiarize himself with the atmosphere” there. I mean, how crazy is that? Now I don’t know how familiarizing yourself with the atmosphere can help him inside the ring come Saturday but I am rooting for this dude.
”If he thinks he is going to win seven titles in seven weight divisions now, he has picked the wrong moment, the wrong fighter and the wrong opponent,” Miguel Cotto said. ”If he thinks he is going to win the seventh title against Miguel Cotto, he is very wrong.”
Yep, Cotto will be out to shock the world and finally put an end to Pacquiao’s reign of terror. Freddie Roach says he has money on Pacquiao knocking Cotto out in the first round but as far as Cotto is concerned, he is simply isn’t concerned about what Roach says at this point.
”Forget about Freddie Roach,” Cotto said. ”The only thing Freddie can do is train Manny. He can’t go over the ropes and into the ring to fight against Miguel Cotto. He can only train Manny the best he can.”
”He may say and think Manny will knock me out but at the end of the day, it is just Manny and Miguel Cotto in the ring.”
”No matter what kind of things Freddie Roach says before the fight, I have a very strong mind. The psyche game? I’m not going to follow that game.”
”What they say and what they do does not concern me,” Cotto added. ”They know what they have in front of him. He better be focused on what they will have in front of him in Miguel Cotto.”
”Once I beat Manny Pacquiao they can continue their plans and do what they want but I am not going home without winning this fight.”
