Boxing

A community portal about Boxing with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Boxing, also called pugilism, prizefighting or the sweet science, is a sport and martial art in which two participants of similar weight fight each other with their fists in a series of one to three-minute intervals called "rounds". In both Olympic and professional divisions, the combatants avoid their opponent's punches while trying to land punches of their own. Points are awarded for clean, solid blows to the legal area on the front of the opponent's body above the waistline, with hits to the head and torso being especially valuable. The fighter with the most points after the scheduled number of rounds is declared the winner. Victory may also be achieved if the opponent is knocked down and unable to get up before the referee counts to ten or if the opponent is deemed too injured to continue. For record-keeping purposes, a TKO is usually counted as a knockout when calculating the total knockouts.

The Pacquiao-Cotto fight is fast approaching. All eyes are glued on the two boxing champions scrutinizing their every move in preparation for the upcoming firework fight. At this early stage, we have been assuming of who we think will win in the upcoming fight. To help us predict who will triumph on the fight, let’s compare and study the strength and weaknesses of these two warriors.

When it comes to speed, Manny Pacquiao has the advantage over Miguel Cotto. We have witnessed Pacquiao’s speed from his previous fight. He showed great speed even with higher weight classes such as De La Hoya and Hatton. Cotto on the other hand will show off his superior boxing skills. With his experience as junior welterweight, he will surely dominate the ring. Pacquiao is a dynamic offensive fighter while Cotto is a great fighter with heavy hands. When it comes to weight, team Pacquiao has an advantage over Cotto. Cotto needs to cut down his weight to 145 pounds and that would possibly leave him weaker. However, Cotto is more physically and mentally prepared than Pacquiao.

Still the big question remains unanswered. Who among them really have the edge on the fight? If we are going to track down their previous fight, both men showed greatness and superb boxing skill. Is there something new from these two boxers? Well, we really can’t answer that until fight night. This is indeed an exciting match that we should look up to.

For now, I am going to leave you with this question. Who do you think will win the fight? Pacquiao or Cotto?
