Thursday, 4:50 p.m. ET -- Boxer Marcos Maidana's take
I have to say that even though this is the second time I am in Las Vegas, this is the first time that I can feel the real environment of a big fight. I am in Vegas training to defend my title on Nov. 21 in Argentina against Panama's William Gonzalez, but I cannot avoid the contagious feeling of a fight like the one between Miguel Cotto and Manny Pacquiao.
When I was asked about my opinion on this fight, I instantly thought that, in some way and even though I am not at the level of those monsters, it was a similar fight to my bout with Victor Ortiz in terms of style. For one, Cotto is strong but slower, just like me. And Pacquiao is faster, left-handed and moves a lot, but I don't know whether he will withstand the punishment, as it was the case with Ortiz.
In my case, the strategy was to overwhelm Ortiz so he couldn't take advantage of his greater mobility and speed. I had to try to pin him against the ropes and shorten the distances by throwing a lot of punches. I believe that's exactly what Cotto would have to do on Saturday. Pacquiao is used to throwing bombs from the very start, and that's where Cotto has to be careful, because that's where he can start falling apart. I don't believe Pacquiao can knock him out with one punch in this division, but he is capable of punishing him little by little. :00hour
In the end, I believe that Pacquiao's speed will be too much for Cotto. In boxing, punching power is not everything. I can say this from personal experience. I am a puncher, but sometimes I get complicated with an opponent that moves around a lot. And when they do, my punches don't hurt them as much. :scared
-- Marcos Maidana
Thursday, 3:50 p.m. ET -- Gomez on Cotto
Former "Contender" star Alfonso Gomez will open the pay-per-view with what promises to be an exciting fight against Jesus Soto Karass. I asked what he, as a former opponent of Miguel Cotto, thought of the main event:
"Miguel Cotto is very strong, a solid welterweight, but I see him as the slower of the two, and when he gets cut or hurt, he backs down a lot. [Manny] Pacquiao is fast, always in tip-top shape, he shows angles, he's always moving. He also carries that power, and when he gets cut or hurt, he gets hungrier. So I think Pacquiao has the edge.":00hour

Naturally, Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, has some feelings about the matter.
"If you see [Cotto's] fights pre-Margarito or post-Margarito, I think he's a different fighter," Roach said. "When you're undefeated and you're a world champion and you're knocked out for the first time in your life, it's going to affect you. How long? Everyone's different.
"I think his first fight back, he looked real bad. Second fight, he gained a little confidence. Third fight, if we give him confidence, he'll grow. If we make him go the other way, it'll be in our favor."
Fighters like Alexis Arguello, Meldrick Taylor and Jose Luis Castillo never got it back."

Keep em coming Scott. How about throwing up a couple of hotties just to break up the monotony.
Thought they both looked good at the weigh but thought Pacquiao was particularly impressive looking. He looks strong and he's still all striated yet healthy looking.

Pacquiao is a little savage. He's got a great, humble personality but he is a stone cold killer in the ring. And it's great that he separates the two so well.

Cant really tell anything from the weigh ins other than if they have put the work in.
Pacman may go down in history as one of the truly remarkable champions of our time. If he isnt already.
Pacman fights smart and has the ability to change things that arent working for him.
Cotto gets confused, has no corner help, gets cut or hurt, and this shit is TKO oiver.
GO PACMAN !:00hour

Roberto Duran predicted on Friday that the 12-round WBO welterweight title match between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto tomorrow will be “tough for both fighters.” Speaking to Filipino scribes at the Pacquiao-Cotto media center following the eventful official weigh-in, Duran, now 58-years-old, believes the fight will be decided in the later rounds since “Cotto will not expose himself as much as he used to.”
“This fight is going to be very hard for both sides so they’ll hold back the first few rounds. The key here is to use your brains a lot. Exposing yourself will not be the key,” said Duran, who turned professional in February 1968.
The Clottey fight furthered suspicions that Cotto may be in decline and the second half of the Margarito fight certainly didn't help. In the final five rounds Margarito outlanded Cotto 146-106 overall and 134-70 in power shots. Cotto was beaten, bloodied, battered and broken and few fighters can completely rebound from that sort of trauma.
