Watch Pacquiao vs Cotto Live Weight Issues

Watch Pacquiao vs Cotto Live. When he was a junior welterweight, Cotto struggled for years to make the 140-pound limit, and it began affecting his performance then. He was hurt and dropped several times, most noticeable against Ricardo Torres who almost knocked him out. These performances were blamed on Cotto's inability to make the weight safely. At 143 it is obviously difficult for him to lose weight and adjust the training and during the his fight with Pacquiao he will really suffer a tough loss that's already been expected. If you need another example of what can happen to a weight-drained fighter, look no further than Oscar De La Hoya. Against Pacquiao, De La Hoya weighed in at 145 but only put on two pounds by fight time. He was unable to rehydrate himself properly, and had to receive several IVs. In the December fight, a sluggish De La Hoya was dominated and stopped after eight one sided rounds. That's the real evidence!!! Watch Pacquiao vs Cotto Live.
