I thought it was great fight and Pacman certainly suprised me with his strength. I thought Cotto would take him out before the 8th round.

It was an awesome display by Manny, he never really looked troubled despite taking some decent shots.

Cotto was a mess at the end, but I guess his pride after the Margarito fight had something to do with him carrying on.

I know that he was losing, but I thought he was doing OK in many of the rounds DESPITE shipping the heavier punishment.

Does anyone know what the judges scorecards were going into that last round?

not sure how the judges had it but here is my card at the time of the stoppage:

1 - 10-9 cot
2 - 10-9 pac
3 - 10-8 pac
4 - 10-8 pac
5 - 10-9 cot
6 - 10-9 pac
7 - 10-9 pac
8 - 10-10 even
9 - 10-9 pac
10 - 10-9 cot
11 - 10-9 pac

total 107 - 101 to manny pacquaio at end of the 11th

I gave Cotto the first and maybe the 10th.

Pacman was awesome, quite simply.

pacman was unreal..we are watching one of the greatest ever

i gave cotto 3 rounds.manny was pure class

judges scores were 99-109, 99-108, 100-108

Pacquiao was brilliant Cotto couldnt deal with his speed and he looked so strong

Great guts by Cotto but he couldnt deal with Pac-Man

I gave Cotto 2 rounds but I could be persuaded to make it 3.

I gave Cotto 3 rounds

Interesting. I would go beyond that & say we are, possibly, watching the greatest ever! I've never seen another fighter like Pacman, NEVER!

I had it exactly the same. Amazing performance. Should of had Roach Santiago on the undercard rather than the frankly bizarre Chavez Jr.

I had Pac man winning it comfy at probably

9-10 cott
10-9 pac
10-9 pac
9-8 pac (pac winning it by knock down)
9-10 cott
10-9 pac
10-9 pac
9-10 cott
10-9 pac
10-9 pac
10-9 pac

so the final score up to round 11 of 106-101 but what I hated is the stupid Sky Sports commentating, god they annoyed me ! Every time Cotto threw any decent [unch or combo or managed to make Pac miss they said nothing about how well he was doing but everytime Pac threw anything they were shouting out about how great he is and how it should be stopped and how cotto had no chance.

Ok I know Cotto was being outclassed but he did have quite a few competitive rounds and towards the end he was punching and moving and Jim Watt was still saying that he was heavy footed and standing still! They were awfull for the Haye fight and they were awfull for this one I hope Sky sort out some new commentators who actually commentate on the fight rather than banging on about how someone looks.
