Odds had installed Filipino Manny Pacquiao as a 2-1 favorite in his scheduled 12-round November 14 face off with Miguel Cotto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.Now, even the surveys appear leaning on a Pacman win four months from now.
In an online poll conducted by ESPN boxing, at least 54 percent of the 38,011 people who voted see the 12-round fight ending in a knockout victory for the 30-year old General Santos City native.
People surveyed were asked the question ‘How will the Miguel Cotto/Manny Pacquiao match up be decided?’
Pacquiao being unbeaten the last four years and his impressive showing against former world champions David Diaz, Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton may have a lot to do with the high number of votes going for a KO win by the current world top pound-for-pound fighter.
His bout with the 28-year old Cotto also marks just the second time the Pacman is fighting above 140 pounds, the first being his December 6 showdown with De La Hoya which ended in a brutal eight round technical KO win.
In contrast, 21 percent believe Cotto will deliver a KO victory against the Filipino ring icon.
The Puerto Rican, reigning World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion, is coming off an unimpressive 12-round split decision victory against Joshua Clottey of Ghana at the Madison Square Garden in New York.
Even those who see the fight going the distance, Pacquiao still registered the higher percentage at 16 percent compared to the eight earned by Cotto.
Only one percent voted that the bout will end in a decision. – GMANews.TV
