Who won in the Fire Power fight Paquiao vs Cotto?
Manny Pacquiao was delighted to have claimed another bigger opponent as a victim following his impressive 12th-round stoppage of welterweight title-holder Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas. The Philippines fighter added the Puerto Rican to big-name, big-frame scalps Oscar de la Hoya and Ricky Hatton taken over the last 12 months when he defeated WBO welterweight champion Cotto at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. It was another explosive display from pound-for-pound king Pacquiao, who 11 months ago had dismantled de la Hoya over eight rounds in his first fight at welterweight and in May staged a brutal second-round knockout of light welterweight kingpin Hatton. This time, fighting only his second bout at 145 pounds, the man who started his career at 107lbs marched to the 50th victory of his professional career with his 38th stoppage, the most recent of the 30-year-old’s three defeats having come at super featherweight to Erik Morales more than four years ago.
