This is the continuation of my prediction of Miguel Cotto and Manny Pacquiao match.

Round 5

As the fight resumes Miguel's cut is the target of Manny's right cross more and more and Miguel will try to counter with solid left hooks. This round as in many of Manny's fight will see him slow down a little and Miguel will get more punches connect to Manny. But in the end the cut of Miguel will bleed profusely that his sight will be affected. Miguel will win this round but considering his cut and body pain he will feel tired and become slower. Miguel 10 Manny 9.

Round 6

In this round, Manny will be aggressive connecting more power punch left and right, connecting more double left jabs and right cross to the body. He will move more to the right circling Miguel and connecting 3 to 5 combos with the straight lefts at the end. Miguel will feel most of the hard punch on his body making him more weak and will try to backpedal to the ropes. On the second half of the round, Miguel will try to get his remaining strength to bale him out by connecting his vaunted left hook and Manny will stagger for a moment but continue his offensive. Manny will control this round landing hard punches effectively to the body and to the cut which will grow larger and bleeding. The ref will stop the fight and ask the doctor, which in turn signal the fight to resume. At the end Manny's quickness will make Miguel look very slow and flatfooted. Manny 10 Miguel 8

Round 7

This time Manny's assault will be one for the ages connecting more and more right hands with occasional left straights. It seems that the freight train called Pacman is already late and doing its best finish the fight but the man they called 'Junito' is showing guts and resiliency what he is known for. Miguel continue to fight backpedaling now and then throwing left straight and occasional hard rights but at the 2 minute mark a hard right cross will land to Miguel's cut which will bleed more and make it larger nearly the length of his eyebrow. The ref will halt the fight and call the attention of the doc. The doc will in turn look more thoroughly the bleeding gap and will declare the fight to stop. The crowd and the people at the ring will break into pandemonium shouting loudly as some will presume that the Pacman has won. Indeed the Pacman has won because the cause of the cut is by hard punches but then the score shows Manny was leading and there is no doubt he has won. Manny 10 Miguel 9

Final score Manny 68 Miguel 65

Manny wins by TKO on the 7th round

I hope you liked this little write-up. This is just a product of imagination and hopefully this will come into something near to the real thing. This is no offense  to Miguel Cotto's fans and I hope you also will write what you think will happen. Anyway this is just a prediction right?
