Making History, Breaking Records
What more can you say about the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto that already hasn’t been said about landing on the moon, taking down the Berlin Wall, or inventing the light bulb. OK, maybe it’s a stretch to compare the beat down of Miguel Cotto to the fall of the Berlin Wall, but to Filipinos and boxing fans alike, Saturday night’s victory over the welterweight champion was utterly epic.
It was a fight that solidified Manny’s place in the upper echelon of boxing’s greats, from Jack Johnson to Sugar Ray Robinson to Muhammad Ali. It was a fight that placed Manny into America’s conscience and media mainstream. It was a fight that unified an entire island country, stopping all crime, and helped forget the recent tragedies that befell them in the past few months. It was a fight that topped all fights.
So why bother adding more cliches and unnecessary text into an indescribable event. Let’s look at video highlights from the fight along with photos:
