Another Brouhaha After the Pacquiao Fight
Another Brouhaha After the Pacquiao Fight

Miguel Cotto has been floored twice and beaten up like a tenderized meat only to show on the last rounds of the fight what cycling skills can give to a boxer inside the ring especially when pursued ruthlessly by no less than Manny Pacquiao like a hungry lion running after a sumptuous meal.  The streets of the Philippines were clear; [...]
