Pacquiao and Cotto's "Firepower Showdown

As expected, The Filipino champ, Manny Pacquiao easily made the weight limit on the "Firepower" showdown with Puerto Rican champion, Miguel Cotto on November 14, Saturday (November 15, Sunday in Manila) at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Manny didn't had a hard time to reach the weight limit. This is the heaviest weight ever for Manny, after he fought the legendary Oscar De la Hoya, in which he officially weighed 142 lbs.

On the other hand, the welterweight champion, Miguel Cotto officially tipped the scale at exactly 145 lbs. The natural 147 lbs. boxer was reported having struggles meeting the stipulated weight, and reportedly had to go on a diet to get down in 145 lbs.

Pacquiao reportedly plan to enter the ring at around 149 lbs. and trying to catch the seventh title and make a history in the boxing career. While Cotto is trying to enter the ring heavier than Pacquiao and will prevent Manny in getting the welterweight belt and in making the world record of having seven titles in different divisions.
