Firepower fight of Manny Paquiao versus Miguel Cotto

The fight of the Philippine's boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao versus the Puerto Rico's tough Miguel Cotto is fast approaching. It's gonna be this coming November 14, 2009 in MGM Grand Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada. It is November 15, Sunday here in the Philippines at 8:00 o'clock in the morning. A lot of the boxing aficionados from Davao City predicted that the Pacman's prowess will prevail over the Puerto Rican toughie. What about you? Do you have any prediction or wild guess?
