[H2O Man]

the HBO 24/7 special saw that Pac Man's trainer, Freddie Roach, was studying films of Cotto's fights. Roach noted that he is not looking for mistakes that Cotto makes, but rather, for habits. This is the essence of a great trainer.

Keep this in mind: after Cotto engages, especially starting in the middle rounds, he has a habit of stepping back and to his right, and lowering his guard at the same time he stands up straight. Now, this is not in and of itself a mistake. But it is a habit, and one that Manny will attempt to exploit. Pacquiao has very good foot speed; he only has to step quickly to his left, slightly forward, to take advantage of something that a slower opponent could not. Watch for it.
