The tale of the tape is complete after today’s weigh-in of the Philippines’ pride, Manny ‘Pacman’ Pacquiao and Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas. Am sure everyone’s waiting with bated breath for the outcome of the much-awaited fight. And am sleeping early to catch it at 8 a.m. tomorrow, November 15, Manila time The tale of the tape (pre-fight measurements) show Cotto is taller, younger and heavier, but never underestimate the speed and the power of Pacquiao.
