Pacquiao vs. Cotto

November 14th - Top pound for pound boxers Manny Pacquiao & Miguel Cotto meet in the ring as Pacquiao vs. Cotto for his welterweight title in one of the biggest events in boxing history.


This night I was at Tavern United (Garden City location) with all my friends, literally sitting at the edge of my seat during this very intense 12 round match. I couldn't help but notice the photographers around the base of the ring. I was thinking “Wow! They must be getting amazing shots of this fight!” I was right!

The next morning I was surfing Facebook and came across this picture on my buddy’s profile! Of course he didn’t take the shot himself, and there was no tag on the picture so I didn’t want to post until I was able to give credit where it was due. Surfing the “images” tab in Google under “pacquiao cotto” in the seach images bar, I was able to find out that it was taken by Mark J. Terrill! Anyway, I just thought it was an amazing shot that captured one the great moments during the fight. Colors in this shot are amazing, and the feeling is so strong as Cotto gets up from a knockdown delivered by Pacquiao.
