Lance Pugmire's round-by-round assessment of the Manny Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto welterweight title fight:

ROUND 1 

* What happened: After a soft touch of the gloves, Cotto lands a jab. Cotto flashes powerful lefts to the face, and he's strongly defending his head. Pacquiao sneaks in a left, but Cotto throws a combo to the body. Cotto lands a double-jab to the head. Pacquiao tries a flurry but Cotto blocks it. 

* Pugmire's take: This is Cotto's formula to win. Can it last against Pacquiao's relentless reputation?

* The judges: Adalaide Byrd, 10-9 Cotto; Duane Ford, 10-9 Cotto; Dave Moretti, 10-9 Cotto.
