THEY BET ON COTTO AND WON. Two fighting cock breeders won in their bets on Miguel Cotto whom Manny Pacquiao pummeled black and blue. “Nipusta mi nga dili ma KO si Cotto sud sa unom ka rounds,” one of the two cockers said. “Ug nidaug mi kay nakalahutay man si Cotto hangtod round 12.”
MISUNDERSTANDING. But there was a misunderstanding that nearly resulted in a fistfight. The losing bettor insisted that he won because Cotto was down in rounds 3 and 4. A former police man settled the issue by explaining that a “knockdown” is different from a “knockout.” And the betting was on a “knockout.”
