Commentators have started to refer to Manny Pacquaio as a 'Philippine Typhoon'. It's a bit of an obvious cliche. Yes, there are typhoons in the Philippines. And yes, Pacquiao is a fast. destructive fighter. Let's put the two together!
There is one thing this cliche does nail though: Pacquiao's unpredictability. This is one of his major weapons. Most fighters punch in a rhythm; Pacquiao doesn't. One moment he'll throw one punch. The next he'll launch about twenty. Combine that with his speed and, as Cotto said himself, you really don't know where the punches are coming from.
