It appears that WBO light welterweight champion Miguel Cotto will once again be heading back to his home country to defend his world title in front of his adoring fans. Cotto won the WBO title with a devastating performance against previously unbeaten Brazilian Kelson Pinto, a moment that remains as perhaps the highlight of Cotto's young career. Corley should provide a good test for the champion with his speed and southpaw style even if some may argue that Corley is damaged goods after losses to Zab Judah and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Corley will have to fight the hostile reception of the Puerto Rican fans though as he attempts to regain the WBO title that was once in his possession.
