[ STREAM HD ] Cotto vs Martinez Live Online HBO Boxing Video

[Natore007]

The HBO Boxing Cotto vs. Martinez PPV airs live on HBO PPV this Saturday, June 7. The show has a fight time of 9:00 p.m. ET / 6:00 p.m. PT



Weight is an interesting factor in this fight. Martinez is the longtime Middleweight kingpin, and has been fighting comfortably at 160 for some time. Meanwhile, Cotto is making the jump up to the division, having competed previously in divisions ranging from 140 - 154 pounds. If he pulls off the win here, he will be the first Puerto Rican fighter in history to win a world title in four different weight classes. It will be very interesting to see how the two men look on the scales tomorrow, as this could be a big factor in Sunday's fight.

Cotto (38-4, 31 KO) is moving up to middleweight for the first time, and the bout's 159-pound catchweight limit is really nothing more than Cotto enforcing a one-pound drop because he can. Martinez (51-2-2, 38 KO) is the defending champion, but also the B-side of the fight promotionally, and there are concerns about his health -- in particular, a bad knee -- as he hasn't fought since having physical issues against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in September 2012, and then Martin Murray in April 2013.
