HBO Sports held a fan vote to decide which classic fights they would want to see air on the HBO2 service leading up to the super welterweight world championship fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr and Miguel Cotto.
The fans have chosen two riveting showdowns that highlight defining moments in the careers of both superstars.
On Friday, April 27 at 10:15 p.m. (ET/PT) and Saturday, April 28 at 12:00 p.m. (ET/PT), HBO2 will replay Mayweather vs. Diego Corrales from 2001 and Cotto vs. Shane Mosley from 2007.
Mayweather, in one of the defining fights in his young career, dominated a much bigger Corrales and knocked him down five times en route to a 10th round TKO in January 2001.
Meanwhile, Cotto out-jabbed and out-boxed Mosley, one of the best pound for pound greats, winning a 12-round decision to remain undefeated in November of 2007.
Both fights will be available 24 hours a day to HBO On Demand subscribers from Monday, April 23 through Monday, May 7 as well as on HBO GO.
Mayweather vs. Cotto takes place Saturday, May 5 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View beginning at 9:00 p.m. ET/ 6:00 p.m. PT.
