Miguel Cotto v Yoshihiro Kamegai

[Batman]

This is the real boxing match this weekend and should be what we will be discussing. It is on box nation.

I didn't think we were allowed to talk about this fight.

What do we know about Kamegai? I know he fought guererro a few years back but that's about it.

I doubt it, I don't think it warrants staying up for, I'm normally up at about 5am so I'll record it and stick it on then.

What other Boxing is on then?

I'll for sure watch it but I was never too interested in the fight to begin with. Cotto is long past his best and Kamegai really isn't that great. It has potential to be a fun fight but at his age, I doubt Cotto will want to really engage at all.

I was rewatching Cotto v Canelo and Miguel did not want to engage and went through the motions. I think he is just looking for one last pay day.

BoxNation add two World class fight cards with Puerto Rican great Cotto v Kamegai and Berchelt v Miura



Boxing legend Miguel Cotto’s ring return on August 26th against the ever-exciting Yoshihiro “El Maestrito” Kamegai will be shown exclusively live on BoxNation.

As part of ‘The Channel of Champions’ exclusive output deal with Golden Boy Promotions, BoxNation are pleased to announce the addition of Cotto-Kamegai, as well as a cracking card on July 15th with WBC super-featherweight world champion Miguel Berchelt headlining.

Mexican Berchelt will make his first title defence against former champion Takashi Miura, with Bernard Hopkins’ conqueror Joe Smith returning to take on the Miami-based Sullivan Barrera in a heavy-handed slugfest.

Both these fights cards are set to be all-action affairs, with Puerto Rican great Cotto’s bout to be for the vacant WBO super-welterweight world title and taking place at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

The only four-division world champion in the rich history of Puerto Rican boxing, Cotto will be out to show why he still has so much to give at the 154-pound weight class and will be looking to add Kamegai’s name to an outstanding list of opponents he has beaten.

“I’m very excited to be back and showcase a high level fight for the fans,” Cotto said. “Kamegai is a great, tough fighter, but I will be ready for him and to capture the world title. I can’t wait to start training for this fight and get back in the ring on August 26.”

Kamegai is known as one of the highest-action fighters in the sport having engaged in a fight of the year candidate against Jesus Soto Karass in 2016 and taking champions and contenders including Robert Guerrero, Alfonso Gomez and Johan Perez into deep water.

“I fully understand who I am going to be in the ring against, but Cotto’s record and history won’t matter once we are toe-to-toe,” Kamegai said. “I am looking forward to giving fans the kind of aggressive fight that they have seen from me before and having my arm raised in victory.”

For his clash on July 15th at Los Angeles' "Fabulous" Forum, Berchelt will be looking to keep his 10-fight consecutive knockout streak going following his impressive stoppage over Francisco Vargas in January, in which he claimed the 130-pound world title.

"I took on this challenge because I only want to fight the best," Berchelt said. "I know that Miura is a true warrior and always leaves it all in the ring, but I am young and hungry and am confident that I will return to Mexico with the world championship belt still around my waist."
Miura, one-half of the consensus 2015 Fight of the Year with Vargas, returns after a dynamic 12th-round stoppage against Miguel Roman.

"I have wanted to regain my championship belt from the moment I lost it in November of 2015," Miura said. "I know Berchelt is strong, and I know that we'll go head-to-head for this world championship title that will prove to be a great fight."

Gonzales v Julio on in a 10 rounder

[Spicoli]

Getting the red headed step child of a card going with Rey Vargas 29-0 facing Ronny Rios 28-1 for a super bantam trinket. They may not be divas, but bet they put some leather together .

[Spicoli]

Like Vargas in 1st with some seriously long power shots to body-head. For a freakish frame he puts it together well.

Vargas v Rio's on now

What do we know about Kamegai? I know he fought guererro a few years back but that's about it.

He's here to make Cotto look strong and back in full force, which I think will be the case if Cotto gets the jab unpacked. Odd though as Cotto has signed new deal with GBP but earlier in week said he is for sure done by years end

[Batman]

Yeah I read that he was going to have one last fight in December and then retire, I hope that is what he does, the bloke has had a great career and surely he's got himself enough money to live comfortably now.

[GaMo]

Should be an easy win for Cotto. Just looking at their fights with Gomez
Suggests that Kamegai will do well to go the full 12 rounds let alone win.
