Okay...offa Miranda & onto one of me top 5'ers...Cotto.

Personally...I hope that he doesn't fight all stupid for the people this time like he did against Corley. Going for the KO so early is stupidity...any thoughts?

Fighters faced off Wednesday at the final press conference for Saturday's huge fight card at the Coliseo Roberto Clemente in San Juan, Puerto Rico. "I here to defend my title at home with a lot of force and energy," stated WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto (28-0, 23 KOs). "I am very well prepared, just as in previous fights. I'm going to defend my crown and flag, and we are going to get victory number 29 for Miguel Cotto and all of Puerto Rico." Mandatory challenger Urkal (38-3, 11 KOs) promised to give Cotto a boxing lesson. "I had to wait 18 months for this fight and I am prepared. I hope to give him my best showing in the ring."


Sounds confident...let's just hope that he boxes like the Cotto of old instead of trying to be the Trinidad of new.

Puerto Rico needs a new champion...but they don't need a one trick poney...neither does the boxing community...Cotto is someone that we can all get behind & enjoy the ride...& I mean that in a totally NOT CUTEMICK way.
