Cotto Confident, Prepares to Fight Mayweather

Miguel Cotto, WBA Super Welterweight World Champion, has been training hard over the past several months right here in Orlando at the Don Miguel Boxing Gym.

Cotto, who hosted a media workout at his training camp on South Orange Blossom Trail Tuesday, is preparing for his title defense against Floyd Mayweather on Saturday, May 5 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event will be produced and distributed live by HBO Pay-Per-View®.

Armed with his recent revenge victory over Antonio Margarito last December, to say Cotto is back would be an understatement. He has avenged his controversial loss in a definite manner and that boost of confidence might be all he needs to hand Mayweather his first loss.

Today, Cotto showed off his boxing prowess and exuded confidence, saying he is ready to face Mayweather.

“Ring Kings: Mayweather vs. Cotto,” is a 12-round fight promoted by Mayweather Promotions, Golden Boy Promotions and Miguel Cotto Promotions.

Also featured will be Canelo Alvarez vs. Sugar Shane Mosley, a 12-round fight for Alvarez’s WBC Super Welterweight World Championship which is presented in association with Canelo Promotions and Sugar Shane Mosley and a 10-round welterweight fight between undefeated rising star Jessie Vargas and perennial contender Alfonso Gomez. Opening the pay-per-view broadcast will be a 10-round bout between super welterweight contender DeAndreLatimore and former World Champion Carlos Quintana which is presented in association with DiBella Entertainment.

The mega event is sponsored by Corona, Hatfields&McCoys on HISTORY™, DeWalt Tools, AT&T, O’Reilly Auto Parts and Puebla-Cinco De Mayo and will take place Saturday, May 5 at 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.
