Miguel Cotto celebrates a hard fought victory (GettyImages)
Ever since the ink dried on the Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito contract everyone associated with boxing has called this a can't-miss. The heavy-handed Cotto is undefeated (32-0) and rarely dissapoints viewers. Margarito wanted this fight so badly he had to vacate his IBF title belt to get a crack at Cotto and his WBA Welterweight title belt. The Mexican veteran will be the most aggressive fighter Cotto has faced. This match up has been dubbed "The Battle" and all indications are that it will live up to the hype. Bottom line is that these two are two of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world. Don't miss it!
UNDERCARDS: Giovanni Segura vs. Cesar Canchila, 12 rounds, for interim WBA junior flyweight title; Michael Alvarado vs. Cesar Bazan, 10 rounds, junior welterweights; Bernabe Concepcion vs. Adam Carrera, 10 rounds, junior featherweights; "Kid Diamond" Almazbek Raiymkulov vs. Ernest Johnson, 10 rounds, lightweights; Jesus Rojas vs. TBA, 8 rounds, junior featherweights
