Mayweather vs Cotto is happening on May 5, 2012 at the MGM Grand in Gambling Capital of the world, Las Vegas – one of boxing’s biggest weekends. The Floyd Mayweather vs Miguel Cotto match-up has plenty to offer. Here's why?
- Mayweather (42-0, 26 KOs) is of course a flashy, outspoken seven-time world champion.
- Cotto (36-2, 29 KOs) is one of Puerto Rico’s biggest boxing superstars.
- Mayweather is known for his great footwork and speed as well as his unmatched boxing skills.
- Miguel Cotto has a lot of skills, himself.
For the Mayweather vs Cotto fight, both parties have agreed to undergo Olympic style drug testing – a precedent set by Mayweather himself. Mayweather will take on Cotto at 154 pounds, a step up in weight for the WBA super welterweight belt. Cotto is only 31 years old while Mayweather is 34. He is coming off a 10th-round knockout win over Antonio Margarito in December 2011. Meanwhile, Mayweather’s last fight was a 4th-round win over Victor Ortiz last September 2011. Both of the fighters surely won’t stop to find the weaknesses of the opponent, and will work on whatever strengths they have to win.
