preview
Cotto (35-2, 28 KOs) remains one of the world's best fighters and biggest attractions. The three-division titleholder bounced back from a one-sided beating against Manny Pacquiao to win a junior middleweight title stopping Yuri Foreman in June -- and the promise of more lucrative matchups. There's talk of a rematch with Antonio Margarito, who stopped Cotto in 2008, if he can get past Mayorga (29-7-1, 23 KOs). The 37-year-old Nicaraguan hasn't had much success in recent years, having gone 4-4 in last eight fights and losing consistently to big-name opponents. But his ability to sell a fight with his never-ending trash talk is a promoter's dream. He also shouldn't be counted out. He'll have a significant size advantage over Cotto and his awkward style has given more than one elite opponent problems. He also seems to be in better shape than usual for this fight. Cotto, 30, is the favorite because he has youth and much better skills on his side. On the undercard, the Miguel Vazquez-Leonardo Zappavigna (Lenny Zappa) and Foreman-Pawel Wolak fights are both good matchups.
Rating the card:B+. The decision to offer Ricardo Mayorga this fight was a reach given his recent track record but the trash-talking Nicaraguan has given the promotion life with his mouth. Same for the reunion of Bob Arum and Don King. Cotto might win easily but it has been fun.
Prediction: We want to give Mayorga a decent chance to win based on his size advantage, awkward style and (in the case) good conditioning. We can't, though. He hasn't looked good in a fight in years. Cotto might be on a slight decline but he remains an elite talent and seems to be rejuvenated a bit under Emanuel Steward. Cotto by late KO.
