Cotto - Mayorga March 12 2011

Miguel Cotto vs Ricardo Mayorga Live Online Boxing Shobox Showtime Cotto (35-2, 28 KOs) returns to action after a break of eight months after his victory over Yuri Foreman by knockout in the ninth round on June 5 at Yankee Stadium, where he took the 154-pound scepter of the World Boxing Association (WBA).

Will be the second fight of the Puerto Rican fighter of 30 years, under the command of experienced American trainer Emanuel Steward.
