Done Deal: Cotto vs. Margarito

The talented welterweight division is bringing us another exciting match up between two of it's top fighters.  Miguel Angel Cotto will take on the The Tijuana Tornado Antonio Margarito on July 26th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, for the WBA Welterweight Title.  

Both fighters are coming off dominate KO victories on the same card.  Cotto put on a boxing clinic for  The Contender star Alfonzo Gomez, resulting in a 5th round TKO.  In the same fashion, Maragarito ended Kermit Cintron's hopes of avenging his only loss with a devastating body shot in the 6th. 

Cotto and Margarito are primed for the biggest fight and cash purse of either fighter's career. Adding fuel to the already fiery competition is the national roots of these two fighters, Cotto being from Puerto Rico and Margarito from Mexico, which will certainly make for an interesting atmosphere leading up to the bout.
