On Saturday, December 3, 2011, Miguel Cotto (36-2) will put his WBA and WBB Junior Middleweight titles on the line against Antonio Margarito (38-7-0-1), live from the historic Madison Square Garden in New York City. When these two met in 2008, Margarito forced Cotto to submit after being out boxed badly in the early rounds. The rapidity with which Cotto’s face seemed to accumulate damage and Margarito’s subsequent glove-loading scandal has put a specter over that win, though. Now, Cotto will look to show that the first loss was a fluke while Margarito willtry to prove he doesn’t need unfair advantages to beat the best in the world. With titles, futures, and reputations on the line, this should be one of the biggest fights in recent memory.
