Miguel Cotto tells El Nuevo Dia that some ingrown hairs on his left knee, which has caused a slight limp, will not prevent victory when he defends his WBA welterweight title against Alfonso Gomez on April 12 in Atlantic City. Cotto told the paper that his training camp will not be affected. Cotto denied rumors that the injury came from training.
"All is well. It's a small inconvenience in the knee, but all is well, Cotto said. "It's already improved since yesterday. We leave for Atlantic City on April 6 and my plan is to continue working. An opponent is an opponent and you must respect him. I know he is being prepared in the best possible way to win the fight and we are training in the same fashion."
