•Oct 5, 2013

Former three division world champion Miguel Cotto (37-4, 30KOs) received some bad news before Saturday's return against Delvin Rodriguez in Orlando, Florida. A court ruling has denied his appeal of an October 2012 decision which orders him to pay $2 million dollars to his uncle and former trainer Evangelista Cotto. In 2009, Evangelista attacked Miguel during a training dispute. The altercation was violent and Evangelista was later taken to the hospital with injuries. Evangelista, after he was officially fired, filed a lawsuit in Caguas and claimed that he was owed money from Miguel's fights.

Mega Plaza Norte, Lima, Peru - WBA interim junior flyweight world champion Alberto Rossel (31-8, 13 KOs) won a twelve round majority decision over Jose Alfredo Zuniga (11-5-1, 5 KOs) of Mexico.

Rossel, who in 2010 failed in his attempt to beat Hugo Cazares for the WBA super flyweight title, grabbed the interim belt in 2012. Zuniga was Rossel's fourth interim title clash.

•Sep 29, 2013

Breidis Prescott (27-5, 20KOs), returned for the first time since an unexpected decision loss to Terence Crawford in March, won an ten round unanimous decision over countryman Edinson Garcia (23-17), with scores of 98-92, 98-92, 97-94, over Edinson 'El Guajiro' Garcia at the Coliseum of Puerto Colombia. Prescott had control of the action early on, with Garcia trying to make it a dirty fight and looking to steal rounds with late flurries. Garcia tried to rally late in the fight, but Prescott was using jab very well and landing shots Garcia came in. There is no decision on whether Prescott will remain at the welterweight limit or drop back down to 140-pounds.
