Cotto set for Urkal, then Judah!
By Karl Freitag
"I've prepared myself very well for this fight," said WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto today in regard to his March 3 mandatory defense against Oktay Urkal. "Every guy who comes into the ring has two arms and two legs and is coming to fight, but I've prepared myself very well and I'm very confident and I will be ready and I'm going to win." In addition to the Urkal fight, Cotto has a showdown with Zab Judah scheduled June 9. Cotto says that fight is not a distraction. "All I'm focusing on is the March 3rd the fight that I have with Urkal. That's all I'm thinking about right now. Once that's settled and we get it done, we'll think about what's up next and what's coming up in June." In regards to Judah's vow to knock him out in five rounds, Cotto commented, "all I can tell you is that throughout his career, Judah has always been a big talker, but seeing the actions in the ring, he has not been able to back up those words. So I'm not worried about anything he has to say."
