    Boxing Buzz!

    By Karl Freitag
    HBO Countdown crews today are in the camps of Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito. Cotto is training in Caguas, Puerto Rico, while Margarito is in Los Angeles.


    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    It has been speculated in the media that the winner of the July 26 Cotto-Margarito bout could face Oscar De La Hoya on September 20. However with Oscar's bout taking place just eight weeks later, that scenario is quite unlikely.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Newly crowned WBC super welterweight champ Sergio Mora called out Oscar on the SHOWTIME telecast after winning the belt from Vernon Forrest. With Hatton seemingly out of the running, can Oscar refuse a shot at the green belt?
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    SHOWTIME will carry the August 2 IBF super flyweight showdown between champion Dimitri Kirilov and former fly king Vic Darchinyan. No venue set yet but Las Vegas and Vancouver have been mentioned as possible locations.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    On the same day as Cotto vs Margarito at MGM on July 26, WBA #1 rated light flyweight contender Giovanni Segura will take on champion Brahim Asloum in Cannes, France.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    With Floyd's retirement, that opens up speculation on the new pound-for-pound king. While many consider Manny Pacquiao the heir apparent, Miguel Cotto, Kelly Pavlik and Joe Calzaghe can also make a good case.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A new Xbox 360 video game called "Don King Presents: Prizefighter," comes out today in North American retail stores. The game is rated T for Teen.
