CAGUAS - Since becoming champion world in the 2004, Miguel Cotto has always fought at the beginning of June, on the eve of the puerto rican Parade of new York, for which after that commitment, had all the summer to share with its children and others family.
But this year is not thus since the monarch welterweight of the AMB did not fight in June and he is prepared to defend its scepter before Antonio Margarito July 26 in The fertile plain, for which this summer has not been of holidays and yes of arduous work road to the most important battle of its career.
Nevertheless, Cotto assured that in spite of the obligations, has enjoyed the holidays of its children. audio Miguel Cotto, boxer
"Always I have dedicated myself to my work"
"I continue sharing with them, thanks to God the family continues being there and I have continued sharing with them. The children always are near of me and we have been able to share enough", he expressed Cotto, father of Luis Angel, Lark and 'Jun Jun'.
"Do not I have election, one must do what the business dictates and this time the date is set a little later", added the unbeaten pugilist in 32 battles with 26 nocauts, to the question of if prefers to fight early in the summer.
June 11, 2005, Cotto debuted in the Madison Square Garden, knocking out to Mohamad Abdulaev, June 10, 2006 did its last fight as champion of the 140 pounds defeating for unanimous decision to Paul Malignaggi and in the 2007, June 9, was imposed for technical knockout to the former champion Zab Judah.
In those passed years, Cotto has taken advantage of the summer to do some trip with its family and this year is not ruled out, although subject to what occur July 26.
"It is not known if after the fight we can go to a trip. But those they are things that yet have not been spoken".
The same preparation
On the other hand, Cotto, who yesterday in the gymnasium Bairoa carried out an open training to the press, maintained that its preparation will not vary a lot although will be measured to a rival one known by its force.
"We are doing the normal thing, special nothing. We are doing the preparation that Philip (Landman, its physical coach) has brought, and the one that and Evangelist (Cotto, its coach) they have understood reasonable for this fight", maintained Cotto, who lights up with greater muscular definition that in its preparations for previous fights.
Cotto, who is slapping the Monday, Wednesday and Friday, is using among its 'sparring partners' to the Nicaraguan one José Varela, an experienced pugilist that has mark of 23-3 with 16 nocauts.
"Varela was selected (to spar with Cotto) by its stature and force. Its style seems to that of Margarito", Evangelist said, who also coaches to Varela.
With a stature of 6’1", two inches more than Margarito, Varela fights in the division superwelter (154 pounds).
In the 2005, it had a brief incursion in the medium division, losing for unanimous decision with the Colombian situated in Puerto Rico, Edison 'Panther' Miranda.
This fight can't get here soon enough.
