They say the night is darkest just before dawn. And the outlook for the Cotto family looks similarly.
The clan, whose name has been almost synonymous with boxing on the island during the past years comes the Christmas period still smarting from the setback it suffered its cumbersome standard-bearer, Michael, on 14 November in Las Vegas, at the hands of Manny Pacquiao .
"Junito" as they call friends and family boxer, was subdued by a knockout in 12 rounds by the Philippine turn ceding the title welterweight World Boxing Organization.
Moreover, these will be the first Christmas that the family does not share in total Cotto union, after the lawsuit between Michael and his uncle, Evangelista "Cano" Cotto.

On 8 April, uncle and nephew staged a physical altercation in the gym Bairoa, home of boxing since Miguel Cotto and his brothers were fans.
The fight began when Michael fired Evangelista, who had been his coach for life.
After the incident, his nephew Envangelista sued in civil court, seeking more than $ 7 billion in damages.
The family relationship has been affected by the event, admitted the parties.
"We have not had any contact (since then)," Evangelista said yesterday. "It definitely has changed the way we shared Christmas, but what to do. We'll see. "
Miguel, meanwhile, sounded open to the possibility that time heals wounds.
"There has been no approach. But what will happen, will happen, "he said. "We should not ajor the situation. What will happen, will happen. "
The comments of three-time world champion suggest possible interest in a reconciliation with his mentor who was sporting for years. Although never a boxer, Evangelista opened the children of his elder brother in the sport of flat noses.
Michael has made it known that the sport has affected their family relationships.
"If it were for my family and my children, I would have retired years ago," he said in a recent interview. "It's not easy for them to see me receive punishment. But it is the job I chose, is my way of providing economic stability for my family and they have learned to respect my decision.
Boxing, a sport for years joined Miguel Evangelista, ended up being part of the cause of his breakup. But it could also be a factor in reconciliation.
This is how the retired trainer Felix Trinidad Rodriguez, who knows firsthand the difficulties of having a professional relationship in boxing with close relatives.
"(After the loss to Pacquiao) Miguel must reevaluate his career and perhaps correct a few mistakes," said Felix. "This is an opportunity that God gave him to make peace with his uncle," he added.
