The theme of this fight is repeat or redemption. Miguel Cotto (23-0-19K) looks to avenge the loss he suffered at the hands of Mohamad Abdullaev (15-1-12K) in the 2000 Summer Games. Cotto is coming off a 5th round TKO victory over DeMarcus Corley. The victory saw Cotto overcome adversity as he was badly stunned in the bout by a Corley right hand in the third round. Cotto was out on his feet, but was able to make it out of the round and eventually stop Corley two rounds later. The main reason most writers made a big deal over Cotto getting hurt in the fight is because he was hurt by a light punching fighter that he outweighed by almost 20 pounds.
