The theme of this fight is repeat or redemption.
Miguel Cotto (23-0-19 KO) looks to avenge the loss he suffered at the hands of Mohamad Abdullaev (15-1-12 KO) in the 2000 Summer Games. Cotto is coming off a fifth-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.
