I don't know if I'm a little late with the announcement, but I recently read on boxrec.com that these two will fight on February 26. Here is the article..
Cotto/Corley Feb 26
WBO light welterweight champion Miguel Cotto will be at a press conference in Bayamon, Puerto Rico today to announce his next title fight, a defence against DeMarcus 'Chop Chop' Corley on Saturday, Feb. 26. Top Rank president Todd duBoef is in Puerto Rico and will make the announcement at the Salon La Cima, Parque de las Ciencias in Bayamon. Venue for Cotto/Corley is the the Ruben Rodriguez Coliseum. The fight goes out live on HBO After Dark
This will be the second title defence for Cotto who won the crown on Sept. 11. He stopped previously undefeated Kelson Pinto before 12,200 in San Juan.
In Cotto's first world title defence he knocked down Randall Bailey in the second, third rounds and stopped him at 1:39 of the sixth.
More Top Rank Notes
"Pretty Boy" Floyd Mayweather Jr. was sensational in his TKO 8 of Henry Bruseles in Miami on Saturday. Now Mayweather is poised to take on world champion Arturo Gatti provided he gets past Jesse James Leija this Saturday in Atlantic City, NJ.
Mayweather was in the Top Rank gym on Monday. He said the blueprint going into the Bruseles fight was "going to the body.
"We worked primarily on bodywork throughout training camp," Mayweather said. "Although my fights might look easy it's because I take my training very seriously. I've got the world's best trainer in Roger Mayweather and we work hard getting prepared."
It looks like "Chop Chop" is getting another chance at glory. Maybe he can pull out the upset, but if Cotto is as good as everyone says he is, he'll probably stop Corley late, even though Corley is a tough cookie..
