    The Puerto Rican middleweight champion Miguel Angel Cotto officially began on Monday in preparation Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles en route to his title defense June 6 in the city of New York and will be broadcast on HBO.

    It is expected that at some point this week Cotto and his group faced confirm whether the Argentine Jorge Sebastian Heiland, first ranked World Boxing Council, or the Australian Daniel Geale who in 2014 faced the undefeated holder Kazakh Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin. Between them will be the final decision of the Puerto Rican. His team has avoided to comment on the matter.

    "We started the preparation and has been an excellent start," said Gabriel Peñagarícano, legal adviser to the fighter.

    "Miguel I began, as usual, with two sessions, one in the morning and once in the afternoon. It is adapting very well since he got a great fitness camp," he said.

    The morning work Cotto is in charge of physical and specialist in strength coach, Gavin McMillan, who also helps fighters like Ruslan Provodnikov.

    On the official announcement of the opponent, Peñagarícano would only say once again that it will be as soon as this week.

    This time the lawyer seemed safer prognosis in previous times.

    "We are very upfront and we will have something concrete to weekends.

    The fight will be on June 6 on HBO, "he added. Cotto will make a voluntary defense of the title he captured June 2014 with victory by technical knockout over Argentine Sergio 'Maravilla' Martinez.

    That also stay away for a while the possibility of a clash against Golovkin, Interim WBC and WBA reigning monarch.

            Does GGG hold a title at 168? A lineal title? Oh... I forgot, I'm on your ignore lit so you won't be able to read this. Shame.


            As for the upcoming fight... any info as to whether this will be at a catchweight or a real MW fight?

There is no way they are going back on that decision now. The winner of Cotto's next fight either fights GGG for the title or vacates it. Or he will be stripped.

                From Golovkin's web site...

                are you talking about the same WBC that let floyd defend his 154 lbs title vs maidana at 147 lbs? Look I agree cotto should fight GGG next after his defense in june 6, but don't get your hopes up with wbc guys

I can see Cotto being dominated by everyone at 160 as easily as you claim to see the opposite. Let's wait and see how his first fight against a healthy middleweight fighter goes before making any ridiculous predictions.

                  I will give one prediction... if Geale hits Cotto with the same punch that GGG ignored before knocking Geale out, Cotto goes down and does not get up.

                    Seeing as the WBC don't follow their rules and do shit like this, it wouldn't surprise me

                      It's just a bit curious how you state that Cotto beat a "cripple" to win the 160lb belt, but you somehow think that GGG needs to beat Cotto for some MW relevance. If you sincerely believe Cotto beat a "cripple" in Martinez, then why the burning desire to see GGG vs Cotto? Is Cotto not worthy but somehow worthy? Why not wish a more competetive fight for GGG such as Ward? I know you are going to reply by saying that GGG is somehow more awesome by fighting the smaller Cotto as opposed to taking on the bigger Ward but I think this math only works in your universe. I think deep down, the very people claiming Cotto sucks, are secret admirers.
