    Comments Thread For: Cotto-Geale To Have Catch-Weight of 157, Says Source

    Reports are now coming out that a fight between WBC middleweight titlist Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32KOs), and Australia's Daniel Geale (31-3, 16KOs), has been finalized for June 6th at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn, New York. It will be the Puerto Rican's first defense of that title he won last year by thrashing Sergio Martinez in ten rounds at the Madison Square Garden.

    According to a source with knowledge of the situation, a catch-weight of 157-pounds has been instituted for this match-up. Cotto, has spent much of his career around the welterweight and junior middleweight classes. Last July, Geale was blown out by Gennady Golovkin in three rounds. He came back a few months later to win a decision over countryman Jarrod Fletcher.

        Total farce and I defy any Cotto-stan here to defend his chickenhearted catchweight move.

          The irony.

          Cotto is a joke. I can no longer respect him like I did.
          He is catching up to pacquiao at this point I think pac had 3 title fights at catchweights as well.

              It's some serious BS when the WBC Middleweight champion doesn't feel comfortable to fight at 160....he should just move down to 154 and forget about the MW division cause all the fighters are too big for him.

              Would Cotto ever fight GGG at 157? Nope....Cotto move down and try to get a fight with Canelo.

                      Let me get this straight. Cotto is the 160lbs champ but will have a 157lbs catch weight for his defence vs geale? This is why i only watch heavyweights nowadays... What a joke boxing has become with catch weights & paper titles...
