[robbyheartbaby]

Oh yeah Geale the homie bringing that sweet WBC gold home to Australia baby! Cotto wants to fight a real, fit middleweight?! Bring it! Cotto is going to be heading back to Puerto Rico in a bodybag!

Here's the latest news direct from WBC... interesting how Cotto is at 164.8 and Geale is already at 158 but Cotto wants a catchweight for the fight. Maybe it will be Cotto who will be drained come fight time.

WBC middleweight Champion Miguel Cotto (39-4-0, 32 KOs) fights Daniel Geale (31-3, 16 KOs), on June 6th in Brooklyn, New York.

No problems, as Both breezed the 30 days weigh in ordered by the WBC, which has the main purpose of carefully monitoring the fighters' weight' as a health priorority.

The Champion was 164.8 lbs, while the title contender was 158 lib. The limit of the division is 160lib.

This will be the first title defense of the WBC belt that Cotto conquered last June, defeating Argentinian Sergio “Maravilla” Martínez, at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Cotto says he's delighted to again be fighting in New York, and he's fully aware of his rival´s quality, so he's absolutely determined to give his all!.

Geale replied he's really motivated for this fight, not only because he will face Cotto, but also because he wants to become the new WBC Champion.

If Geale really is at 158 and not 168 due to a typo, then the CW doesn't even matter. I highly doubt it's 158, it has to be a typo no? 4 weeks out from the fight... If it's true then Geale shouldn't be a MW either.

Seemed strange to me as well. I guess it could be a typo but that is the exact text from the WBC email I received. If it is a typo, they also made it in the Spanish version of the text.

El puertorriqueño Miguel Cotto (39-4-0, 32 KOs), campeón medio del Consejo Mundial de Boxeo, enfrentará al australiano Daniel Geale (31-3, 16 KOs), el próximo 6 de junio en Brooklyn, Nueva York, Estados Unidos.

Ambos peleadores cumplieron satisfactoriamente con el pesaje de 30 días ordenado por el WBC para mostrar que se encuentran en el peso reglamentario requerido para este importante encuentro.

El campeón detuvo la balanza en 164.8 libras, mientras que el aspirante al título marcó 158 libras. El límite máximo de la división medio es de 160 libras.

Esta será la primera defensa del cinturón que ganó Cotto en junio del año pasado derrotando al argentino Sergio “Maravilla” Martínez, en el Madison Square Garden de Nueva York.

Cotto comentó que se encuentra feliz por pelear una vez más en Nueva York, y que aunque conoce la calidad de su rival, dará todo de sí para brindar un gran espectáculo.

Por su parte Geale declaró que se encuentra muy motivado por esta pelea, no solo por enfrentar a Cotto, sino para convertirse en nuevo campeón del WBC.

Definetly a typo, Cotto has been in and out of training since December, and Roach is on record saying Cotto is wallking around a few pounds over his fighting weight.

Wow this guy is really a big guy Cotto better be ready !
