Canelo Alvarez wants the fight against Miguel Cotto to be at 156 pounds.

[AntonTheMeh]

they might as well have a penis measuring contest at his point. i could think of quite a few stans on both sides who love to see that ****.

[joesaiditstrue]

No big deal, 1lb argument. They'll sort it out 155.5 or something.

catchweights are always to the full pound. probably due to the inaccuracy of scales

[Dolezal]

Cotto should just concede. He already is committed to the fight under his HBO contract. Bend over to your new papis HBO and Nelo.

Here we go with the BS. Canelo been fighting at 155. Now all of a sudden he wants it at 156 just to be a ****. Dude is like a spoiled little *****.. Trying to prove he a boss. Then everyone else is ducking. smh sure...

[fourtheboys96]

Why not just come under 160? wtf. This doesnt have to be that difficult.

[gmc_rfc_06]

Did Miguel not just fight at 156?

These guys need to stop trying to score petty little victories, make the fight at anything under 160 and get it done.

MEXICO - There are still details to be defined and those who remain, it seems that there will be significant enough for the biggest fight that boxing can have today is not performed. The fight between Miguel Cotto and Canelo Alvarez is already a fact for 7 or 21 November in Las Vegas.

Until a few days ago, there was not much clarity on the seat of combat, either on the weight and the date of the impending lawsuit, but it seems that little by little it has been defoliating the flower and the ad is closer than ever. New York and Texas have already been ruled out as possible locations.

One of the options regarding the date, it is 7 or 21 November, and it all depends on if you are inclined to make it in the MGM Grand Garden Arena or at the Thomas & Mack Center. If 7, go to MGM, if you go to 21, will be at the Thomas & Mack.

Gabriel Peñagarícano adviser Cotto, ESPN noted that on 21 November would be a good date for combat, while the Puerto Rican trainer, Freddie Roach, said the past weekend was the date agreed by the ventilated equipment Cotto.

The other issue so far is the weight. They both agree that they do not need to go to 160 pounds, because neither one is a natural middleweight, but a pound of difference. Cotto wants 155 pounds, but Canelo prefers 156 pounds. They are in the tug of war.

Later this month the announcement would fight and do a promotional tour in August, which will include five cities, such as San Antonio, New York, Los Angeles, Puerto Rico and Mexico City, to allow time to time fighters begin their camps.

I wonder if Cotto will retire after losing to Canelo? Only answer me if you're going to answer the opposed question. Don't answer me with "Cotto is going to win." That type of assumption will not be tolerated.

Now tell me whats Caneko going to do when Cotto KO his ass??? ive being asking this for weeks, answer me plz!
