Cotto, a 32-year-old from Caguas in Puerto Rico, is fighting for his first time in 2013 in what will be his return from two straight defeats. The former 140-, 147- and 154-pound titleholder lost a unanimous decision to Floyd Mayweather in May 2012 and dropped a unanimous decision against Austin Trout this past December. Those losses brought his record to 37-4 with 30 knockouts.

Rodriguez, a 33-year-old originally from the Dominican Republic but long fighting out of Danbury, Conn., has won two bouts since his own loss to Trout, which came in June 2012. He stopped George Tahdooahnippah this past February and Freddy Hernandez in May. He is 28-6-3 with 16 KOs.

Rising lightweight prospect Terence Crawford weighed 134.6 pounds for his HBO co-feature bout against Andrey Klimov, who also checked in at 134.6.

Crawford, 26, of Omaha, Neb., is undefeated at 21-0 (16 KOs). Also unblemished is the record of Klimov, a 31-year-old from Klimovsk, Russia, who is 16-0 (8 KOs).
