On Saturday the pride of Puerto Rico, Miguel Cotto, looks to add another title to his long storied career before hanging up the gloves for the final time at the end of the year.
With the Stub Hub Arena providing the stage, Cotto faces off against fierce and battle tested challenger Yoshihiro Kamegai at the Stub Hub Arena in Carson for the vacant WBO super welterweight title. Known for producing some of boxing’s most intense wars in recent years, Stub Hub will be rocking from the opening bell.
