Both fighters were known to be winners of their division and have undergone several big challenges of their lives from fighters such as Manny Pacquiao, Oscar Dela Hoya, Vernon Forest, Shane Mosley, Yuri Foreman and  a lot more. This will be quite exciting match that every boxing enthusiasts out there should watch.

If you want to watch Cotto vs. Mayorga live, it is recommended that you get the $49.95  subscription from SHOWTIME PPV or just wait for the replay of this match on your local TV station.

If you’ll be asking me, if who will be the boxer that I predict to win and get the Super Welterweight crown, well, I’ll place my bet to Miguel Cotto. I’ve seen him fight Pacquiao and Foreman and this guy got really what it takes to become the champion and the best of this division. I believe that he can convincingly defend this title against Mayorga and it will be a KO4 or a knock out on the 5th round.

Right now, I can’t think of anybody that can steal the title from Cotto specially that Pacquiao stated that he will not fight again in this weight division. How about you, what do you think will be the outcome of this match? Will Mayorga got what it takes to grab the seat from Cotto? Well, let just watch this on the 12th of March.
