Before arriving at the Yankee Stadium for a press conference, Miguel Cotto worked out with his new trainer Emanuel Steward at the Trinity Boxing Gym in New York. Cotto and his assistant trainer Joe Santiago as well as strength coach Phil Landman and publicist Bryan Perez came in from Tampa, Fla. which is where he has been training.
“This is a big fight for Cotto. He knows it and I know it,” Steward said. “The first thing I told him is that this is not an easy fight. Yuri Foreman is a good champion.”
“Cotto has better balance now,” continue Steward. “That’s the first thing I noticed about him in recent fights. I worked with him on balance, sharper and more accurate punching. His conditioning is outstanding. He’s ready to fight on June 5.”
That afternoon Miguel Cotto hung out at the Yankees batting cage, took pictures with Arod, spoke to captain Derek Jeter.
“I feel great, I am working hard, weight is no problem and I’m ready to fight,” Cotto said at a press conference before the Yankees took on the Tampa Bay Rays.
Cotto is scheduled to take on WBA super welterweight champion Yuri Foreman on June 5 outdoors on a raised ring in right field at Yankee Stadium.
this should be a good fight. this weight might be tough for cotto because of his size. if his power doesnt carryover well he is going to have trouble getting the ko. but no matter what I go for my boy cotto. kick ass boricua!!
This will be a tough fight for Cotto. I don’t see him knocking Foreman out. If he wins, probably by decision. Let’s see. 🙂
imma see this fight live. only way to see me in yankee stadium lol im a mets fan. cotto got this and it wont last. he needed someone like stewart.
