Earlier today it was officially announced by Miguel Cotto himself that he will be working with a new trainer for his upcoming December 3rd rematch against Antonio Margarito, set to take place at Madison Square Garden in New York. The man tabbed for that coveted role will be Cuban trainer Pedro Luis Diaz Benitez, who happens to be a Doctor in Pedagogical Sciences while holding a Master?s in sports training and a Major in Physical Culture and Sports.
While Cotto seems pleased and at ease with the move heading into his crucial revenge match with Margarito, the first man to defeat him over three years ago, this means that Miguel?s trainer for his previous two fights, Emanuel Steward, is going his separate way. Rumors ran rampant yesterday as to the reason behind the split between fighter and trainer but Steward insists there are no hard feelings from either end.
