World Boxing Council middleweight champion Miguel Angel Cotto is training like a demon at the Wild Card Gym of Hall-of-Fame trainer Freddie Roach in preparation for his title defense against popular, young Mexican Saul ?Canelo? Alvarez on November 21 at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino Events Center.
The WBC reported that Cotto is training ?demonically hard ?for a helluva challenge from Saul ?Canelo? Alvarez.?
The WBC internet site said Cotto insists that his aim is ?Total Victory,? stressing that Roach ?will make the plan leading to success. I have but one thing on my mind, and that's about bringing security to my family, with their future at stake, so I'm going to give my absolute and utmost best . On November 21st we will have victory!?
The Puerto Rican champion is working with strength and conditioning coach Gavin McMillan, while Freddie Roach is in charge of planning plus strategy and training in the gym.
The fight against ?Canelo? Alvarez will be the second defense of the title Cotto after defeating Argentina?s Sergio ?Maravilla? Martinez.
The 34 year old Cotto has a record of 40-4 with 33 knockouts and is coming off a 4th round TKO of Daniel Geale on June 6.
Alvarez is 25 and has a record of 45-1-1 with 32 knockouts and in his last fight scored an spectacular 3rd round knockout of James Kirkland on May 9.
The Cotto-Alvarez title fight is expected to be a rip-roaring battle between two of the greatest middleweights today.
