The great Boxing Fight Mayweather vs Cotto Coming Soon


This great Boxing fight is no doubt a disappointment to fans across the country and isn't the fight everyone wants to see. As a result, the interest in this fight could be minimal at best and that isn't good for the sport and two of its strong best fighters. But with this new idea of showing a major heavy boxing event in movie theaters is a great idea to help bring in more people to watch.

 Though we are expecting Manny Pacquiao, the pound-for-pound king, to fight against the undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., looks like we need to wait a little bit longer because they have different fights in the first half of the year. Floyd Mayweather Jr. is scheduled to fight the great American boxer Miguel Cotto this upcoming May 5, 2012 while Manny Pacquiao is going to have his own fight may be  this June 2012.

The great champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. announced that his next opponent inside the boxing ring is going to be the WBA junior middleweight king Miguel Cotto. He announced this in front of the members of the Nevada State Athletic Commission and the Mayweather vs Cotto Boxing fight is going to be held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on May 5.

The Light-Heavyweight Boxer Nathan Cleverly Left In Limbo



FRANK Warren is in discussion with the WBO after they refused to sanction boxer Nathan Cleverly’s proposed world title defence against Robin Krasniqi.

 It was announced this morning that Cleverly would put his WBO light-heavyweight belt on the line against the Germany-based Serbian at the Royal Albert Hall on 28 April. But the WBO president Francisco Valcarcel reacted swiftly by claiming that, having beaten Tommy Karpency last month, Cleverly must now face a mandatory opponent.

“Francisco Valcarcel commented that the bout between Nathan Cleverly and Robin Krasniqi can’t and won’t be sanctioned,” read a statement. “Nathan Cleverly’s fight with Karpency was sanctioned with the provision that the winner meet his mandatory opponent 120 days from the day of the bout.” A spokesman for Warren confirmed the promoter is in talks with the WBO in the hope of resolving the impasse. Earlier, Cleverly had spoken of the challenge posed by little-known Krasniqi and his delight at the prospect of boxing at the Royal Albert Hall.
