By Reynaldo Sanchez: Hollywood Fla. Today afternoon Tuesday, since he had promised previously by Top Rank Inc, there was carried out the Miguel Cotto media day, in route to his clash before the Nicaraguan fighter Ricardo “Matador” Mayorga. The facilities of the GYM of The Heavyweight Factory turned out to be packed from much early for the presence of the mass media. Showtime and Al Bernstein came in the morning, as many other, which his teams were preparing to obtain the best images of this event.

The presence of persons tied to the boxing world, it was feeding the avidity of the journalists who were making the most of the opportunity to receive impressions of them. Such is the case of Bob Arum or Matchmaker Ricardo Rizo, whom they bombarded with all kinds of questions.

In this occasion, we talk with the right arm of Bob Arum, Mr. Ricardo Jimenez (Press and Diffusion of Top Rank Inc.), we extract him some words, since it was interesting to us to know his opinion about the destination of Miguel Cotto, in case of a possible defeat against Mayorga next March 12, and also, to know his opinion about one of the most waited fights by the fans, as is Juan Manuel Lopez vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa.

“We are focused in the fight of March 12, don’t have in mind a defeat and consider facing Margarito possibly in June or July in a revenge fight,” Jiménez stated emphatically.

About the López-Gamboa fight, Jiménez was slightly clear, “are two different franchises, Lopez and Gamboa are now in different ways. I believe that they are going to find one day, I don’t so punctual they meet, for now, both must keep on growing and doing his careers.”

“When there comes the moment to see this fight, be even an event that they all want to see” concluded Jiménez. Nevertheless, this clash in my opinion, should be realized in this stage of theirs careers. In the past, Bob Arum has announced up dates to face them, but listening to Ricardo Jimenez, it seems that it will spend a lot of time before it happens, since they are still “cooking it.”
