Cotto-Canelo official for November 21st on HBO PPV

by

cottoBy Dan Ambrose: Earlier today, Golden Boy Promotions and Roc Nation Sports announced the mega-clash between WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (40-4, 33 KOs) and former WBA/WBC 154lb champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (45-1-1, 32 KOs) for November 21st on HBO pay-per-view from the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The fight is of importance because it will potentially be determining the opponent for WBC interim middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin, who is considered to be the best fighter in the middleweight division right now. Unless the Cotto-Canelo winner decides to take the easy way out by vacating in order to avoid the Golovkin fight, we could be seeing a very good fight in early 2016 between Golovkin and the winner of the Cotto-Canelo catch-weight fight.
