Miguel Cotto vs. Antonio Margarito
When: Saturday, 6 p.m.
Where: MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas

Outlook: Cotto (32-0, 26 KOs) puts his WBA welterweight title on the line against Margarito (36-5, 26 KOs), a former two-time world champion, in the latest installment of the Puerto Rico vs. Mexico rivalry
Prediction: Cotto has a steady workmanlike style. He is efficient and accurate with his punches. He has one of the best left hooks to the body in the business and he has proved to be resilient when hurt. Margarito is relentless and aggressive with his attack. He possesses one of the best chins in the game. Margarito has been waiting to prove himself on the large stage his entire career and he will pull off the upset.
