Watch Miguel Cotto vs Titleholder Yuri Foreman Live Stream

Fight fans know Cotto’s credentials. The 29-year old is 34-2 with 27 knockouts. He has wins over championship-caliber opponents such as Cesar Bazan, Lovemore N’dou, Randall Bailey, DeMarcus Corley, Ricardo Torres, Paul Malignaggi, Carlos Quintana, Zab Judah, Shane Mosley, and Joshua Clottey. He is 5’7” with a 67” reach, a little on the small side for a fighter at 154 lbs.

Yuri Foreman, the Israeli-Brooklynite, is undefeated at 28-0 with 8 knockouts. The 29-year old is considerably longer than Cotto at 5’11” with a 72” reach, but he has deficits in world-level experience. Before beating the capable but inconsistent Daniel Santos in November for his belt, he never faced anyone overly formidable. At the same time, he does hold wins over some pretty good fighters such as Jesus Soto-Karass, Anthony Thompson, Andrey Tsurkan, and Saul Roman.
