Cotto hits NYC tomorrow

PRESS RELEASE: WBA World welterweight champion Miguel Cotto today weighed 148 at his seven-day WBA safety-check weigh-in in Puerto Rico, then began preparing for his trip to New York on Friday night. Cotto, looking strong and powerful at his Media Day workout in Puerto Rico on Wednesday, will be in New York on Friday evening. On Saturday at 2 pm, Team Cotto will be at the 152nd Street Festival in The Bronx, N.Y.  Cotto will shake out in a ring raised at the festival, hit the heavy bag and the speed bag. Cotto said he felt "unbelievably great" today and said he is completely prepared to take on Zab 'Super' Judah in Top Rank's big 'X-Plosive' championship fight card at Madison Square Garden on Saturday, June 9. Cotto vs. Judah, promoted by Top Rank and Prize Fight Promotions, will be broadcast on HBO Pay Per View.
