This weekend is just a two bout card on HBO and one up against the Big 10 title game, so it's unlikely I'll be watching either of these live unless the game is an absolute blowout.
The main event has Miguel Cotto is his supposed "farewell" (this is boxing-if you have big fights to make, you are rarely truly retired) defending his WBO junior middleweight title in his second fight in a row against a smaller and outgunned opponent this time in Sadam Ali
Ali is best known for being the number one contender (despite having only one decent win over Luis Abregu) and getting knocked out by Jessie Vargas before his title shot.
That was at welterweight and this is seven pounds higher as Cotto, as he did in his last fight against Yoshihiro Kamegai, is stacking the deck against the smaller Ali.
Rey Vargas defends his WBC junior featherweight belt against Oscar Negrete, who is undefeated against less than world class opponents.
Vargas has looked sharp in his last two fights, winning the title on the road against Gavin McDonnell and a defense against Ronny Rios in August...
