Antonio Margarito vs. Miguel Cotto Boxing at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Miguel Cotto gets back in the ring, to face off with Antonio Margarito on July 26th, at the MGM Grand Garden, Las vegas, in what figures to be one of the best fights of the summer. The WBA Welterweight Champ, Miguel Cotto is the -175 odds favorite against the IBF Welterweight champ, Margarito.

Cotto, the undefeated WBA champion from Puerto Rico, will headline a Las Vegas card for the first time when he meets IBF champion Margarito at the MGM Grand Garden.

Cotto (32-0, 26 KOs) hasn't fought in Las Vegas since Dec. 11, 2004, on the undercard of
Vitali Klitschko's bout with Danny Williams. His last 10 fights were held in Atlantic City, Puerto Rico or New York, where he usually performs before loud, enthusiastic crowds - but the rising welterweight star's debut as a West Coast pay-per-view attraction is shaping up
as the most tantalizing fight of the summer.

Margarito (36-5, 26 KOs) earned his shot at Cotto by taking Kermit Cintron's IBF title with a sixth-round knockout on April 12, moments before Cotto stopped Alfonso Gomez on the same card in Atlantic City. Margarito, who lost his WBO welterweight title to Paul Williams last summer, dominated Cintron for the second time in their careers to claim another belt.

Margarito has proven him self with a 10th-round stoppage of Antonio Diaz to win the WBO title, Margarito faced seven fighters who were ranked among The Ring’s welterweight top 10 at the time they fought (Diaz, Danny Perez, Andrew Lewis, Sebastian Lujan, Kermit Cintron, Joshua Clottey and Paul Williams), losing only to Williams last
year in a competitive decision.
