It's finally here, fight fans.
Showdown:
Miguel Cotto (37-3, 30 KO) vs. Austin Trout (25-0, 14 KO)
A 12-round battle for the WBA Super Welterweight Championship of the world live from the mecca of boxing, New York's Madison Square Garden.
Join us all night as we live-blog from ringside when the former four-time, three-division world champion from Puerto Rico, Miguel Cotto, attempts to win his fifth world championship from the dangerous, young sensation Austin Trout.
Our complete coverage will begin with the televised Showtime undercard featuring a 10-round battle for the WBC silver featherweight title between Puerto Rico's undefeated Jayson Velez (19-0, 14 KO) and Salvador Sanchez II (30-4-3, 18 KO) of Mexico.
Velez is a bright young star who has been mentored by Cotto, and Sanchez is the nephew of legendary Mexican champion Salvador Sanchez. Both men are promising knockouts, so it should be an all-action war!
The opening bout of the evening features Brooklyn's Danny "Miracle Man" Jacobs (23-1, 20 KO) as he continues his successful return from a career and life-threatening bout with cancer as he takes on Cleveland's Chris Fitzpatrick (15-2, 6 KO) in an eight-round middleweight fight.
So stay tuned, boxing fans, for an exciting night of fights live from Madison Square Garden. And as always, keep it here at Bleacher Report, your new home for boxing!
