Miguel Cotto will face Antonio Margarito on Dec. 3rd at “The Garden” in New York. The boxing match will be contested at a catchweight of 153 pounds. Cotto is putting his WBA and WBB junior middleweight world titles on the line, though Cotto is thought of as a “super champ” by the WBA, and the organization considers Austin Trout its regular champ and Anthony Mundine the interim champ.

The fight is a rematch of a controversial 2008 bout, when Margarito handed Cotto his first pro loss. Margarito forced Cotto’s corner to throw in the towel in the 11th round. Margarito was ahead on a couple of the 3 scorecards at the time of the stoppage, but later came under suspicion because of his use of illegal hand wraps in a later struggle against Shane Mosely. Margarito is coming off a loss to Manny Pacquiao in 2010, while Cotto has won his past 2 fights after losing to Pacquiao in 2009. Football lines
