Cotto vs. Jennings and Pavlik vs. Rubio
I thought I would throw this out there so I don't miss it later. I'm looking forward to seeing both of these fights, and hopefully seeing Pavlik wail on Rubio. Here's the details:
It will be a tale of two cities when two-division world champion MIGUEL COTTO returns to the “Mecca of Boxing,” Madison Square Garden and World Middleweight Champion KELLY “The Ghost” PAVLIK makes his world title defense a real homecoming at the Chevrolet Centre in Youngstown, Ohio. Cotto and Pavlik headline an exciting night of championship boxing fighting in winner-take-all world championship brawls.
Cotto will be taking on top-rated contender MICHAEL JENNINGS for the vacant World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title. Pavlik will be defending his title against mandatory challenger and No. 1 contender MARCO ANTONIO RUBIO. These four warriors have a combined record of 143-7-1 (110 KOs), a winning percentage of 95% and a victory by knockout ratio of 77%.
Two title fights in two different towns on one pay-per-view broadcast! This event is so big, both Michael Buffer and Jimmy Lennon, Jr. will be introducing the main events from New York and Youngstown, respectively. Spectators at The Garden will be able to see the live broadcast of the Pavlik-Rubio fight. Spectators at the Chevrolet Centre will be able to see the live broadcast of the Cotto-Jennings fight. Promoted by Bob Arum’s Top Rank, the Cotto-Pavlik doubleheader will take place Saturday, February 21 and will be broadcast Live on Pay-Per-View, beginning at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.
