Undefeated world champion
Miguel Cotto defends his WBA welterweight belt on April 12
against Contenders’ star Alfonso Gomez. Cotto has beaten a
quartet of former world champions in his last five fights –
Shane Mosley, Zab Judah, Paulie Malignaggi and Carlos Quintana
– which has made him the most dangerous welterweight in the
world. Gomez, in the biggest fight of his career on July 14,
2007, stopped Arturo Gatti in the seventh round and ultimately
sent him into retirement. Also featured on the card is IBF
Welterweight Champion Kermit Cintron defending his title
against former world champion Antonio Margarito. This will be
Cintron’s chance to avenge his only professional loss which
took place against Margarito at Caesars Palace on April 23,
2005.
The media event took place at
Sofrito Puerto Rican Cuisine, 400 E. 57th St. in New York
City. The menu consisted of seafood paella, salmon,
plátanos maduros and salad. Flan and cake de tres leches
were served as dessert. The packed house enjoyed this
delicious and typical food, and you may check out the
