Fighting the main event at Madison Square Garden over the Puerto Rican Day parade weekend - this is Miguel Cotto's stage to shine and prove that he is ready to be become boxing's next "superstar."

The young, former Puerto Rican National amateur champion will show he is worthy of all the acclaim by beating Abdullaev; avenging his 2000 Olympic loss to the tough and capable Uzbekistan fighter, who eventually took home the gold medal.

Abdullaev, a solid fighter in his own right, hasn't progressed professionally at the meteoric pace of his arch-rival and will do all he can to keep the fight competitive before Cotto lowers the boom around the 7th or 8th round to the delight of the predominately Puerto Rican fight crowd - rooting on their new hero!

Everyone knows how this one is supposed to end, and if Tyson doesn't beat McBride I don't know what "Team Tyson" can do next. 

Mountain Rivera (played by Anthony Quinn many years ago in the classic boxing movie: "Requiem for a Heavyweight") is obviously no longer available, so it's now or never for Mr. Tyson.

Showing how much his once-potentionally unlimited skills have eroded it will still take Tyson four or five rounds before he dispatches of the super-sized, yet super-slow, really nice Irish fella.
