Miguel Cotto is going to face Michael Jennings in a WBO Welterweight Championship bout on 21 February 2009. Cotto, the former WBO light welterweight and former WBA welterweight champion, has already set his sight on the vacant WBO welterweight title. The fight will be organized at the Madison Square Garden, USA. Puerto Rican boxer Cotto has lost only once in his 33-match career, and out of his 32 wins, he knocked out his opponents on 26 occasions.
British boxer Michael Jennings has not won as many titles as Cotto has, but the 33-year-old Briton also holds an impressive career record with 34 wins, 16 knock outs and 1 defeat. Jennings won the WBU welterweight title in 2007 defeating Mehrdud Takaloo in a unanimous decision. WBU welterweight title is not regarded as a major title in boxing world, and thus, the fight against Miguel Cotto for the vacant WBO welterweight title seems to be his first shot to a highly rated boxing title. Michael Jennings is currently the no. 3 ranked boxer in the WBO welterweight ranking.

Jennings has the better record, only by a little, but Cotto has a mean hook and all of puerto rico behind him. I'm going to the fight. Gonna wear my Ecko Cotto track outfit. Have you seen this?
