World Boxing Council middleweight champion Miguel Cotto (39-4, 32 KO) is ready to offer heavy bombardment but take no sustained flak from incoming challenger Daniel Geale on D Day, this Sunday, Manila Time, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
The WBC reported that Cotto ?offered up an impressive public training stint to the press at the legendary Gleasons Gym in Brooklyn? after which legendary Trainer Freddie Roach said, "We had a great training camp. And I'm really happy and satisfied with the work Miguel has been doing."
For his part Cotto said "I'm fully prepared and calm about this bout. We're totally focused on Daniel Geale. After June 6th we will talk about the next step.?
He added ?We are really happy to be in New York, as this is my second home. It is an enormous pleasure to fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn."
Freddie Roach conceded that Geale ?is a hard fighter who'll be a good competitor. He will last a few rounds. Miguel is in great physical condition. I really enjoy working with him, because he's always willing to give his best, to listen and to learn. At this level that's not always a usual thing!"
