Plot Synopsis
This four-episode reality series follows Miguel Cotto (36-2, 29 KOs) and Antonio Margarito (38-7, 27 KOs) as they prepare for their rematch, a WBA junior middleweight title fight at the Madison Square Garden in New York City on December 3, 2011. Cotto, the 31-year-old WBA junior middleweight champion, won his title in June 2010 against Yuri Foreman after moving up a weight division following his loss to Manny Pacquiao in November 2009 in a WBO welterweight title fight. Now, Cotto is seeking redemption against Margarito, who dealt Cotto his first professional loss. Margarito, the 33-year-old challenger, now has a great deal of mileage on his body, especially after suffering a fractured right orbital bone when he lost the WBC super welterweight title to the much smaller Manny Pacquiao in July 2010. Margarito has not fought since, and he's looking to jump start his career before it's too late. In their previous meeting in July 2008 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Margarito KO'd WBA welterweight champion Cotto in the 11th round, leaving Cotto's face bloodied and swollen.
