    Miguel Cotto 40-5, 33 KOs) hasn’t fought in 18 months and he hasn’t won a fight in the last 2 years, but the World Boxing Organization is still going to let the 36-year-old Puerto Rican face Yoshihiro Kamegai (27-3-2, 24 KOs) for their vacant WBO junior middleweight title on August 26 at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. Cotto-Kamegai will be televised on HBO World Championship Boxing.

    It’s kind of surprising that HBO will be televising Cotto-Kamegai, because it’s such a bad fight. Cotto was a good fighter. I’m not sure if he is anymore given his near 2-year layoff, but he should be fighting better opposition than this if he’s going to be competing for the vacant WBO junior middleweight title. It’s shocking that HBO is going to televise this farce because Cotto and Kamegai because it’s such a bad fight. I can’t imagine that too many boxing fans will be tuning in to see Cotto beat up on a guy with an inflated ranking like Kamegai. The Japanese fighter still have unfinished business with the guys that have recently beaten him instead of being given a world title fight.
