WBA welterweight champion Miguel Cotto plans to make challenger Antonio Margarito the 33rd victim on his record. With less than a week away, Cotto is weighing around a firm and ready 151-pounds and has touched down in Las Vegas for one one the most anticipated fights of the last few years. The event takes place at the MGM Grand on July 26 and televised on HBO pay-per-view.

"We are always ready to put the work in. The mindset is not to go for the knockout, but to win the fight in every round," Cotto told Primera Hora. "There were 32 previous opponents who said they would beat me and they all failed. Margarito is going to be number 33. It doesn't matter what Margarito says, Miguel Cotto will return to Puerto Rico with the title."

Fight is centered around the boxing rivalry between Puerto Rico and Mexico, which Cotto feels is good for the sport and hopes the fight with Margarito will further the history of the rivalry.

"That is something that is never is going to disappear. We are happy to be included in a rivalry as excellent as the one between Puerto Rico and Mexico, and it is now in our hands to carry this fight to the same level," Cotto said.
