Cotto, making a mark in history.

This is how one of the articles of the boxing between Miguel Cotto and Sergio “Maravilla” Martinez went:

World Championship Boxing returns to "The World's Most Famous Arena" on Saturday, June 7th when three-division world champion, and the Pride of Puerto Rico, MIGUEL COTTO steps into The Garden ring to challenge the WBC / The Ring Middleweight Champion, and Argentina's favorite son SERGIO "MARAVILLA" MARTINEZ in an eagerly anticipated mega-fight between two of the sport's biggest stars!

Miguel Cotto vs. Sergio Martinez

38-4, 31 KOs 51-2-2, 28 KOs

Caguas, Puerto Rico Buenos Aires, Argentina

As a puertorican I'm proud that we had a great boxer defending the title for Puerto Rico. Any news that makes us (puertorican’s) look good will be a great event in the island. This was the best description I found online about the fight last night. Amazing words that make any puertorican jump for joy. 

“Miguel Cotto, in an absolute tour de force, won the middleweight championship of the world and made boxing history by stopping Sergio Martinez in the 10th round Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. Cotto scored four knockdowns -- three in the first round -- in a stunningly dominant performance. After he dropped Martinez in the ninth round, Martinez was still on his stool when trainer Pablo Sarmiento would not let him continue, and referee Michael Griffin stopped the bout six seconds into the 10th round. The largely Puerto Rican crowd of 21,090, which was there mostly for Cotto on the eve of the annual Puerto Rican Day parade in New York, erupted. With the overwhelming victory, Cotto made the Puerto Rican history that was his motivation for taking the fight -- becoming the first boxer from the island to win world titles in four weight classes.”

So this shows you that being from such a small island there are opportunities to become the best you can. You just have to work hard and never give up. Make success your passion. Don't let nothin bring you down.
