The pay-per-view broadcast begins at 9:00 pm EST with four fights in total, with the main event likely in the ring between 11 pm and midnight EST at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
Cotto (40-4, 33 KO) is defending the lineal middleweight championship of the world against Alvarez (45-1-1, 32 KO), with Alvarez the favored fighter on the sportsbooks. The 25-year-old Alvarez is ten years younger than Cotto and is believed to be the next big star in boxing. A win over Cotto would go a long way toward making that a reality.
On the undercard, WBC super featherweight titleholder Takashi Miura (29-2-2, 22 KO) will defend against Francisco Vargas (22-0-1, 16 KO); super bantamweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux (15-0, 10 KO) will face Drian Francisco (28-3-1, 22 KO) in a 10-round bout; and Jayson Velez (23-0-1, 16 KO) will face Ronny Rios (24-1, 10 KO) in a 10-round featherweight fight.
