Yuri Foreman vs. Miguel Cotto on June 5

Here's one great news in the boxing world. The undefeated junior middleweight fighter, Yuri Foreman will be facing the former two time welterweight champion Miguel Cotto at the Yankee Stadium in June 5. That's right, the Puerto Rican challenges Yuri for his crown and steps up the ladder of the pound for pound fights to reach the junior middleweight. Its amazing that Cotto will still fight despite his defeat on his two previous fights, from Antonio Margarito and Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao. I thought he will be retiring after he was KOed on the 12th round on his November fight against Pacquiao. But I was wrong! This amazing fighter, will be standing high and will challenge one of the most dangerous and skilled fighter of the junior middleweight division, Yuri Foreman.

Here's the source of the news where I found the details about the said fight:

Soon-to-be rabbi Yuri Foreman will defend his WBA junior middleweight (154 pounds) title against Puerto Rican former two-time welterweight (147 pounds) and one-time junior welterweight (140 pounds) champion Miguel Cotto, at Yankee Stadium on June 5, even as a bar mitzvah party takes place at the same venue -- all for the first time in the history of the stadium.

According to a source with knowledge of the event, the Yankees will soon release a statement confirming that they have reached an agreement, along with fight promoter Bob Arum, CEO of Top Rank Promotions, to satisfy the family holding the bar mitzvah celebration while also having the venue's first professional boxing match.

Foreman (far right) and Cotto (near left) are pictured (above) with former world champion Felix Trinidad (middle).

According to the Associated Press, the bar mitzvah is for Scott Ballan, the son of the Jon Ballan, lead bond lawyer for the financing of Yankee Stadium.

Ballan will be "bar-mitvahed" earlier in the day, and, in accordance with their agreement with the Yankees, the guests -- approximately 150 of them -- will spend the night of June 5 celebrating the boy at the stadium and watching Foreman-Cotto.

The family was using the two of the lounges in the Yankees Stadium to celebrate the bar mitzvah. The family will be allowed to use the lounges, and also, be furnished with approximately 150 tickets to the fight.

Arum told FanHouse earlier this week that he was "optimistic something can be worked out, perhaps by giving the families holding the bar mitzvah credentials for the fight."

Foreman (28-0, eight KOs) is the first Israeli to win a professional boxing title, a feat he accomplished with November's 12-round unanimous decision over Puerto Rico's Daniel Santos.

Foreman, who is studying to be a rabbi, could not be reached on Friday. But Foreman told FanHouse on Tuesday that he would love nothing more than to establish his own celebrity and following at Yankees Stadium, and that it would be extra special if the audience was a largely Jewish one.

"I would thank God for that opportunity. That would be very exciting and I would be very appreciative. When was the last fight at Yankee Stadium? That would be historical for me," said Foreman, a 29-year-old Brooklyn resident.

"That's an amazing irony, but it's still surreal until something like that get's done. But anything that you want, you can definitely pray for it. You can pray for the well-being of the fighters, for something that you believe in. And for all of the things that have happened," said Foreman.

"You can pray for guidance, for the opportunity, etc., etc.," said Foreman. "I think that no matter what happens, from the perspective of the Israeli people, seeing their countryman fight in defense of his title would be very, very good in a sport like boxing. That would open the eyes of everyone."

Arum told FanHouse earlier this week that the family had asked to use the stadium's monitors for photos and a filmography of Ballan, and that he was "optimistic" that a deal could be worked out between the fighters and the Yankees Stadium officials.

Arum promoted the last boxing match at the old Yankees Stadium in 1976, when Muhammad Ali earned a 15-round decision over Ken Norton against the backdrop of a police strike.

Cotto (34-2, 27 knockouts) has built a following at Madison Square Garden, where the fight was to be held on June 12 -- the eve of the annual Puerto Rican Day parade in New York City -- if something couldn't be worked out with Yankees' Stadium for June 5.

Cotto is 6-0, with three KOs at Madison Square Garden, including wins over Shane Mosley, Zab Judah, Joshua Clottey and Paulie Malignaggi.

Donaire vs. Darchinyan Possibility After Latin Fury 13

After successfully defending his current boxing title on the recently concluded Pinoy Power 3 (watch Pinoy Power 3 / Latin Fury 13 replay here), Nonito Donaire Jr. wants to fight again Vic Darchinyan and eying the WBA and World Boxing Council (WBC) unified super flyweight belts of the Armenian boxer. "That’s what I came for and hopefully I'll get that fight. I'm here, I'm a fighter but I gotta listen to my guys" said Donaire in an interview.

If you can remember, back in 2007, he steals the title of Darchinyan by defeating him in a very highly talked knocked out where he won the Armenian’s International Boxing Federation (IBF) flyweight title. If you want to watch the said fight, you can go HERE.

Well, let see if Donaire vs. Darchinyan will happen later near in the future. If this happens, we will surely see another action-packed exchange of punches. Vic will surely accept this challenge so that he could take his revenge and redeem himself from the 2007 defeat.

Manny Pacquiao Defends Welterweight Title Versus Joshua Clottey

The reason why Mayweather vs. Mosley happens because of the unavoidable change in the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao plans. This is also the reason why Manny Pacquiao will be fighting and depending his welterweight title against Ghanna's pride Joshua Clottey on March 13, 2010 at the Cowboys Stadium in Dallas Texas. The fight was arranged by the Top Rank Promotions with Bob Arum. Currently both camps are practicing and preparing for the said fight which is dubbed as Pacquiao vs. Clottey "The Event."

We can expect that there will be a HBO 24/7 as the HBO PPV (pay-per-view) agreed to cover the said match and its been the tradition of this popular network to promote boxing events like this by the award winning documentary series.

Potential undercard matches for the said event will be Antonio Margarito vs. Carlson Jones, a welterweight match between Alfonso Gomez (21-4-2, 10 KOs) and Jose Luis Castillo (60-9-1, 52 KOs) and possible showcase of the junior featherweight prospect Roberto Marroquin (11-0, 8 KOs).

Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Shane Mosley Finalized to Happen on May 1

Finally, after a long wait, the fight between "Sugar" Shane Mosley and Floyd Mayweather Jr. will happen this coming May 1 at the Las Vegas after both parties agreed to sign the contracts. Mayweather just signed it this Wednesday (Feb. 3) to complete the fight arrangements while Mosley signed it last Friday (Jan. 29).

In an interview with ESPN, Floyd Mayweather Jr. said that Mosley is a great fighter and he deserves to be his opponent. He said, "This one is definitely for the fans as I wasn't going to waste anyone's time with a meaningless tune-up bout and asked to fight Shane immediately. I have said ever since I came back to the sport that I only wanted to fight the best. I think Shane is one of the best, but come May 1, he still won't be great enough to beat me."

Mosley seems really eager to beat the him and excited that this match happens. If you can remember, his previous fight that supposed to happened this January 30 was postponed due to his opponent, Andre Berto, canceling it because of the Haiti incident.

Now, almost everybody in the boxing industry is thinking that the Mayweather vs. Mosley fight is much interesting compared to the upcoming fight of Pacquiao against Clottey on March 13. What do you think about this, can the match pull off a very interesting number of audiences?
