Miguel Cotto (32-1-0, 26 KOs) vs. Michael Jennings (34-1-0, 16 KOs) Fight Predictions: Tonight, Miguel Cotto returns to the ring for the first time since suffering the first loss of his career against Antonio Margarito. Cotto, who’s considered one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, will be taking on Michael Jennings for the vacant WBO welterweight title live from a Puerto Rican filled crowd at Madison Square Garden.

Oddsmaking Boxing experts at BodogLIfe.com have been working diligently to post the best Sports Odds for tonight’s main event fight between the heavy favorite, Miguel Cotto [-1,500] taking on the underdog, Michael Jennings [+750].

After impressive victories over Carlos Quintana, Zab Judah and Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto took on hard-hitting Antonio Margarito. The “Boriqua” looked good in the early rounds, effortlessly beating Margarito to the punch.

However in the middle rounds, the “Tijuana Tornado” began wearing the Puerto Rican down, knocking him to the canvas twice before Cotto’s corner threw in the towel midway through the 11th. In which round will Miguel Cotto vs Michael Jennings Fight Predictions end? According to the experts, the OVER [+180] UNDER [-230] has been set at 7½ rounds.

Six months later, Antonio Margarito had his license revoked for at least one year by the California State Athletic Commission, banning him from fighting in the United States. The sanction was handed down after a plaster-like substance was found on his wraps before his loss to Shane Mosley in January. This has not only tarnished his legacy, but it has also made some of his past opponents very uneasy. The biggest question now is: was his punishing defeat of Cotto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas also enhanced?

Cotto has been openly critical of Margarito, but really has no way of knowing if Margarito also had loaded gloves in their fight. “All I can tell you is I choose to think he had a good night,” Cotto said in an interview. “And that’s all I’m going to say about that.”
