damn, reminds me of when roger mayweather said he use to knockout his trainers...hahahaahahahahahaha sucks though, especially before a huge fight. who the **** is michael ??? maybe somebody told cotto that chavez sr is his real dad :freddy
If this is true than maybe its time to move on now. The relationship looks like a ****ing marriage man. They fight then they make up and repeat. This type of situation is the last thing Cotto needs before a a fight with Clottey.
This is a very unfortunate incident, I hope they fix their differences and Cotto's carrer keeps going.
Damn not good, especially when his about to fight Joshua Clottey, Miguel needs to make a decision quick and stick with it, i say call Eddie Mustafa Muhammad!!
I just read also that Evangelista went and vandalized Cottos Jaguar at his place. WTF evangelista? you look like a drunk ***** doing that.
Terrible news when you are supposed to be preparing for a fight in two months. I hope Cotto comes into the ring prepared. He needs to drop his uncle ASAP.
I just read the article and basically it says Evangelista got pissed at Cotto because he arrived at the gym earlier than scheduled and the gym was full so they went to the office in the gym and they started arguing and Evangelista hit Cotto and Cotto hit him back then Evangelista went to Cottos house and vandalized his car.
