    My quick translation:

    "Cotto alrady started his training in PR and will be departing towards the Big Bear, CA on 6 OCT where he will train for approximately 3 weeks returning into Orlando 28 Oct to continue with the rest of his preparation."

    Thanks for the translation. This is interesting. I like that they are going to train at Big Bear, but why only go for a few weeks and then leave well before training camp is over?

    Altitude in big bear. Cotto also strikes me as the type who likes to be in nice places. You won't catch him in a grotty gym.

    That's nice and all, but why only the 3 weeks? If anything, he should be there the 3 weeks before the fight, and then finish final prep the week of in NY.
