Cotto-Alvarez bout is on for Nov. 21 after tough negotiation (The Associated Press)

If Miguel Cotto’s fight with Saul ”Canelo” Alvarez is anywhere near as difficult as the negotiations to get them in the ring together, boxing fans are in for a treat this fall. After months of strenuous posturing and painstaking discussions, Cotto and Alvarez appeared together in Hollywood on Monday to formally announce their WBC middleweight title bout, set for Nov. 21 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas. ”Like any big fight, the negotiations are going to be hard,” Alvarez said through a translator.
