According to El Vocero, a source in Argentina is saying that the fight is certain. HBO is not really interested in this fight for obvious reasons, but they are willing to accept the Cotto -
Heiland fight on the pretense that Cotto will face Canelo Alvarez later this year. Heiland is currently ranked number one by the WBC. Heiland is 25-4-2, 13 KO's.
I am just dumbfounded by this pending announcement. While it makes sense because everyone else is taken, it should have never come to this. Cotto should have already had a name opponent lined up. I can't even fathom how Roc Nation reacted to this news. In case you forgot, Roc Nation paid Cotto, a reported, 50 million dollars with a 5 million dollar signing bonus.
