Cotto vs. Canelo live stream: TV schedule, start time, and how to watch online

Tonight marks a big night for boxing, as two of the biggest names in the sport square off in the latest installment of the bitter pugilistic feud between Puerto Rico. Miguel Cotto (40-4, 33 KOs) was due to defend his WBC middleweight title against Canelo Alvarez (45-1-1, 32 KOs), but Cotto was stripped of the title when he refused to pay the $300,000 sanctioning fee to the WBC. The title is now only on the line for Canelo, and Gennady Golovkin will be promoted from interim champ to full champ should Cotto win.

All of that aside, Cotto is effectively the "road" fighter at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, as the weigh-ins suggest that Mexico's Canelo is the overwhelming fan favorite. There is still plenty of excitement in the air for what is widely considered to be the best fight to be made in boxing sans Mayweather and Pacquiao.

It should be a fascinating night of boxing in Las Vegas, and Bloody Elbow will be covering it for you throughout the weekend. Here's all the details you need on tonight's card, including how to watch it.
