Undefeated junior welterweights and New York rivals collide when WBO Super Lightweight Champion Miguel Cotto takes on brash talker Paulie Malignaggi on the eve of the Puerto Rican Day Parade. Malignaggi backs up his talk with a good fight but gets knocked down in round two and suffers a broken cheekbone. Badly swollen all over the face, Malignaggi makes it to the final bell but loses a unanimous decision.
