Miguel Cotto Booed by Dodgers Fans on Hispanic Heritage Night [VIDEO]

Miguel Cotto picked the wrong night to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at Dodger Stadium.

Unfortunately for Cotto, it was also the Dodgers 18^th Annual La Gran Fiesta celebrating Hispanic Heritage day. Needless to say, there were many Mexican fans in attendance and they weren't too kind to Cotto when he was announced on the big screen.

Cotto is set to step into the ring on November 21^st against Mexican boxer, Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The fight is sure to draw record Pay Per View numbers as fight fans have been waiting for this matchup for years.

Cotto is undefeated since switching trainers to Freddie Roach, and is a slight underdog against Alvarez. The middleweight champion is currently training at the famed Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood, CA, which is owned by Roach.

"I am more than ready to get to work and am fully confident that the plan Freddie Roach has in place for our team is going to ensure that I am prepared to lock in this victory on November 21," he told Latin Times from the field at Dodger Stadium.

Despite the boos from the Los Angeles crowd, Cotto was all smiles before the game as he took photos with Dodgers legend Tommy Lasorda and posed with fellow Puerto Rican and player Kiké Hernandez.
