Miguel Cotto: Golden Boy holding September 28 date at Barclays Center for return

Miguel Cotto will be back in the ring this fall, and it looks like he could return smack in the middle of a huge run for boxing, as Golden Boy is holding a September 28 date at the Barclays Center for his return, ESPN.com reports via Richard Schaefer . Schaefer says there is nothing set, just a held date. Usually, this does lead to a fight, and the talk from Cotto's camp the last few months has been that he planned to return later in the year and fight once in 2013. Cotto (37-4, 30 KO) has lost two straight convincing decisions, first to Floyd Mayweather and then to Austin Trout in December. The Trout fight was an upset (by betting odds -- I know a lot of people thought Trout would win), and seemed to show us Miguel's limits at 154 pounds, where it figures that he'll struggle against true junior middleweights, particularly those who are younger, which most of the top guys are. That said, there are vulnerable top 10 guys at 154, including IBF titlist Ishe Smith, who will face Carlos Molina on July 19, WBO titlist Zaurbek Baysangurov, who will face Demetrius Andrade on July 6. The winners of those two fights could be targeted by Cotto if he wants to jump right back into a title fight, with the Smith-Molina winner probably the more likely of the two, if either could be made. Meanwhile, BoxRec are already listing Cornelius "K9" Bundrage as Cotto's opponent. Bundrage lost the IBF belt to Smith on February 23 in Detroit. The move to Ba ...

William Rausch Barclays Center has a distinct, intentional odor. (AP) A trip to the Barclays Center offers a wealth of neural stimulation: ample stimuli for the visual cortex, from Andray Blatche's point-Center crossovers to the rare-but-thrilling dunks of Deron Williams and the many entertaining faces of Brook Lopez; auditory treasures from the sonorous chants of "Broook-lynnn" to the Warrior cries of Gerald "Crash" Wallace. And then there is the olfactory system. According to a scent-tickles-noses-curiosity">DNA Info source , Brooklyn's Barclays Center pumps in a "signature scent" into the arena, thanks to ScentAir. The aroma is a a "fresh-smelling fragrance with citrus notes." "(ScentAir) manufactures custom fragrances pumped into the air at theme parks, stores and hotels around the world. The odors function like mood music for your nose. They're meant to enhance the consumer experience and build brand identities." Fans have chimed in with their take on Barclays' Odor, or B.O. A fan on Twitter described the smell as that of a Calvin Klein Store , while another told DNAInfo that the aroma was akin to Axe Body Spray. Josh Newman , who covers the Nets for SNY, finds the smell appealing, and attributes the added amenity to Nets owner and Russian billion oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov's spare no expense mentality.

How Realistic is the ACC Tournament in NYC at MSG or Barclays Center?

Will Syracuse be playing in a postseason conference tournament in the Big Apple once again? It’s possible after the murmurs that came out of the ACC meetings last week in Florida. Several coaches, athletic directors, and officials engaged in deep discussions over whether to move the ACC Championship from Greensboro to a major market such as NYC. Follow The Fizz on Twitter for the latest SU offseason news This possibility has been on the minds of teams and fans ever since realignment took place and destroyed the Big East we came to love . But does the southern-based ACC want to move away from its longtime Center, and further from several of its original fan bases. The current contract with Greensboro expires after the 2015 season. Plus, MSG is starting to fill its calendar with a tourney for the new Big East, and the Barclays Center in Brooklyn is hosting the Atlantic-10. Jim Boeheim and Pitt head coach Jamie Dixon have been pushing the conference to explore playing in New York, and no legitimate talks are going about a move. Although a vote is still down the road, sources have been saying it is only a matter of time until the ACC tournament is moved to NYC. Several legal issues have to be sorted out. MSG can opt out of its contract with the new Big East if the conference does not reach certain benchmarks. Getting the Orange playing its postseason in New York would be the best possible move to keep the basketball success rolling . ...

"It's very exciting. yeah. more exciting than i thought it would be," said Ratner whose group still owns 20 percent of the Nets. "I knew it would be great, never thought it would be this great.
