Miguel Cotto has been aware of what happened with his gym partner, Manny Pacquiao, last Saturday in Brisbane, Australia.

But the Puerto Rican star has not discussed the issue with his trainer Freddie Roach, who is currently preparing the boxer for his upcoming fight against Japanese slugger Yoshihiro Kamegai on August 26 in Carson, California.

Roach, who suffered a bad break when Pacquiao was shockingly upset by Australian Jeff Horn, returned to the Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles to begin working with Cotto, his other big star.

Cotto is not concerned or interested in what happened to Pacquiao, a loss that many saw as controversial.

"What happened to Manny and Freddie only concerns Manny and Freddie. It's not something that interests me," Cotto told Carlos Narvaez after leaving an afternoon training session.

"It's not something I'm going to ask about. I'm focused on my August 26 fight against Kamegai."

But Cotto, who in November of 2015 was very angry over his decision loss to Canelo Alvarez in Las Vegas, was quick to state his point about the current state of boxing.

"They are different fights and happened during different times. I think boxing is going through a difficult era of controversial decisions. We (the boxers) have to continue working and the judges must do their [jobs]," Cotto added.

Pacquiao, who asked the World Boxing Organization (WB) Wednesday for a review of the bout that took place before a crowd of over 51,000 fans gathered at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium, fell by unanimous decision with scores of 117-111, 115 -113 and 115-113.

When Cotto faced Canelo, the judges saw a very one-sided fight. Many at ringside felt the fight was much closer. The judges scored it 119-109, 118-110 and 117-111.

Cotto (40-5-33KO's), who has not fought since the loss to Canelo, will face Kamegai at the StubHub Center in a clash where the vacant WBO junior middleweight belt will be at stake.
