But there is one undeniable, irrefutable point to be made about last night’s WBC/WBA light middleweight title unification –…
Few suspected Austin Trout (26-0-0 14 KO’s) would be able to boss Puerto Rican boxing legend Miguel Cotto, but he did it. Not many would visualize that Saul “El Canelo” Alvarez (41-0-1 30 KO’s) would obliterate every opponent to go 41-0 as a professional, but he did it. How well will the next chapter unfold…
It may not constitute fight of the year honors, like the Rios-Alvarado 2 and Bradley-Provodnikov bouts in the last few weeks, but it was one of the greatest performances and upsets by any professional prizefighter so far in 2013.

But in the end, it was a decisive victory for Spadafora on the scorecards by margins of…
