I see Austin as your typical "robotic" fighter fighter who does everything to the book. He doesn't have angles, he doesn't have waist movement and his ring generalship lacks. Aside from being younger I don't believe he posses any skills that will trouble Cotto.

All Cotto has to do is show up and fight his fight. Cotto wins.

Not by me friend. Cotto is my guy and I think he wins. I just think Trout is being a little underestimated based on the Delvin fight.

Yo Tam, couldn't your parents spell? J/k bro - This card begins @9:00 PM ET on Showtime Saturday here in the States, and at 2:00 AM Sunday morning for you hardcore fans/night owls in the UK/Europe, et al. (on BoxNation?

The fights come on tonight in about an hour and 15 mins. I've got a little buzz tonight, WTF, sobriety is overrated. :scratchchin::happy0931sb4:

Its getting late man haha! and both of my parents can spell btw haha, both are in fact teachers. I dont think im staying up for this im going to watch burnley - blackburn tomorrow which is a big derby for are football club and its an early kick off so i need sleep I will check up here in the morning hoping Cotto has won a battle in NY.

---

I'm sure "Tam" must be a British thing, us yanks don't understand. :)
Give us an update in the morning. cheers

Buncey telling some story about Gerry Cooney lifting him up by his foot ;D

Aloha guys and gal. Good to see Ears Jacob right back at it, hope they step him up down the road. He already has a championship in beating that asshole that is cancer!

I think Cotto pulls out the text book and holds Trouts face in it and will have him repeating lines late. Trout is an ok guy but he's never been this deep and I don't think he has the ferocity to make a Cotto wilt. DING fookin DING!!!

I think Jacobs puts Ginger to sleep in the first 5.

Oops, Daniel Jacobs vs. Chris Fitzpatrick, 10 rounds, middleweights up first, sorry folks, a triple header.

Good evening peeps. Spaten definitely do good beers. Their Oktoberfest beer is really good when you're in the mood to drink something cold anmd refreshing.

The Corona girls are fantastic tonight but Corona, like all the big Mexican beers, is piss. Any time you've got to jam a wedge of lime in the neck of a bottle to make it taste of something you might as well not bother.

God Fitzpatrick's handspeed is soooo slow, that even Stevie Wonder could see a punch coming. :cool:

Real nice up swing by Jacobs, putting them together! Time to close the road testing down in 4th

Corona gals have to be the most effective form of subliminal ads I've ever seen btw

Jacobs doesn't seem any worse for the wear because of the cancer, he's beating the piss out of Fitzpatrick.

I guess it comes down to is what Trout brings to the dance, who knows the dude could fight the fight of his life, that's what's fun about boxing. What i'd like to see is Cotto starching this mo-fo, but you never know.

The ginger guy wants the ref to stop it but the ref is doing a Smoger impersonation.

EDIT: Ah.

It's good to see Jacobs back. It is great to see someone overcome cancer and box.

Spaden Optimator is actually a malt liquor, it's got some bite to it, 7.6 % according to the label, it's got a good heavy German beer taste, i'll definitely be buying some more.

Jacobs stops Fitzpatrick, no surprise there, dude looks pretty damn good for a cancer survivor.

I hope Trout does. Nothing beats a quality crossroads match. Great shout out to Macho time by Jacobs

Goin old school here btw. Red Stripe ;D

That fight when on to long

Do your uncle proud Sal.

10 rd title fight?

Beating this Salvador Sanchez don't mean the same as beating the original Salvador Sanchez

Now we've got, Jayson Velez vs. Salvador Sanchez II, 10 rounds, junior lightweights, if I were Velez I might be slightly intimidated by Sanchez II's hair, but that's just me. :cool:

Didn't they call this the 'Silver wbc championship'...???

How does a guy not ranked in top ten fight for any championship?

Eh, and besides it's a nephew, this fucker looks lame.

Velez should be ashamed of himself for letting Sanchez see the 2nd round

Sanchez has an awe inspiring hairdo, I hope he can pull a surprise.

Sanchez II blocking punches with his face.

Yeah. This isn't lasting much longer.

I blame the hair for that KD. It's slowing him down.

They should stop this mismatch, and lol at the trainer slapping sanchez

Just because you wear your uncle's trunks, and copy his do, doesn't mean that you are going to be able to fight like him. :p

Hope he doesn't hit him too hard or all the owls nesting in that fro will fly the fuck out

horseshit...they called it WBC silver belt title..wtf ??? Sanchez ranked 11th

Impressive hair, but probably not sensible.

You can tell which fighter had amatuer experience and which didn't

Sanchez II came, saw, and got his ass handed to him.:rasta:

Salvador Sanchez up in heaven telling everybody "I don't know that muthafukka"

Dude didn't have a chance with that do, it's like the Samson thing, only in reverse.

Proof that you can wear Supermans cape, but you better just stick to jumping off of the front porch.

Joke "championship"...a bad one. Like Gallagher bad

Damn. He talks like his name is Orlando Cruz

Velez should slap the fuck out of Jim Gray, just for fun.

I'm not all that excited about this Cotto fight. It's one of the weaker fights of a terrific December. Looking at Trouts record, he hasn't really beaten anyone. It's a filler fight really.

Here we go with the main, (Diane's palms are sweating).
