Miguel Cotto vs Austin Trout - Saturday night fight/chat thread

[IamInuit]

I'll be cheering my ass off for Cotto but I have this feeling Trout is going to win this in what some fans will perceive as an upset.

I could see Austin boxing his way to a close decision win, but I really doubt it. I believe Miguel is going to be too much for Trout to handle.

I think it was a mistake for Cotto to take this fight. Cotto has improved greatly especially defensively under Diaz but Trout is a real spoiler here.

Nothing like a literal crossroads fight. I gotta go Cotto with big fight experience and his improved jabbing, just a deeper guy..though yes, a bit battle worn. A part of me didn't like the way he was talking in lead up, almost...almost sounded like a guy settled with one foot out the door of the game. He has to look at Trout as every bit a threat as a Manny etc. No tomorrows. Trout is a low key guy and a definite cutey style with the future at his feet. He'll need to step up in activity and keep his head if he hopes to win...not coast and leave the crowd booing like last time. You have to stamp out Cotto to beat him, be a constant. I don't think Trout has that from what I've seen yet.
