Hey Diane,

You're going to have to get an updated Sig of your heart-throb, looks like Miguel has added about a dozen or more new tattoos, is the circus in town?

Once again my boy Cotto being counted out...

He's been here before how many times?
Think how far back he's been labeled as done, damaged goods or not good enough to beat the top guys?

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.

[Violent Demise]

Fighters don't come any more overrated than Austin Trout. He has talent. That's obvious. But he's not an elite fighter. I see nothing in him to make me think he has a chance of beating Miguel Cotto. I'm expecting Cotto to smash him. And smash him badly.
