Cotto v Trout post fight analysis, comments etc.

[Violent Demise]

Cotto should retire. But he didn't take a big enoough beating to convince himself of it. He will if he fights Alvarez

Love Miguel Cotto. That guy has given us everything and fought pretty much everyone you would want him too. I think if he quit now he'd leave with dignity but we all know how difficult it is for a boxer to hang em up.

I haven't read through the whole thread, but I agree that Cotto should retire. He gave it his best shot, but his punches weren't doing much to Trout. Cotto's face looked like hell after the fight. Also, Cotto's words sound like someone who's already got one foot out the door. He's got a wonderful family... and what man wouldn't want to spend time with that? I still think Cotto, for his size, did as much as he could at 154. That is not his best weight. That he won any championships at all at that weight is astounding. But Trout was younger, bigger, faster. I had a pretty good crowd over at the house watching the fight, and we got quieter and quieter as the fight went along. After 7-8 rounds... you sort of know where the fight is going.

On a happier note, I was ecstatic at seeing some good Puerto Rican prospects put in some very good efforts. Young blood coming up. That's what the sport's all about.

Really thought the scoring was atrocious by the judges especially the always dismal Adelayde Byrd...11-1

Had it a draw myself, but could see 7-5 Trout.

Cotto's face swells up easy these days much like Judah's, but a lot of Trout's punches were partially blocked or missed.

Cotto def won a good 5 rounds, but looked tired down the stretch.

Trout showed good skills a smart gameplan and a good chin as well.

Cotto might need to think about retirement or working on that stamina, he was not in the kind of shape he was in for the Floyd fight.

When the fuck did you become Puerto Rican?

About the same time Al Bernstein and Paulie Malinaggi became Puerto Rican.

I knew Al had that sort of Latin look to him.
