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

[Spicoli]

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

Just got in, how's the fight so far? Cotto looks very small next to Trout.

[beenKOed]

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.

You called it, Trout stepped up and changed things.

Just like everything in life there are always questions.
Is Trout really that good, or has Cotto slowed up?
If Trout is that good, who will/should he fight next?

I think Trout's that good and Cotto has slowed a little. I'm glad for Trout and sad for Cotto.

Yeah... Cotto should hang them up. He's had a wonderful career, but he can no longer hang with the big boys at 154. And he'll never go back to 147, so I think it's better for him to retire while somewhat on top of his game. He's a smart guy, so I think he will.

COMPLETE COTTO – TROUT UNDERCARD RESULTS FROM NEW YORK


I was able to see most of the undercard and was thrilled to see some of our good local prospects win their respective fights. Jeffrey Fontanez looked fantastic, and so did Jayson Velez. Exciting times ahead for P.R. boxing. Cotto looks to be on the way out, after a wonderful, HOF career. But that's boxing.... new blood coming in to replace the old blood.

The thing is Cotto, could be offered good money to face Canelo , this would be one fight to many for
Miguel, he has taken some stick. Canelo would sure give him some more, and I can see him taking a
beating if this fight was to happen.!

I don't think Cotto's shot at all... matter of fact I think his career has been rejuvenated a bit with the presence of Pedro Diaz in his corner. Trout doesn't seem to bring that much to the table. I also see a Cotto UD or maybe late TKO.

How long do you think it will be before VD shows up and predicts Austin will kick Cotto's ass. lmao.

No... VD won't leave himself open like that. He'll discredit Trout beforehand, saying he's a bum. That way, if Cotto posts an impressive victory, VD can come in and brush it off as meaningless.

I'll be at MSG for this one. My 4th Cotto MSG fight.

I think Trout is a very live underdog and his southpaw stance will give Cotto trouble since Cotto relies so heavily on his left hand.

That being said, I'm picking Cotto and you have to assume he'll get the benefit of any close rounds in
NYC.

Awful undercard btw. Shame on Golden Boy and Showtime.

You've always got to wonder too, how much Cotto has left in the tank after being in so many wars, but i've gotta believe that Miguel will have more then enough left to take care of business against Trout. This is by far Trout's biggest challenge, and Cotto has a huge advantage in championship experience and the competition he's faced.
