And where does he go from here.
As far as last night, imo he tried being too cute. He boxed pretty well, but trout was able to effectively take some things away from cotto, mostly due to his size and slickness. Cotto was able to hurt/stun trout, sometime around the third or fourth round iirc.
Somethings to note, first time ive been kinda disappointed in pedro. Cotto is seemingly trying to be too cute when he boxes, almost to the point where he is almost amateurish in just trying to get points, and where the fuk was his jab? Should be his number one punch, always working behind it, etc. Oh, and pedro, can you tell Miguel how to block a fukn uppercut? His whole freakin career....
As far as where he goes from here, im not too interested in seeing a rematch. Its a fight cotto can win, but due to trouts size and slickness, its a longshot. Cotto would have to change his game up, not try to be so cute and just brawl. Theres a time to box, and theres a time to fight.
Canelo is a better matchup stylistically for cotto, but at the same time he is a big jr middleweight aswell who throws brutal shots, things could get interesting and turn bad for cotto quickly. Personally, id like to see miguel go back to 147. I think he can make it healthily, and is just lazy in this regard. Some good fights/matchups are here, including Guerrero, pac or marquez, etc.
What say you?
