Comments Thread For: Cotto on Trout's Road Wins: This Time Will Be Different

BIGPOPPAPUMP

NEW YORK — Miguel Cotto looked on respectfully Wednesday as Austin Trout, his promoter and his manager mentioned Trout’s previous victories in hostile territory.

The WBA 154-pound champion beat Mexico’s Rigoberto Alvarez by unanimous decision in Guadalajara to win the then-vacant title in February 2011. The 27-year-old southpaw previously topped Panama’s Nilson Tapia by majority decision in Panama City.

Those are among the reasons the unbeaten Trout (25-0, 14 KOs) isn’t intimidated by the thought of boxing Cotto at Madison Square Garden, Cotto’s home away from home, on Saturday night (9 p.m. ET; Showtime).

Cotto couldn’t care less. He emphasized Trout’s significant step up in competition Saturday night, despite that the Las Cruces, N.M., native will make the fourth defense of his championship.

How does Showtime go from giving us 4 fights on a card to just one??? They should have includes at least one more. They could have shown one of the undercard fights. Jacobs and Sanchez at least have storylines to them.

Trout is a nice guy too, it's going to be a little rough watching him getting beaten down tonight.

Trout us a very cool guy but I'm pulling for one of the best in Boxing in the last 10 years, Cotto. Both guys are really likeable.

Cotto needs a knockout to win.
