Trout Not Concerned About Judges in Cotto Clash
Austin Trout is used to fighting in hostile enemy territory. He's fought in Mexico several times against Mexican fighters.

Cotto routinely draws sell-out crowds at MSG and has become a fan favorite there. Though Cotto is from Puerto Rico, he might as well call the Garden home. After-all, it's the home of most of the best nights of Cotto's career.

Up until he was chosen by Cotto, his title and unbeaten status hardly mattered when it came to securing a big fight. Trout wasn’t even the first choice for this particular gig. Cotto was targeting a rematch with Manny Pacquiao, only for plans to fall through when the two sides couldn’t agree on several intangibles. Trout will get to walk into the ring last and also have his name announced as defending champion for the capacity crowd and Showtime-televised audience to see and hear. But make no mistake; this is a Miguel Cotto promotion until Trout can definitively prove otherwise.
