Who won? In your opinion.

Cotto had one too many burritos during training camp thats for sure

Must we revisit the whole plaster controversy again?

And I was actually ringside at the garden when Cotto gave him a boxing lesson last year.

There was no plaster controversy. I was ringside for the first fight when both were prime. The rematch was a joke. Margarito had one eye and was totally shot.

To make matters worse, the bum Puerto Rican "doctor" stopped the fight after Tony had his best round in that **** rematch. I'm done w/ you.

I red K'd you. Cotto was never that good. He's been overrated his entire career.

boxing lesson without the last 3 rounds. what happened in the last 3 rounds of this fight? beat down. we know why they stopped it. not to protect margarito but to protect cotto.

I gave Cotto round 9, but "dominant" isn't a word I'd use to describe Trout's performance. He was winning the rounds but Cotto was always in them for long periods - hence Cotto's reaction at the end.

Dominant is definitely a word I'd use.

He outlanded him, landing cleaner, more effective punches in the majority of the rounds.

Trout's style was just all wrong for Cotto. Nothing he could do. Plus, it was the first time he fought a legit 154 pounder.

???

They stopped it because medical clearance for Margarito's eye had been a big controversy before the fight and it was getting messed up during the fight. In other circumstances they might have let Margo fight on, but there is a duty of care.

Regardless, I think Cotto would have held on this time against one-eyed Marg, he looked fresher and had taken less punishment than in the first 8 rounds of the first fight.

you're right. a 3 weight world champion is a bum and a one weight world champion who got most of his biggest fights handed to him by playing the 'bad guy' role after he was banned for trying to use plaster in his hand wraps is "world class".....you're a wise and rational man.

this is so unnecesary...trout won clearly
