Comments Thread For: Austin Trout Shocks Miguel Cotto With Lopsided Win

[GRUSTLER]

so is cotto's. now we know why floyd avoided cotto and went into retirement. if the roided floyd struggled with this faded cotto, the small non roiding version of floyd vs the fresh cotto would have been a beat down.

Are you seriously going to start talking about this on the thread for Trout who just won? Come on man. Get off Floyd's nuts.

I don't understand these guys thinking. Mayweather only gave up 3 rounds to Cotto at best. Wasn't close like so many want to believe. It was competitive at times but not close. Anyway, can people on this thread just talk about Trout and Cotto?

Also, Floyd is 35, and Trout is at the peak of his prime at 27. Good win for Trout though and that's "No Doubt"

the judge who had it 119-109 need to go suck on something..GTFOH!!!....props to Trout, he did his thing

[LADIV]

cong**** to trout on his win,and cotto dont be a sore looser,be humble in defeat
you said to ask the crowd who won and i think the whole msg saw you loose.
the look on your wifes face and your kids said it all.

i was thinking the same thing. some dummy said the same thing in the rbr thread. cong**** to trout though, he solidified himself as the no. 2 best 154 lber. hopefully alvarez doesn't duck him, but i think gbp will. they'll probably cash him out to mayweather.

Canelo is too big for Floyd, Floyd is looking to move back down to 47..

He had a much easier time when he made Trout chase. I'm surprised he didn't stick with that strategy after that one round he had where he kept nailing Trout coming in. Maybe Cotto didn't have the stamina to keep it up, ?Trout was nailing his body all night.

To be honest, I didn't keep up with all the pre fight stuff, so I don't know what was going on in their heads... but - it would seem that based off of Trouts last fight that maybe Cotto thought Austin was going to be super definsive and try to clinch a lot. Maybe in thinking that he thought it would be better to just go in there and be the bully. He seemed somewhat suprised that Trout was actually in there fighting and using his size advantage (well) and Cotto either didn't have a plan B, or by the time he thought about implimenting it, it was too late. I'd love to see how a rematch would fare between them, with Cotto boxing and moving like he did in the Marg rematch. I think it would be a toooootallly different fight.

But props to Trout though, his stock definately went up in my books.

Exactly! We are trying to talk about Trout's future in the sport after this big win and all these guys can talk about is Mayweather? Ridiculous. You can't compare Floyd/Cotto to Cotto/Trout because there are too many aspects to them fights. Only thing that is similar is Floyd shut Cotto out on the cards and so did Trout. How did Trout make Floyd look exposed? Mayweather got caught with some good punches and so did Trout. This is Miguel Cotto we are talking about.

wow trout beat cotto decisively and cotto gave mayweather all he could handle


what does that say about mayweather?



good for trout tho, good kid

wow Thomas Hearns KTFO Roberto Duran and Duran gave Sugar Ray Leonard all he could handle the first fight! What does that say about Sugar Ray Leonard?

.... You are not smart.

I'm thinking that GBP may match Canelo with Kirkland...or even Bundrage
