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

[Light_Speed]

Good win for Trout. Cotto needs to drop back to 147. And he also needs to stop running out of the ring like an abused squirrel every time he loses a clear cut decision. Be a man, take your decision and give your interview in the ring like everyone else. You were the attraction in the garden, not Trout. Show respect to your fans.


And for those asking, Mayweather is a lil smaller than Cotto, thats why that fight was more competitive. Plus Mayweather didn't move around much at all in the fight. When he kept his distance, Floyd pretty much had his way. When he shelled up in the shoulder roll, that when Cotto had "moments" while still getting chipped up repeatedly.

Good post.

There's 3 of you?

Teddy Atlas in Fight Night: "I had it a little closer, I had it a split decision."

Must be fun for someone with multiple personalities to watch a fight. You can argue with yourself and get a variety of opinions.

Trout won that fight by pulling the last rounds. He pitty patted punched a lot in the first half of the fight.

Those scores were too wide for my taste but which ever way Trout won that fight

[Averiguau]

I didn't saw the fight, but it seems "the strategy" to beat Trout didn't work.... or the guy was just simply too big and young.

Eager to see if those "moments" Cotto has was boxing more that getting inside. I saw a strategy on Margarito and in some rounds against Mayweather, but every time Cotto wanted to rely only on power it was just wrong (I.e. he didn't do that against Mosley).

So it seems no torso or lateral movements again? Just, "I want to KO Trout"? Well, it didn't work! Cong**** Trout!

i don't know why yall shocked by this. This dude was not good stylistically for Cotto. Trout fights tall, has good speed, is a southpaw. Cotto is a converted southpaw with weak straight right. Cotto is too small for this division and his body punch and punching power in general is LACKING at this weight. Fought unimpressive fighters at SWW.
One of the less intelligent thing i have seen the pre-fight card. it gave almost every advantage to Trout but had Cotto winning due to "intangibles". Almost laughable......Cotto is much better at the lower weights but this is too much for him. Been saying that for a while.

Expected to be...

Well, personally I was already expecting that Cotto will lose the fight, just like other boxers, they are getting old once you are old enough to get into the ring, your perseverance and determination degrades..

Look at Mayweather, he won't fight Pacquiao knowing his getting old and knowing that his ability is not like before... He knows that, it's always be the reason why he won't accept the challenge from PacMan.. anyways,, too much for this fight (Cotto and Trout) ... let's move on.. see u next week on Pacquiao vs Marquez 4... how do you see it? either of the two will win, will there be a 5th bout? What do you think...?
