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

Well done to Trout. Outboxed Cotto comprehensively consistently landing. Not only that he was able to beat Cotto up in the clinches and used his size to puch Cotto about.

Cotto either needs to retire or go back to 147.

Man was I wrong about no doubt Trout. The guy can fight. I had Trout winning this fight 115 to 113. Cotto had an off night he couldn't land his combinations all night he forgot to throw the right hand. Props to Trout for bringing the heat last night and winning this fight on the score cards very hard to do in NYC. It's a tough loss for Cotto he fought well he'll bounce back like he always does. Trout is a tough fighter Cotto has nothing to be ashamed of. I would like to see Canelo fight Trout next. Hey if Cotto had the balls to fight Trout so should Canelo.

the trout fight was a toss up, i dont know wht you lot were watching but it's obvious is was rigged, from boxnations bullsht to the wide ass scores for trout

A ****ING toss up!?! You know **** about boxing. Cotto won 3-6 at best. Maybe 10, but I dont think one good punch was enough to win the round for him. No matter what the announcers told you.

Trout did a great job using his reach to keep Cotto at a distance throughout the fight.

Paulie is the only one that watched the fight that scored it a draw. What other reason could it be other than an attempt on his part to make the fighter that whooped his a$$ look better? Maybe he thought Cotto would come over to ring side and break his face again. Simply put I don't know how anyone who knows anything about the sport of boxing that could have scored that fight a draw or even close.

That would have been some s**t to see. Cotto comes over to ringside and breaks Malignaggi's face again after being thoroughly outpointed.

Trout arguably swept the last 6 rounds, and you only gave him 3 rounds in the entire fight?

Only a boxing novice and utter ****** could think Cotto was robbed lol. That fight in all honesty wasn't even that close. Paulie is a great commentator and has a lot of boxing knowledge but he is HORRIBLE at scoring fights and making predictions. Honestly, he was sucking Cotto's **** too much. I gave Cotto 2 rounds, 3 max and that is being generous. If Trout would have pressed the gas more he would have stopped Cotto 100%. Boxers like Trout and Floyd are just too skilled and talented for Cotto I hate to say, respect to Cotto but its true. If you notice that if you can take Cotto's power, you can wear him down and beat him. You always know when Cotto is in trouble because he starts getting on his bicycle and backing up. When Cotto starts backing up that is the tell tale sign the tide is turning in the fight for the other fighter.

he deserved that.

I had the fight 115-113 for Trout. That was a great performance on his part, I thought it was pretty close up until the late middle rounds when Trout REALLY got in his game and really started to outbox Cotto. That was a great performance on his part. Competitive, close, but decisive. I don't see why people think this was a robbery, Trout clearly won this fight. I don't agree with the 117-111 and 119-109 scores, but this was definitely Trout's night. A fight with Canelo and Trout would be good.

Whoever said Trout hugged too much needs to watch again. A LOT of clinches were initiated by Cotto. It was smart as he tried to maul Trout up and bring him squat to land the hook.
