Cotto gets absolutely schooled. Being an excellent out-fighter, Lara is going to use his height and reach advantage to maximum effect. Cotto would struggle finding him, and with cotto's habit of leaning over his front foot, I would expect Lara to lace him with left uppercuts at will.

No, absolutely no way. That was an 8-4 fight and if one decided to give round 9 to Cotto (I didn't) a round in which the commentators found close, it's a 7-5 fight. Just an overrated performance by Trout if one looks at the many thoughts that were expressed on here afterwards.Comment

Cotto's conditioning was pretty awful against Trout but even then it was a winnable fight for him. The mistake Cotto did is that he didn't take rounds off similar to what Canelo did, he also had an opportunity to rest after a low blow and decided to quickly resume the action.Comment

When the stage is biggest - Lara will freeze. He's so overrated.
The Trout fight for Cotto was a one off - his worst performance and he took an L. He came out flat and lost. It really doesn't define anything. The mediocre Lara we saw two weeks ago is the same Lara we've always seen. If Cotto who showed up for Geale fights two weeks ago against Lara, Lara would have ran sprints outside of the ropes.
The dude is so gunshy ever since Angulo put them paws on him. He's literally surviving off of his loss from P. Williams.Comment

Lara wins on points by using his speed and defensive and offensive boxing skills. Cotto likes to work behind his jab but Lara has an even better, longer and more accurate right jab than Cotto's left jab. I think Lara would land his long straight left often and he might even get the KO although he is a safety first type of fighter. Lara outboxed Trout by a mile and Trout outboxed Cotto. Cotto has improved with Roach and might beat Trout in a rematch but he will never beat Canelo or Lara in my opinion..Comment
