    Did anyone predict Trout over Cotto?

    I'll admit when I heard about this fight, I said no way is Cotto losing, not because of Trout's skills, but because it was in Madison Square Garden and unless he gets knocked out, he isn't losing on the cards.

    Anyone here say Trout was going to win? I didn't lol

    I like Trout so I was hoping he would win. I don't know if I predicted it but if I did, it wasn't with great confidence.

      Trout was a live dog but no one really expected him to win.

      1 or 2 picked him on here but not many.

        Can't remember if I picked him or bet because he was at very good odds but I definitely won some good money on the fight.

          i remember i had as a 50-50 fight because of trout's boxing skills,reach, and movement but gave a slight edge to cotto since it was in new york(home cooking)...but i had it 8 rounds to 4 and glad trout wasn't robbed.

              All I remembered in that fight was Trout was so terrified of Cotto's left hook and thus his game plan was geared towards avoiding it at all costs.
              Cotto couldn't get inside and every time he does, Trout clinches, but Cotto could still land punches even at a clinched state. Problem was, the ref interfered too effing much.

                Thanks for the replies.

                My friend didn't know who the heck trout was except he looked really big compared to Cotto. I told him I don't think Madison Square Garden will pick against Cotto, lol glad they did and got the decision correct.

                  I said at the time Miguel Cotto may have bitten off more than he could chew. But I also picked Austin Trout over Saul Alvarez, lol.

                    lol that wasn't a bad pick, I picked Trout of Alvarez too and thought it would've been different if they didn't all of a sudden decide on open scoring.

                    Maybe Trout still loses but I think his game plan would've definitely been different without the open scoring.
