Miguel Cotto takes on Austin Trout for the WBA junior middleweight title. From New York City.

I'll be watching...

 

[lparsons21]

Me too!

 

[dfergie]

Timer set in case I forget ...

 

[salsadancer7]

Yes it is! Vamos Miguel!

 

[riffjim4069]

Certainly Trout's biggest fight to date...should be a good one. Go Austin! I think on the undercard we'll see Jayson Velez vs. Danny Jacobs...another good fight.

 

[riffjim4069]

The first fight between Jacobs and Fitzpatrick was a snoozer; Fitzpatrick was a journeyman fighter and way outclassed.

 

[riffjim4069]

Velez knocked the snot out of Sanchez!

 

[riffjim4069]

Fights On!

 

[dfergie]

Come on Showtime lose the cr*p on the bottom & especially the twitter s**t ...

 

[riffjim4069]

Great fight! I have No Doubt Trout winning by 3-rounds.

 

[dfergie]

If he doesn't he was robbed ...

 

[dfergie]

All you have to do is look at their faces ...

 

[riffjim4069]

I thought Trout won a close decision, but the judge's scorecards said he won convincingly : 117-111, 117-111 and 119-109. I saw Trout having a 3-round advantage. Six was a stretch, but okay...but 10?

 

[lparsons21]

Yeah, Trout won, that isn't in question. But not nearly by as wide a margin as the judges had it.

Great fight!

True, but Cotto has one of those faces that turns red and puffy every time he's hit. Trout just did a better job taking the action to Cotto, counter-punching, and avoiding the big punches. Okay, as far as the announcers "Unofficial Scoring" goes: Al Bernstein 115-113 (not bad), Steve Farhood 117-111 (okay) and Paulie Malignaggi 114-114 (knucklehead - not sure what fight he was watching)

 

[riffjim4069]

Yeah, Trout won, that isn't in question. But not nearly by as wide a margin as the judges had it.

Great fight!

Very competitive fight...and a lot of rounds were close and hard to judge...but you came away knowing Trout had won the fight.

 

[dfergie]

It was closer than the judges, but no way this ... Paulie Malignaggi 114-114 blind, MSG koolaid drinker I guess.

Did you hear that talking a@@bag Paulie Malignaggi criticize the judge who scored the fight 119-109 by saying, Judges like that should stay home." All I can say is whomever unofficially scored the fight 114-114 should not comment on boxing.

That is why boxing is in bad shape today and will be until they get crooks like king and others out of it

Cotto seems to be a sore loser though. The interviewer was trying to ask him questions and Cotto just kept walking away. Yes he lost twice in a row now but his record is still good and I'm sure there are fighters out there who still want to fight him and I don't think there isn't much of a reason for him to quit boxing.
