I had it 7-5 trout, buy could see 8-4 trout. Cotto stole the fight early lost the championship rounds.
Malignaggi has the word bias written all over him. I wouldn't be surprised if he's related to Teddy Atlas
Cotto looked bad the first few rounds, picked it up in the mid rounds and won some of them handily, and lost the later rounds.
Trout started strong and looked the better man towards the end. Still struggled against a slow Cotto. This wasn't the same Cotto Floyd fought this fight was a 7-5 fight for Trout, but a draw wouldn't have surprised me.
Cotto beat up Paulie back in the day and broke his jaw so Paulie wants to think of cotto in the garden as a beast because of his own ego!!!
Agreed. I know it seems the most logical to think if somebody beat you down, you'd want to watch somebody else beat them down, but often not the case. If somebody beats the guy who beat you... Makes you look worse honestly. At least if they continue to win your loss don't look so bad. Not to unrealistic to score it a draw though, and I don't think Paulie is being overly biased. Pretty obvious to me Trout had the better night, but it was close.
Some rounds were very close but Trout won 7-8 rounds in a clear enough fashion. I've watched it 3 times now and being a big Cotto fan I still struggle to give him more than 4 rounds.
that's whats not being spoken of ... everybody worth a damn seemed to have the fight close but the judges had it blow out perportions you let that **** happen to pac or floyd you'd be having a **** storm of publicity boxing wants rid of this cotto fella
