yessir

so and so is the best word to use when describing how much I'm a Cotto(e) fan. He's a rare case. I usually have strong reactions towards boxers

Relentless · Sep 24, 2012

cotto's gonna beat that ***** back to nigeria.

SweetHome_Bama · Sep 24, 2012

I can't see Cotto finding a way to win this fight with his skill set, physical attributes, and in ring temperment.

Sal-Chicha · Sep 24, 2012

Trout will stink up this fight. Don't see how Trout will win this one he's awkward, but he's not close to Cotto's level. Nothing that stands out about Trout.

Cotto irá por el quinto título

Participó en una conferencia de prensa en Nueva York para anunciar su próximo combate con Austin Trout

Todo apuntaba a que Miguel Cotto disputaría una revancha con Manny Pacquiao antes de terminar el año.
Los planes del puertorriqueño, sin embargo, se cuadraron de manera diferente, de menor envergadura en cuanto a adversario.
Su próximo combate será el 1 de diciembre contra el invicto Austin Trout, quien ostenta la diadema junior mediano del AMB.
"La pelea con Pacquiao redundaba más dinero, redundaba en un nombre más grande que Austin Trout, pero también redundaba en un Miguel Cotto que tenía que bajar a las 150 libras", dijo Cotto el lunes a The Associated Press. "Ese fue el punto en el que la pelea no pasó más adelante".
Cotto (37-3 con 30 nocauts) recordó su experiencia previa con Pacquiao, cuando hace tres años fue noqueado en el duodécimo asalto por el filipino por el cetro welter del OMB.

La decisión de Cotto, quien en mayo perdió por votación de los jueces ante Floyd Mayweather Jr., alteró la agenda boxística para lo que resta de 2013.
Pacquiao optó por una cuarta pelea con el mexicano Juan Manuel Márquez, más que nada por el mayor interés que tal duelo generaba que buscar un desquite con Tim Bradley.
Enfrentar a Trout (25-0, 14 nocauts) en las 154 libras puede considerarse como un combate de transición para Cotto con miras a 2013.
El boricua viene de una cita con Mayweather que vendió 1.5 millones de subscripciones en televisión por paga en Estados Unidos, pero el combate con Trout irá por la señal de cable de Showtime.
La pelea será su octava en el Madison Square Garden, un escenario que es considerado como su segunda casa por la comunidad puertorriqueña en la ciudad que asegura un lleno completo.
También le abre la puerta para conquistar una quinta corona frente a un campeón invicto.
"Lo único que queremos es ser campeones mundiales de nuevo", dijo Cotto. "Lo vamos a hacer el 1 diciembre, luego de eso descansaremos un rato y hablaremos sobre un fructífero 2013".
No quiso aventurarse a identificar posibles rivales tras enfrentar a Trout, como Saúl "Canelo" Alvarez o Sergio Martínez. El argentino Martínez planteó su deseo de enfrentar a Cotto tras vencer el 15 de septiembre a Julio César Chávez Jr.

Tampoco puede descuidarse del zurdo Trout, quien ha defendido tres veces el título desde que lo conquistó en febrero de 2011 tras vencer en México a Rigoberto Alvarez, el hermano mayor del "Canelo" Alvarez que actualmente ostenta el cetro de la división en el CMB.
"He sido fanático de Cotto desde siempre", dijo Trout, quien en la presentación el lunes en el Museo del Barrio de Nueva York tuvo que soportar las burlas de los partidarios del boricua que cada vez que escuchaban el apellido del estadounidense gritaban "who" (quién).
"Admiro mucho a Cotto, siempre ha estado dispuesto a pelear con los mejores. Es un honor estar en esa lista y será un mayor honor estar dentro del grupo de boxeadores que le han ganado".
Después de su derrota ante Mayweather y con 31 años, Cotto acepta el desafío para seguir adelante en su carrera.
"Es un buen retador. Todo fue sencillo tras Mayweather. Todo el mundo pudo ver la gran pelea, una gran demostración. Miguel Cotto le dio a entender al mundo quién es Miguel Cotto y qué tiene. Hay que seguir entrenando para demostrar que aún tengo", señaló el puertorriqueño.

Key points:

1. Cotto makes reference and states that he was drained for the Pac fight. This is the very first time he publicly I have heard/read him say so! Interesting!!!

2. He sees a fight vs. Martinez could be made if his team and him decide that is the path...it will happen!

Wow, Cotto is taking no prisioners!

WAR MIGUEL!!! Guerra Cotto!

Quotes from the Press Conference:

MIGUEL COTTO:
The fans here make me proud of the Puerto Rican heritage in New York.
Austin Trout is a world champion. I always go for the best fights possible and Austin was the best option for us. Ive learned a lot in camp from Pedro (Diaz) and I know hes going to get me ready to win another world title.
People here [in New York] make me feel at home; people here make me feel comfortable. They root for me and they give me the support I need to beat anyone.
Hes a world champion, hes undefeated. Hes a dangerous fighter and he was the right opponent for me, but Ill still walk out of the ring with another belt on December 1st.
My mom has always been such a big support. My dad isnt here anymore so its always good to have family with me when I train and fight.
The crowd here in New York is electrifying. I get a different feeling when I fight here.
Camp just began two weeks ago. Im going to train hard to beat my opponent and be champion of the world.
AUSTIN TROUT:
I know the Puerto Rican fans are going to be out in full-force, but on December 1st, there is going to be a new star in boxing. Theyre going to see why Im here, why Im the champion. I have two things in this sport right now my belt and my undefeated record and I plan to keep both of them.
Im going to take this opportunity with both hands and Im run with it. Its very honorable to be on that list of people Cotto has fought because hes fought the best, but its going to be even better to be on that list of the people that have beaten Cotto.
He can have whoever he wants in the crowd because its only me and him in the ring. Im not worried about the crowd and fighting in New York. Ill do my job no matter where I fight.
Ive been in hostile waters before down in Mexico and it gave me experience for this fight. Theres only one man whos going to be in the ring with me.
Weve wanted this fight for years. We knew we had to knock off some people first to get it, but Im very grateful to say the least.
Im one of the most avoided fighters in boxing, so I thank him for the opportunity to fight him on this stage. This weight class is stacked and Im going to clean it up.
Its a dream come true to fight at Madison Square Garden. Im a Knicks fan and Ive been there for a Knicks game and it was electric.
HECTOR SOTO:
Miguel has fought here seven times; he defended his title six times. On December 1st, hes going to win another world title.
OSCAR DE LA HOYA:
Miguel Cotto is one of the most legendary and exciting fighters in Puerto Rican history. Every fight he has at Madison Square Garden is electric, and his return on December 1st wont be any different.
This fight solidifies SHOWTIME as THE place to watch fights on TV.
Puerto Rico has produced some of the best boxers in the world. The people of Puerto Rico respect Miguel because of the passion he has for fighting. When he fights, you know hes going to give it his all.
Hes held a world title every year since 2004. He now looks to solidify his Hall of Fame career on December 1st against World Champion Austin Trout.
STEPHEN ESPINOZA:
Miguel Cotto fighting in NYC is a celebration. We are proud to be in business with Miguel Cotto Promotions this fighter is a true icon in the sport of boxing. He is a warrior who has fought the biggest names in the sport and will fight anyone, anytime.
A few months ago, Miguel fought Floyd Mayweather and turned in a performance that many people thought Cotto won. Coming off that fight, Miguel could have taken a soft opponent, but he agreed to take on one of the toughest world titlists in this division. Austin Trout is young, strong and athletic. He defended his title on June 2nd on SHOWTIME and were thrilled to have him back defending against a legend like Miguel Cotto.
Im also excited to announce that a new edition of our sports documentary series ALL ACCESS will be dedicated to this marquee matchup. ALL ACCESS: Cotto vs. Trout will take viewers behind the scenes as the fighters prepare for this event. It will reveal aspects of Miguel Cottos unique training camp for this fight and introduce sports fans at-large to the American champion, Austin Trout.
JOEL FISHER:
The boxing media and the fans will have an opportunity to see Phase 2 of the Transformation [of Madison Square Garden] on December 1st as it will be our first big night of boxing in the arena
Madison Square Garden, as you know, has a rich boxing tradition and has hosted hundreds of champions throughout the years and we are excited to welcome Miguel back to his home away from home for this match against Austin Trout on December 1st.
Miguel, as you are aware, has a great fan base in New York and has had great success at the Garden.
We have been lucky enough to build a great relationship with Miguel and his team over the years and were looking forward to seeing him step into our ring for what will be another exciting night of championship boxing at MSG.
We have met hundreds of fighters throughout the years who have said that it has been their dream to fight at Madison Square Garden where all the legends of the sport have fought. This will be Austins debut at The Garden and would like to welcome him to the Gardens boxing tradition.
VITO MIELNICKI:
Our fighter is young and hungry. On December 1st, Austin will become the next American superstar a star will be born.
BOB SPAGNOLA:
I hear it from everybody, Who is Austin Trout? We had a journey to get here. We didnt have a lot of opportunities to fight in chosen fights. When we got a chance to fight for a world title we had to go to Mexico to get it.
Coming to Madison Square Garden is a dream come true for every fighter and by the end of the evening you wont have to ask, Who is Austin Trout?
