I watched both postfight interviews and I must admit that both gentlemen are class acts. Cotto was graceful in defeat and Austin was humble in victory. There is no fear in Trout and he wants to clean up the 154 division and I for one say let the cleansing began. For all the wannabe champs at 154, Get Ready cause Mr Trout has thrown down the gautlet.:bbb
"I am very grateful for all the support....because of them I always bring my best." Cotto has always been a class act and has always brought his A game. That's why his fans love him. It's a great relationship.
I gotta say Trout fought a good fight and showed us what he is made of. Cotto just falls short at 154, he's just not the same fighter againsed these bigger guys, still great to watch and a good test to his opponents but not as effective.
Cotto showed a lot of respect. He will fight again. I think he has to take 6 months off and then figure if he can go down in weight. I know he cannot make 140, and by now he will be too slow for that weight, but 147 should be his focus,, and to seriously handpick the right styles to fight now.
Dang.. ever sence those bricks by Margo his face tissue just SUCKS... plus getting hit like that by a natural bigger man. Dude gotta go back to 147 we all know that hes no 154. i do agree with cotto saying that the card were WAY too wide. Trout won, but not wide like the cards say... both are good men good luck to both.
BS that Cotto has always been a class act. He's been a punk the last several fights PERIOD. He needs to stop whining, crying and throwing a fit like he got robbed. Trout made Cotto look like the elephant man. Trout looks like he just came back from a picnic.
