**** no. That fight was not close enough to be a draw. That is bull****. If anything, people were biased that night, because it was Miguel Cotto getting his ass beat. Trout won at least 7 rounds without a doubt. 9 rounds to 3 in my scorecard - for trout. Didn't Brian Kenny have it 9 rounds to 3 as well?
I had it 9-3. I was really worried the judges were going to be like Malinaggi. Seriously, Paulie is a darn good analyst but he was off on this fight. Maybe because he lost to Cotto and wanted a possible fight with Cotto in NY? Farhood for Showtime is like Lederman for HBO. They both usually have the pulse of the fight.
