Because Rodriguez wouldn't engage. Cotto can't outbox him, and will have to come forward...which he does in straight lines. Smart of Haymon to get Trout this fight at the right time.
Good match-up between a largely unknown but certainly talented opponent who is tough and well schooled enough to give anyone at 154 problems, including Cotto. That said, Cotto 's strong performance against Mayweather indicates that he's not done as a serious force just yet, and if he performs as well in this fight, he may well be able to inflict the first loss on No Doubt's record. Yeah...The more think about how these two match up, the more I like this fight. It's definitely something I look forward to watching.:good
I like the fight a lot. Didn't see it coming, I wish it was Canelo, but this is a very good backup Is this ppv?
well i guess Arum was right. about Cotto taking easier fights after losses. props to him for giving a new guy a chance at the big fights.
