Not hard to tell who won from the aftershots. Austin Trout unmarked >>> This content is protected Miguel Cotto looking very much the worse for wear >>> This content is protected
I was surprised by Trout today looked absolutely terrific outboxing Cotto especially as the bout wore on. Cotto should never have left Top Rank. TR wouldn't have let Cotto tackle a better boxer coming off the Mayweather loss.
how was it sensational? thats a bit far fetched and disrespectful to trout. a lot of people (including me) picked trout to get a decision over cotto
Most didn't pick Trout, and he'd never beaten anyone remotely as good as Cotto. The win will catapult Trout to a much higher world standing. I'm more than happy to stick with 'sensational', but if you wanted to go with 'great' or 'very good', I wouldn't have a problem with that either.
