    Better than advertised.

    There is a chance of an upset here, trout has looked very good, he's untested yes, but what if he passes the test.

    The usual ignorance is afoot, always is where Cotto is involved. We know cottos flaws and I think trout has a very good chance to join the slick black G club

    Very good fight. I'm surprised Cotto took this fight instead of a big money bout.

    Watched the build up show, Two caring,hard working, honest men who do the sport justice. Miguel fights the best and Trout fights anywhere and everywhere.

    I haven't seen a Trout fight but seen clips, he's pretty decent. Handspeed, variety and decent reactions and got long limbs so he can shoot in with punches and get out quick.

    I sense Cotto's jab and left hook will really trouble him though with that low hand lead and i think he will be surprised by the accuracy of Cotto.

    Good fight but think Cotto will win on points, I wouldn't write Austin off he's a good enough customer (from what i've seen) to cause a shock if Miguel's not at 100%. Just think Miguel has the tools to break down southpaws like Trout.

    I think we're going to have a controversial Cotto points win at MSG.

    There's definitely something fishy about him. He seems shifty.

    The All Access programme made me like him (ALOT) he's pretty down to earth, has a nice family and most of all he's very funny.

    Cotto is probably my favourite fighter, but after All Access I wouldn't mind if Trout won. Plus he replied to me on twitter, which was good.
