    trout was a full fledged junior middle
    cotto is a blown up little 140 pounder
    he got his little ears boxed off

    because cotto is a blown-up ww fighting with guys that are naturally 10 pounds heavier

    no different than when shane tried fighting at 154 and got pushed around by a legit 154 winky

    cotto is going to get embarrased against sergio who probably isnt even 80 of what he once was

    I think Cotto may have underestimated a young, hungry and much larger fighter and paid the price. Cotto also looked uninterested throughout the fight. Cotto whoops him second time round.

    Last time i looked, Trout, a brother named after a fish, was schooled by a mexican with ginger hair.

    I think the main difference was the size factor.

    He performed poorly because Diaz had him training in altitude.

    Yeah, it was a probably a style thing. Not sure if Cotto would be able to adapt in a rematch tbh. He'd have to do a 180 on his boxing style basically.

    There was a big difference is size and reach, Cotto couldn't consistently get inside to hurt Trout.

    I wish I could get the time I wasted watching that fight back, Trout is just so uncomfortable, to fight, watch, etc. Cotto lost because Trout was just too damn big and long "no Homo". I Cotto is too small for 154 and too lazy for 147.
