Austin Trout

By Mark Uliano: In two weeks WBA Junior Middleweight champion, Austin Trout, will step into the ring for the biggest test of his career against Miguel Cotto (37-3, 30 KO) at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. A lot of boxing writers on multiple outlets are giving Trout (25-0, 14 KO) a legitimate chance to come out of the December 1st fight with his title and undefeated record still intact.

There is always the punchers chance when it comes to boxing, but when people are telling me outright that he is going to easily beat Puerto Rico’s Miguel Cotto I think they really need to step back to reality.

By Dan Ambrose: WBA World junior middleweight champion Austin Trout (25-0, 14 KO’s) has already figured out just what he needs to do in order to control the shorter 5’7″ Miguel Cotto (37-3, 30 KO’s) on December 1st, and that’s by jabbing him silly and taking advantage of his much longer reach and height when they fight at the Madison Square Garden in New York, New York.

Trout said “I’ve got a good bead on how he [Cotto] fights and I know my jab will be a problem for him, but I will have to put a lot of leather on him.”

By Dan Ambrose: The Showtime televised Miguel Cotto (37-3, 30 KO’s) vs. WBA World junior middleweight champion Austin Trout (25-0, 14 KO’s) undercard on December 1st is really hurting in a big way as the fight approaches.

By Dan Ambrose: WBA World junior middleweight champion Austin Trout (25-0, 14 KO’s) is taking a scientific approach to getting ready for his December 1st fight against challenger Miguel Cotto (37-3, 30 KO’s) by training at high altitude at 7000 in the New Mexico mountains to get fully prepared to fight the 5’7″ Cotto at the Madison Square Garden next month.

By Dan Ambrose: WBA World junior middleweight champion Austin Trout (25-0, 14 KO’s) has one of the best jabs in the junior middleweight division and he’s got the arm length to deliver it without getting hit in return. On December 1st, Trout is going to have the opportunity to see what his jab can do to the scar tissue around his opponent Miguel Cotto’s eyes when they meet at the Madison Square Garden, in New York, New York, USA.

Cotto (37-3, 30 KO’s) has suffered numerous cuts around both eyes during his long 11-year pro career and it’s like a field full of lines and cracks from where he was cut in previous battles. Cotto has lost only three fights but he’s been slicked up badly in many of his bouts and he’s not that great of a fighter once he sees his own blood. The southpaw Trout will have a big advantage if he can get Cotto bleeding in one or both of his eyes from his jabs.

By Dan Ambrose: Former three division world champion Miguel Cotto (37-3, 30 KO’s) turned 32-years-old today and that’s getting up there a little in age. Cotto has a fight on December 1st against the younger WBA World junior middleweight champion Austin Trout (25-0, 14 KO’s) at the Madison Square Garden, in New York, New York, USA.

Cotto took a loss in his last fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. last May and he’s hoping to get back on the winning track against the bigger and younger Trout. It could be that Cotto is going to find out that he made a big mistake in taking this fight. Trout is young and hungry, and he’s not going to let an aging multi-millionare like Cotto take him down before he’s gotten a little taste of the big cash.
