By Dan Ambrose: Welterweight contender Carson Jones has been helping Miguel Cotto (37-3, 30 KO’s) out recently with sparring to try and get him ready for his December 1st fight against WBA World junior middleweight champion Austin Trout (25-0, 14 KO’s) at the Madison Square Garden in New York. Jones has a pretty good idea of how good Cotto is after sparring with him and can give an expert opinion about whether Cotto has a real chance against Trout or not.
Jones said to Chris Robinson at CRHarmony “I think it’s a tough fight for Miguel. Austin is young, hungry, but he just doesn’t have the names on his resume yet. I think this will be a tough fight for Cotto.”
