76-76

I gave the 8th to Trout:

C----T
75---77

77-76 Trout

rd 8 Trout

77-75 Trout

very close round. Just edging it to Cotto, 5-3 Cotto, but easily could be 4-4 or 5-3 trout.

After 8, I have it 6-2 Trout. I just feel Cotto is eating too many shots coming in. And when he's inside, he's not actually landing, at least not cleanly.

Trout starting to pull ahead in the fight. I gave him the 9th:

C----T
84---87

rd 9 Trout
Very Close

87-84 Trout

Trout goes low again, could've been a point off, but wins the round. 5-4 Cotto i have it.

87-85 Trout

Round eight: Cotto always looks so sad. It's weird.

Trout working his straight to the body. Cotto presses forward behind a right. Trout very active and lands his body left. Another. Cotto with a thudding shot downstairs. Good hook upstairs, right hook Trout. Cotto's left connects. Good body work by Trout. Cotto clubs him with some good punches. Nice right hook by Trout. There's another. Cotto one-two. Cotto lands to the body but keeps eating that right hook. Good trade in close to end things, Trout on top. 77-75 Cotto.

cotto is getting hit with more, and trout less than what showtime and the crowd is letting on here.

86-85 Trout

7-2 Trout after 9

Trout won round 9

Round nine: Clinch. Cotto to the body and head. Trout firing off straight punches and he's getting through Cotto's guard. Clinch as Cotto tries to push him to the ropes. Good uppercut by Trout and he's building momentum, but he slows it down by going low. Both guys land body shot inside. Great work by Trout in this round. Cotto trying to bully forward. Trout right hook. Both land lefts downstairs. Trout slaps the body with his jab. Good right-left from Cotto. Nice shots by both men in the last ten seconds. That's another one in the books for Trout.

97-93 Trout so far

Win or loose Trout has already proven alot tonight about what he's made of...he gets big ups for that

Trout taking over the fight as Cotto is slowing down:

C----T
93---97

wow, awesome round, Cotto won the first part, then some really nice shots from Trout, particularly a solid uppercut with Trout on the ropes, but cotto lands a hard combo in the last 10 seconds and steals the round imo.

BIG trout round

showtime NOT calling it as it is.

rd 10 Trout (even with Cotto's late flurry)

97-93 Trout

Not sure what Bernstien is talking about

96-95 Trout

97-94 Trout

Trout wins 7,8,9,10 easy

Round ten: Trout with a straight left. Cotto to the body. Cotto to the body as Trout fires. Trout with a slick left straight. Good body blows from Cotto after Trout pops him. Cotto punch strays to the back of the head. Good left from Cotto as they disengage. Left-right from Trout. Good clinchwork from Trout. Nice hooks from Trout, Cotto responds downstairs. Trout stings Miguel coming in. Trout left uppercut connects. Cotto's lefts ding up Trout to end the round. Very good action at the end, very close round. Cotto isnt a real 154 pound fighter and that is slowly starting to show here in the late rounds...IMO
