VIDEO PROMO: COTTO VS TROUT

THE FIGHTERS SQUARE OFF DECEMBER 1st FROM MADISON SQUARE GARDEN IN NEW YORK CITY, LIVE ON SHOWTIME NETWORK

Los Angeles, CA– WBA 154lb Champion Austin Trout (24-0, 14 KOs) defends his title against battle tested veteran and former world champion at 154, 147 and 140lbs, Miguel Cotto(37-3, 30 KOs). Cotto intends to make a comeback after his spirited effort in a decision loss to Floyd Mayweather earlier this year.

KP’s pick: The taller Trout who’s also a southpaw wins by decision. Cotto is an accomplished professional, but Trout is younger, hungry and a very seasoned boxer. Cotto is past his prime and been in some brutal battles in his career, including his knockout loss to Manny Paquiao in 2009.
