Cotto

Will Austin Trout's dream of victory become a reality or a living nightmare in the form of Miguel Cotto?

Three-division titlewinner Miguel Cotto met New York Knicks' forward Carmelo Anthony prior to Sunday night's victory over the Detroit Pistons at Madison Square Garden, where Cotto will face Austin Trout on Saturday.

Andre Berto was treated for injuries and released from Loma Linda University Medical Center following Saturday night's loss to Robert Guerrero, and is resting with family at his home in Winter Haven, Fla.

Austin Trout described his tendency since childhood to envision beating his boxing heroes in the ring, and said, "I have a big list of fighters that I really admire, and Miguel Cotto is on that list."

Austin Trout "will see, on Saturday, the best Miguel Cotto ever," says Cotto, who is unbeaten in seven fights at New York's Madison Square Garden, and in nine bouts overall in The Big Apple.

Austin Trout says facing Miguel Cotto in his partisan New York won't affect him: "The crowd has never had an effect on me. If anything, what it has done is given the motivation and it has made me want to make them shut up."

Thomas Hearns commented exclusively to RingTV.com about his trainer and father figure Emanuel Steward. "In my opinon," said the hall-of-fame boxer. "Emanuel Steward was the best trainer that ever lived."
