Reigning WBA junior middleweight title-holder Austin Trout (25-0-0, 14ko) made weight at the second time of asking on Friday afternoon, ahead of his voluntary defence against ring veteran Miguel Cotto (37-3-0, 30ko). Trout had to strip bare naked in order to make the upper limit of the 154lb weight class. Cotto scaled in at 153.6lbs. The two boxers go punch for punch at Madison Square Garden in New York on Saturday, November 30.
