Will Austin Trout Get a Fair Shake With Saul Alvarez?
by Cliff Rold - It’s hard to ask for much more as a fight fan. Two undefeated fighters, both with belts in tow, in what has often since the 1980s been one of boxing’s glamour divisions. There are expected to be close to 40,000 butts in the seats. It’s not on pay-per-view (Showtime, 10 PM EST/PST). The Jr. Middleweight unification clash between WBC titlist Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (41-0-1, 30 KO) and WBA titlist Austin “No Doubt” Trout (26-0, 14 KO) at the Alamodome in San Antonio has all the makings. Both men are in their 20’s, Alvarez 22 and Trout 27. They’ve each had just enough seasoning to suggest bigger things while lacking the depth of tests that provides definitive proof of place. While Floyd Mayweather’s shadow still extends over a division he occasionally flirts with, there will be many who view the victor of this contest as the best fighter active at 154 lbs. Will the victor and the winner be the same thing? On Thursday, WBC president Jose Sulaiman posted to Twitter “Yesterday I met (Trout) and had a talk, he is such a nice man. I promised him neutrality in ring official's decisions if the bout goes the long way.” Isn’t it reassuring that, on the eve of a big fight, one of the sports leading governing officials makes a strong public statement that the fight will be adjudicated fairly? Not so much, right? It says a lot that boxers need to be reassured that they will get a fair shake. It’s hard to imagine David Stern pulling Kevin Durant aside before the NBA Finals last year to let him know the Oklahoma City Thunder would have impartial officiating against the Miami Heat.

Insider Notebook: Arreola, Rigondeaux's Win, Trout
By Robert Morales - Wearing a form-fitting t-shirt, Chris Arreola almost looked svelte Tuesday at a workout in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. Perhaps that's why his promoter, Dan Goossen, is more excited about Arreola than he has been in a long time. Arreola admittedly has had a history of poor training habits. It's something that has been written about again and again. But the way Arreola looked, and the confidence he is now exuding, is worth taking notice. Heck, Goossen is so stoked, he spoke in perhaps exaggerated tones about his fighter who a week from Saturday - April 27 - will take on Bermane Stiverne (22-1-1, 20 KOs) in a heavyweight title elimination bout at Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, Calif. (on HBO). "I was talking to the guys with HBO today about it," Goossen said. "I was saying that he's a guy that single-handedly can bring the excitement back into the heavyweight division. Why? Because he's got all the elements that Mike Tyson had, OK? You wanted to see a Tyson fight to see how he could destroy someone, and Arreola's that type of fighter.
