Multiple sources tell me that Austin Trout is the favorite to face Canelo Alvarez on September 15th. Likely on Showtime. Not a done deal yet
I don't think this fight will be exciting. Not Canelo's fault though, i'm going by Trout-Delvin.
but most of that was on delvin. he switched up his style big time for this fight. trout always fights the same and in that fight, he fought the same as well. delvin was tenative. and that just not how he normally fights.
Good fight but I'm not expecting an exciting one.
it'll be exciting. trout is a counter puncher. canelo tries to be but hes not really. he'll have to bang if he wants to win this fight. i dont expect him to sit back and box too much.
Trout should be elevated. Floyd is a jail bird and shouldn't have the title.
i disagree, no elevation for a title. u fight for that ****. now i wouldnt mind if it was on the line for this fight, but that would only make it a unification for canelo.
anyways a very good fight.
I really hope this fight happens. As a Canelo fan I want him to have a chance to beat the best junior middleweights in the world and Trout is one of the best. I hope they do not have him fight Quintana who is not even ranked in the top 15 by the WBC. Canelo could KO Quintana in the first round and it would do nothing for his career but cost him fan support.
Don't care if it's on the 15th and is it really a unification Trout has a jr. edition title
Trout should be elevated. Floyd is a jail bird and shouldn't have the title.
What would hurt Martinez-Chavez more? Canelo vs Trout on regular Showtime or Canelo vs Ortiz (had he won) on Showtime PPV?
This is a decent fight, but change the date.
