How Many Rounds will Trout need to get a win over Canelo?

He's in good hands with Haymon. The decision will be fair. It seems like Haymon fighters often get favorable decisions. But in this fight I'm not so sure. Canelo is the golden child of GBP.

I personally have Canelo winning I just thinks he better than Trout it should be a hell of a fight I'm just glad I'll be there I don't mind you saying that you're pulling for canelo, but what has he done to actually prove he's better than trout. He beat lopez in his last fight, and Trout beat Cotto. Now I'm not saying that automatically means Trout will win this fight, but how could you make such a claim?

9 and up. Historically, whenever a "money" fighter has a huge upcoming fight, they'll do everything in their powers to give it to him. 9 and up. I guarantee you, if Trout wins most of the rounds, you'll here, "Canelo landed the harder shots." "The judges don't have the same view as the TV audience." "You had to be there, to actually hear the shots Canelo landed, it's different when you're there live." 9 and up, bank on it. This says it all^^^^^^^^^^Couldn't be said any better. Mayweather vs. Canelo on Sept 15 represents a lot a money for Canelo, GB, Mayweather, and don't forget Al Haymon as well (so don't be so sure Trout has Haymon in his corner for this fight). Trout will have to DOMINATE this fight so definitively that the millions to be made from a Mayweather vs. Canelo showdown wouldn't be worth the bad taste of a robbery on such a big stage for the sport of boxing.

This says it all, couldn't say it better^^^^^

he is gonna need to have a dominating performance to get the nod, with the canelo/mayweather fight looming, they aren't going to want that fight messed up.

trout would win it easily, most likely by wide UD, but hed want to make a statement

If canelo goes on to fight mayweather win lose or draw...and mayweather looks to have taken a close decision, will he get robbed so GBP can usher in th Canelo era?

8 rounds itsa rap

I think there are a group who are very against Canelo who will claim robbery regardless of how the fight goes. He may win convincingly or even KO Trout and they will still cry robbery. I don't know if the judges will tilt toward Canelo. We'll see. They won't do it just to ensure a Mayweather fight because the Mayweather fight is a pipedream, it isn't going to happen. Mayweather-Canelo is going down.GBP has had that in the cards since they signed Canelo.

I voted winning 8 rounds would win him the fight for sure. They are fighting in Vegas not Mexico. I almost voted that winning 7 rounds would win him the fight but I am not sure about that. I am not saying all judges are honest but I think many of them are. I think more big fights are scored the way the judges see them than big fights that end up robberies because the judging was fixed. I am not saying it does not happen sometimes but not as often as some fans say. Canelo won't need any help from the judges because he will knock Trout out in my opinion.

This is "get a ko to get a draw" situation for Trout.

Canelo will land the harder and more thudding blows. Trout would have to win 9 rounds convincingly without taking too much punishment. Landing harder and more thudding blows against Joselito Lopez and Matthew Hatton is not the same as landing hard and thudding blows against a legitimate 154-pound champion or top-quality opponent. Alvarez has proven nothing by beating up guys from lower divisons, journeymen and over the hill fighters like Mosley. I personally don't think he has the power to KO any legit 154-pound contender and will likely go down at least once in the Trout fight.

boxing not that corrupt :wtf1: watch Sergio Martinez vs Kermit Cintron, Boxing is that corrupt...

As Canelo is expected to have a major showdown with Mayweather in September, the question remains will the WBC influence the judges in the Trout contest? My best guess is that if Trout wins eight rounds instead of 116-112 win, he gets a 114-114 draw to keep his WBA title. He likely will need nine rounds to win the match. What is your opinion? My opinion is that he will need to knock Alvarez out the way Marquez knocked out Pacquaio just to get a draw.

At first I was thinking, Is this a trick Question lol, 7 rds. of course but It'll be tougher than the Cotto fight for Trout that's for sure!

Good fight!!!!

Trout has Haymon behind him, he has much more influence, they will give the fight to Trout even if its close, then Mayweather doesnt have to fight Canelo and will also duck Trout.

boxing not that corrupt I know........

And that's just to get a draw. boxing not that corrupt

He needs a knockout. And that's just to get a draw.
