I predicted Trout would beat Cotto fairly easy. I'm also predicting Canelo will stop Trout. A lot of people here under-rate Canelo.
Trout's defense/movement isn't that great. Cotto just didn't have the style to beat Trout. On top of that Cotto is too small for the 154lb division. He needs to go back down to 147lb.
Trout does not have the power to slow Canelo down. Whats the word I'm looking for.. Trout is a very "flimsy" fighter. He is tall and when he steps backs leaves himself open for those hooks.
Again Canelo is very Under-rated. The guy has power/speed/movement. His combinations are exceptional and his counters are very accurate. The only thing Canelo lacks I think is defense but that can be worked on.
I've got Canelo but mid-late stoppage via Left hook while Trout back pedals.
I really like Canelo and I think he's the real deal, but I think Trout wins by out boxing him and keeping him on the outside today. But this fight is in Texas so the judges may see it different. lol.
As SSM said, Canelo isnt the hardest hitter and hits about the same hard as Floyd. But Canelo is a good worker and may outwork Trout and put his punches together better.
I dont think canelo will stop trout, rather outpoint him in a competitive fight.
Trout's bodyshot is strong enough to slow Canelo down
Trout has to be one of the weakest body punchers I have seen in a while, although he is consistent.
Um, correction, you have too many people on this site actually overate Canelo most of it is based on nationalistic pride and fanaticism...
^EXACTLY! It will take a flat out ROBBERY for Canelo to win IMO
I got Canelo beating Trout by decision. Once Trout fells the power of Canelo's punches. Trout will try to box more and use every inch of that ring.
Yeah, Canelo has ridiculous power, have you seen what he did to a junior welterweight and most of his 40 year old welterweight opponents.
You're crazy. Trout's defense is elite level. He is very good at positioning his body to get away of huge punches. Very slim chance of canelo KOing him. Not to mention he is a BIG LMW.
BTW is this fight confirmed?? Cause I really doubt GBP is going to put him in there with trout. You don't go from fighting Josesito Lopez (JWW) to Austin Trout (arguably the best LMW). I was not big on trout before the cotto fight, I thought he is too passive and does not really go after it but his defense really impressed me in that fight and he might have enough offense to beat canelo while frustrating canelo with his D.
Canelo has earned a lot of the flack he has received by fighting smaller fighters recently but from what I have seen of him, he is the goods. I like Trout's skills as well but he needs space to operate and I have a feeling that he won't fare well trapped against the ropes.
I have Canelo wining by TKO/KO around the 10th round.
I agree with this post..But I do seem to remember Alvarez having trouble with Gomez(thought it was a bad stoppage as well),so it's not far fetched to believe Trout(a bigger guy as well)could out box Alvarez..
I get what ya saying and agree tho..Alvarez is the truth,very tough and strong..Just a bit untested,which would be my only knock on the guy..
