Canelo: Fighting Austin Trout May 4; The Big Fight for September

[-PBP-]

Now I got to **** around and make 2 trips to Vegas this year. lol


Nah but seriously, all I care about is the May 4th event right now. I'll see how that goes before I begin to look ahead to who is fighting who in September.

My translation: We're going versus Austin Trout on the 4th of May, If everything comes out how we think, the big fight for September is signed.

Would Alvarez still get a Sept Mayweather fight if he gets a gift against Trout

[THE REED]

I like it... add on to the fact that if he beats Trout than he is indeed proven and the fight with Mayweather makes the most sense in the division.

Trout has the better tools to challenge Mayweather imo

I don't know why i'm not too excited about Mayweather fighting Trout, I guess it's because of his performances against Rodriguez and Cotto, just not sold on the guy. I'm more sold on Canelo despite his weak opposition. The thing is Trout against his weak opposition wasn't exactly a world beater, he was decisioning guys with 10, 15, 20 losses. At least Canelo was knocking out and brutalizing the overmatched guys he's been fighting. I doubt Trout knocks out the "Super Featherweight" Josesito Lopez like Canelo did, given his history he'd UD him in a dull fight where he doesn't even look that good in.

May vs Devon in Sept.

HOw would your mind change about May-Trout if Trout kicks Alv's @ss?

If he "kicks his ass" like he did Cotto, which was not an ass kicking by any stretch, I had it 7-5 for Trout, no I would not be sold on Trout. Isn't Canelo the underdog here? He's the inexperienced one at the top level while Trout has two wins over top 10 fighters.

A guy who struggles to take out showcase opponents, I don't know how far he'd go. It would be a travesty for the sport if Trout beats Canelo. Canelo is the more exciting, promising, popular, likeable fighter of the two. Even if Mayweather turns in a great performance against Guerrero, if Trout beats Canelo that would be a depressing night for me and for the sport.

well see how he looks like vs Trout

i would have preferred a fight against Cotto since Canelo would have easily TKO'd him or made him Quit
