Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs. Austin "No Doubt" Trout: who will win?

[Cuban Linx]

What if he wins by highly controversial SD?

Obviously he has to win clearly....

I think Trout will give Alvarez a boxing lesson, unless Canelo actually learned some lateral movement and not come in flat footed he will get pot shoted all night long. I doubt Trout can knock him out but I can see this fight getting stopped due to cuts. Although Canelo throws beatiful combinations and has decent hand speed I doubt he has developed the timing to counter Trout as he leans in.
If Canelo wants to have a chance he needs to go to the body early in the fight and keep that chin tucked as he becomes a little careless when he throws his combinations. Another thing against him is that in recent fights I've seen him gas out in the later rounds.
I'm not saying Trout is invincible but his style, and size is going to be hard for Canelo, since he has been feed fighters that come straight forward, and are smaller than him. And as I saw in the Cotto fight Trout can scrap, and has stamina.
....
Ahh **** it, in short I'll be VERY, VERY suprised if Canelo beats him decisively.

I truly don't know.

Neither man has really been tested by anyone.

One could argue that Trout was tested because Cotto might have been perceived to have been the better man going into their matched based solely on the effort he gave against Mayweather, but aside from that no one has any real faith or rather founded confidence in Trout.

Good post.

Canelo i believe will struggle with the movement of Trout as he seems to always need to set his feet to throw his (admittedly very good) combinations. Trout has a very good sneaky southpaw jab which is going to be a constant nuisance to Alvarez as he doesnt tend to show good head movement. This will help stop Alvarez' attacks from formulating. As the rounds go on i can see Canelo getting more frustrated and Trout getting a better and better read on Alvarez and taking most of the later rounds.

I think though that Canelo has shown improvements in all his fights so far so maybe he comes out in this one looking like a beast and shows us stuff we havent seen before? who knows...

I also think Alvarez will be a very good fighter with or without a W this weekend.

Cant wait.

The more i watch both fighter the more i see canelo connecting the quick vicious combos to trouts head and body. Just rewatched trout cotto and Cotto was actaulyl able to land alot. Canelo will be faster and stronger than cotto. It will be interesting. biggest fight for me this year!!! Saturday cant come soon enough

I think Trout can win it if he can keep the fight in the center of the ring. Alfonso Gomez had his moment against Canelo and outboxed him a few times before Canelo made his adjustments and overpowered him against the ropes with body shots. I think Trout is strong and smart enough to make Canelo fight his fight and control the pace of the fight for 12 rounds.

canelo doesnt have the footspeed or head movement to beat trout

trout will win a landslide sorry bad fight for canelo
