Comments Thread For: Trout at 157 Pounds, Canelo at 159.2 at 7-Day Weigh-in

[Tom Cruise]

When a fighter doesn't make a weight like Trout didn't in his last fight then that's an indicator that making weight isn't easy.

Doesn't mean he struggles but it means it's not easy.

And like someone else said, Trout has been open about it not being easy.

Surprised he's at 157 at week out though.

Did he not make weight against Cotto?

Like proper had to go sweat it out?

I'm pulling for Trout to expose Canela.

[ShoulderRoll]

you mean by Friday.

Oops, you're right. The weigh-in is Friday.

Trout is gonna need to be light on his feet to "rigondo" the Ginger...

Excuses already being made I see
just let the fawking fight happen before jumping to conclussions
Trout isnt anything special
canelo takes him out late.
its gonna take Canelo like 3-4 rounds to figure him out then 4-5 to wear him down and take him out

Excuses? Where were my excuses? I just said the Cinnabomber takes the W regardless of how close the fight is..

He didn't have to sweat it out I don't think. I honestly can't remember.

He was .75 Lbs over 154 I think. And he had to strip naked to make the weight.

Pretty much the exact same situation as Yusuf Mack against Carl Froch.

I can see the future. Canelo will drop a decision to Trout. Then claim to have won a "close" fight.

Ah ok, ive always thought he looked pretty big for the weight. Hopefully he comes in good shape

I don't think he's struggling to make the weight but it's just not easy for him.

But that's just from what I gather.

The only time he's mentioned anything was like another poster said, when he said something alone the lines of "The first fight is the weight" before the Cotto fight.

That, and the fact he didn't make it and the fact he very open about moving up in weight relatively soon.

He knows what's at stake, this is no time to be screwing around. I'm rooting for him though I think Canelo's punched have a little more pop. He'll definitely have to win with his natural physical advantage.
