Austin Trout "Canelo never been hit by a true junior middleweight"

[billygoathurler]

I like trout to take this tomorrow night. I dont think ginger is going to be able to hit him. Its going to be a tough night and fight for him, his style is gonna make him miss alot. I do worry that the judges will be swayed by the activity of canelo and the fight being in texas as well.

Neither has Trout.

I know it's only sparring, but Canelo sparred with GGG a couple years ago. The Ring posted an article about it.

From what I remember, they said even though Golovkin got the best of it, Canelo held his own and took some pretty good flush shots from him with no problem. I don't think Canelo's chin is that bad. It should hold up against Trout, who isn't even that big of a puncher.

It's not like he's a knockout king, Trout punches won't phase Canelo

Neither has Trout.

Delvin and David Lopez have power at 154.

They are legit JMW's.

More so than Kermit Cintron or Ryan Rhodes? Old Shane hits harder than they do as well.

Trout and the boxing fans at large have been scathing in their critique of Canelo's opposition; fair enough, it's been poor for a champion in the 154 pound division. That same level of critique has not been applied to Austin Trout's ledger, which is not even as good as Canelo's IMO.

HAHA, good point. The only real JMW's he fought were bums. I have Trout winning, but he's acting like he's tested. Cotto @154 isn't a test IMO.

I also remember when Canelo was rocked AND wobbled by Jose Miguel Cotto

I also remember when Canelo was hit with flush shots by oldsley and Cintron both of who are way bigger punchers than Jose Cotto and after that fight as well and they didn't phase him

Round two:

Golovkin stalked a little faster while displaying decent head movement and a nice straight, crisp jab. Alvarez definitely felt the pressure as he gave ground without allowing his back to touch the ropes. He used fluid upper-body movement to evade Golovkin’s short power shots, which prompted co-trainer Jose Reynoso to yell “Bien, bien, muy bien!” from the corner. Alvarez landed a picture-perfect head-to-body hook combination mid-round. Golovkin fired back but the kid leaned away from the punches. Alvarez tried to counter Golovkin but couldn’t get through the older fighter’s guard. Still, the young man’s accuracy backed Golovkin off for the first time during the session. Alvarez followed Golovkin during the final minute but walked into a hard left hook that appeared to rock him with 10 seconds remaining. Alvarez didn’t return to his corner after the bell but instead tried to shake out his right leg, which immediately stiffened on impact of Golovkin‘s hook.


Not only this, we all know how Cotto's cokehead brother rocked him pretty bad. I wouldn't be surprised if Trout wins by KO/TKO
