Comments Thread For: Trout Has a Feeling That He Will Knock Canelo Out

[budfr]

What does he mean by saying " they didn't want an African-American from New Mexico ". Is he playing the race card already? Also, I am tired of boxers saying that God helps them, that they are devout Christians, etc. God does mot aprove of two guys beating the krap out of each other.

I've been saying since this fight was signed, that if Trout stayed composed against Cotto in MSG as well as win the fight, but do so in clear decisive fashion, that he'd win this fight. Despite the fact Cotto isn't in his complete prime, he still was a very high level fighter as evidenced when he fought Mayweather just 7 months before the Trout fight. And IMO Cotto is a more versatile fighter than Canelo is, Cotto can actually stalk and cut the ring off, things that just aren't in Canelo's nature. Canelo is predominantly a boxer/puncher who likes to stake out the middle of the ring and work from mid-range with hooks. Cotto is more of a pressure fighter who can get on his toes a bit and pump a very good jab.

The one thing that is similar between Saul and Cotto is their punch arsenals. Cotto has a very good left hook to the body, so does Canelo, Cotto has a very good right hand, so does Canelo. And, Trout dealt with these things from Cotto very well. The one thing Canelo doesn't have IMO that Cotto did which makes Cotto a harder style match-up for Trout, is a good jab and quick feet. Canelo isn't a pressure fighter. He's got slow feet and will always look a step slower than Trout on fight night. Trout is going to be too quick for Canelo to set his feet and work. I suspect this fight will be shockingly more one sided than Trout-Cotto due to the factors I stated above.

Also, are people forgetting Canelo's fight with Jose Cotto? A career lightweight who stepped up to JMW and fought Canelo? Canelo was SERIOUSLY hurt early in that fight, and ever since then I've had questions about how his chin would hold up against an elite 154 pound fighter. We know what kind of chin Trout has, he took flush shots from Cotto very well. We'll find out, but before even seeing this article, I had a feeling myself we're going to see Canelo get stopped by Trout. Now, after seeing this article, it seems even more likely that it can happen.

I initially thought Trout by UD. But, I'm going with what my gut is telling me. After Trout has consistently landed that strong and accurate straight left to the body all night, Canelo starts to slow down heavily and gravitates to the ropes, Trout gains confidence and starts to really work over Canelo, at the end of the 9th round, Canelo's corner says "If you don't start working, I'm stopping it." Canelo comes out and tries to charge Trout, who is just to clever defensively for Canelo, Canelo runs out of gas and in the second half of the 10th round, Trout gets Canelo on the ropes and unloads, Canelo's hands start to drop, and the ref steps in and says that's it. Trout TKO10.

I agree with all the bolded, nice post. I think he will hurt momentarily hurt Canelo and win a wide UD.

Trout by wide ud I'm on that trout train

I don't think they wanted an African American fighter from Las Cruces, New Mexico to be here on this stage.

I hate when people say such ignorant things like this. Who exactly is "they" anyway? Some people really have a chip on their shoulder and project based on a hunch. No Trout, the "man" isn't trying to keep you down.

I think people are surprised Trout is from New Mexico. After all, there's not many brothers from New Mexico. Aside from Los Angeles, Oakland, Las Vegas, Denver, Seattle, Sacramento, and Phoenix....there's not many places out west that have decent or noticeable african american populations in their city. Unless you go down south to Texas.

It's always the same story. Sometimes I wonder if they wish this was 1955 Mississippi.

wouldn't suprise me one bit. Bad matchup for Canelo I see him losing badly.
