Comments Thread For: Austin Trout Thinks Erislandy Lara Lacks "Real Heart"

[Dr Rumack]

I got Lara in this one.To me Trout is overrated,he reaches with his punches negating his height and exposing himself to counter punches.He also doesn't sit down on any of his punches,his two greatest strengths are his lateral movement and work-rate,which mostly consists of a jab and a left to the body neither of which are delivered with much authority behind them.Lara has a ton of heart as shown both the Williams fight,in which he fought his was through a grotesque hematoma and the Angulo fight in which he rallied for the stoppage after suffering two knockdowns.I think Lara holds all of the advantages in this fight,he's more technically sound,faster,and punches harder.He's also able to adjust on the fly better and seems to have the intangibles.

I wouldn't say Trout's overrated. If he's overrated then what does that make Canelo?

I doubt Trout actually believes what he's saying. Just mind games imo.

Lara is gonna school him with ease.

if trout wins and if money ducks pacman again money vs trout

if lara wins I hope he fights canelo...lara runs and canelo eventually catches him.

Since "speed is power", and we all agree, then angulo had no business hurting Lara so late in the fight. I think it happens again & Lara s chin is the weak link. An accumulation of punches will decide this for Trout. TROUT KO Proly sooner than ltr.

I have zero respect for Lara, disgraceful runner. It is disgusting for me personally to watch him literally turn and run to the other side of the ring, rinse and repeat. I am not much of a Trout fan but I hope he wins. I won't watch the fight though unless there is a nice co-main event that gets me to the sofa and I might give it a chance.

It's called a "pure boxer", not a "disgraceful runner".

This one probably won't have you on the edge of your seat. But, this is gonna be a good chess match that I'm excited about watching.

Don't you remember the KD round? Trout took the fight back to Canelo, having the commentators say that the round could've easily been a 10-9 round.

Trout was never meant to win the fight. The 119-110 scorecard was atrocious.

"I've got the high determination to win in all different types of scenarios." -Austin Trout. He may have showed some heart after Canelo knocked him down, but he certainly didn't show a "..high determination to win" that fight, scorecards aside.

I agree. I had Trout beating Canelo by a point.

This fight probably won't be too exciting but I will watch it without blinking. A lot of skill and technique will be in that ring, I CAN'T WAIT!
