Comments Thread For: Trout: Canelo Won't Be Able To Land, Lara Will Beat Him

So? Even if he lands a few punches...Canelo isn't a hard hitter or agressive

Trout just referred to Canelo as "strong". "Canelo is strong but he won't be able to land on Lara". Sounds like he hits fairly hard to me.

Who cares what trout thinks? I dont, hes just mad he got baited by both canelo and lara.....any unbiased or non-butthurt fan knows this fight is 50/50.

If Canelo comes to box he gets schooled. He is a mid-range hooker and his right hand is not developed.

If el Perro can hit Lara. Saul will be able to hit him too. Good one trout.

It does make me feel better about Lara's chances that Trout picks him to win. He knows what he saw and felt in the ring versus both. It really doesn't matter all that much how great a fighter Austin is. Tough to argue with a first-hand account from a pro.

Trout fought the wrong fight against both guys, you have to pressure Lara and go to the body - trout never made adjustments and just followed Lara around the ring

I've heard Canelo referred to as "strong" before. But it wasn't in reference to his punching power. It was in reference to his physical strength.

Soooo you're saying he's a "hooker " lol. In other words a whore, **********.

Canelo is NOT a pressure fighter. If he pressures he will gas even quicker than he usually does and he is going to eat a ton of leather closing the distance.

Lara chose to fight off the ropes (Shell up and let Angulo tire himself). A fighter with faster feet couldn't get him on the ropes. Vanes. Angulo wasn't cutting the ring off either. He kept following.

If Lara doesn't want to be on the ropes he won't be on the ropes.

But that's just my opinion.

I can't remember seeing a hitter harder than Canelo at light middleweight honestly.

Dumb ass! Look at him, he is on video!

Why guys say stuff like this that can be immediately shown to be false is beyond me!

I won't dispute that, but it doesn't take away from the rare, first-hand observations of a professional fighter. It's one thing to make observations on a TV screen, it's another to actually experience what's happening. To paraphrase George Chuvalo on fighting Ali: "You see him on TV and see he's fast. But when you're standing in front of him, it's like, 'Oh, my...oh, my, my, my, my...."
