    I can see Trout turning him over, good movement & handspeed causing Alvarez problems. He seems to switch off at times.

    He's 22 years old mate,he's not on the level of let say a Mayweather who's been in the game for nearly 20 years.Hes a kid who is still growing and developing as a man and as a fighter.From what you had written in your post you didn't seem to give him any props on his talent,I thought you should at least acknowledge that instead of berating him for things that are out of his control.Ok Golden Boy and the WBC have molli coddled him this far but his fight against Austin Trout should prove something,Trout is a solid opponent and should tell us more about Alvarez.

    Rate Canelo very highly.

    Expect him to knock out Trout...might be competitive for 5 or 6 rounds but then Alvarez body punching will take effect and i expect him to knockout Trout in the 8th or 9th rd.

    Trout is his own size in this one. They both were the same weight at the 30 day limit and there shouldn't be much difference in their "ring" weights on the night
