The guys supporting trout are sure he is going to expose canelo, and the canelo supporters are pretty sure he is going to brutalize trout. This is a good thing, it means they are evenly matched. It's great we are seeing competitive fights made in boxing at this level. :thumbsup
I am supporting Trout cus I want to see him win but this is a pick em fight, they are both un tested both in their prime both undefeated and both have a history, Trout beat Canelos brother, I am sure Canelo wants to avenge that for his brother. I honestly believe nobody is going to be exposed in this fight that these two guys will bring out the very best of each other.
Yeah won't it be funny if its even the whole fight, but I doubt it, trout has been very over rated since the cotto win. He doesn't have the power to stop canelo or hurt him,he will be happy to score points the whole fight, frustate canelo and run trying to be slick, but he is not. He doesn't have the movement people say he does, he is very flat footed in his defensive moves and doesn't bounce around in his toes like Lara. He has a tendency to chill on the ropes or planting his feet while being defensive and that wont work with canelo he doesn't have the skills to keep moving 12 rounds. Canelo will expose that. Canelo stops him within 10 or Trout runs and loses a wide UD. Canelo will beat him very easy and finish him off within 10 that's if trout comes to fight and not spoil the night thinking pity pat jabs are gonna win the fight, but good thing for the trout supporters they are saying it's gonna be a masterful performance where canelo doesn't land a thing all night and is frustrated chasing trout around the ring... and if that happens I will have no problem giving full props, but it won't.
What I love about this besides it being a great fight, is that someone is going to look stupid I'm tired of people talking dumb about fights with no way to be called on it, this is like if Donaire fought Mikey or Maidana-Matthysse so I can test the theories I have
I hate when people say that Trout doesn't have the power to hurt Canelo when Trout will be the biggest puncher that Canelo has faced. I'm not saying Trout is a world beater. But Mosley wasn't able to rock Cotto, someone that Trout was able to rock a number of times.
It's a 50/50 fight imo. What makes it intriguing is Canelo's lack of true JMW competition up until this point.
WTF are you talking about? That **** has nothing to do with bias or being rational. It wasn't even personal. I'm just joking because I think that deep down inside he really wants Canelo to win. At least that's what I gathered from reading his posts.
Yeah, I feel ya on that ****. I don't think Canelo's power is gonna be as devastating as people think and I know Trouts power is gonna be better than people think. That's why it's gonna be a good fight. Trout took some really good shots from Cotto and didn't seem bothered by them. I haven't seen Canelo take good shots throughout a twelve round campaign. It's gonna be very interesting.If Trout don't get over confident that he can take Canelo's shots and just box him with some hard shots and combos mixed in, then Canelo is in for a long mother****in night cause his ass can't box for ****.
I think that Trout's chin isn't quite as good as many people think it is. I thought he got shook a few times by Cotto's shots, which didn't have all that much steam on them, and looked weary whenever Cotto threw a punch and his guard wasn't up. I believe Alvarez has significantly more power than Cotto does at this stage. I think his body work and patience will help him as much as his power to take a decision over Trout.
