Yes, Alvarez by decision is the smart money pick. Trout will NOT stop Alvarez and he's not getting the decision even if he deserves it!
I don't think Canelo will KO trout. Trout is bigger physically then Canelo and is much bigger then most of the other guys he's KOed. So I think it'll be a bit of a different story when Canelo hits trout and when he gets hit by him. Canelo does have an educated offence and therefore can win a decision but I'd rate his chances of the KO as small. That being said Trout did get stopped a couple of times in the amateurs so its not like he has an iron beard. So when I say Canelo has a small chance it doesn't mean that I don't think it could happen.
i got canelo by ud, after dishing out a good beating on trout. canelo becomes a bonified star tonight.
