    we all know it was a close fight, and a lot of people who scored the fight for either way, after which quite a few of whom started to trash Canelo for his performance, that he gassed and all, I was wondering, how many of them remember that Trout is a southpaw, and an awkward one at that?could it be that Canelo has a difficult time fighting southpaws, similar to Lennox, who never fought a SP in his career? Floyd is an orthodox fighter, I'm not saying it will be an easier fight for Canelo, because it won't be, but I was wondering, how much of a difference did Trout's SP stance make on Canelo's performance? :think

    I think it's part of the reason why we didn't see as much combination punching, but I think Trout's movement had more to do with it

    Guerro is an awkward southpaw as well, which is in my opinion one of the reasons he didn't show as diverse an offense against Guerro as he did Cotto.

    Goes both ways.

    It affected to a point where Canelo had to adapt to the tall, quick, rangy southpaw. This is why Canelo threw looping shots at Trouts chest to to hit him because Trou was trying to fight an "In and out" fight. Trout was also trying to turn him when Canelo got in the inside which was only for rounds 1 and 2 but Canelo nullified that by just boxing with him.

    That was a good fight. Trout is as slick as they come. Canelo is special. We will have to see just how special he is. I think I made a mistake in picking Floyd in 10. We will see. If Floyd wins my hats off to him. Canelo's punches come at different angles. I can see his right putting Floyd down. It isn't to late to change my mind. The people who say Canelo is drained are nuts. He is 23 not over 30. Canelo has a bigger head. The more I think about this one the more I picture Floyds dad throwing in the towel.

    Remember, Void refused to fight Trout. Everyone picked Trout to easily beat Alvarez, but Alvarez beat Trout and almost knocked him out. I think Alvarez will do better in the fight with Void than we think, win, lose or draw................there is a "REMATCH" clause!

    When did the p4p king refuse to fight FISH. The winner was always next in line for the mayweather lottery ticket .
