Sitting here watching Canelo Trout and thinking....

Yep the Trout fight was extremely close. However for the Floyd fight, Canelo doesnt have to worry about such a big output, which was a huge problem for him with Trout. And Floyd wont be taking too many risks because of Canelo's power, so Canelo should be able to control the fight in a better capacity then with Trout. Obviously though, Floyd is tremendous at controlling the tempo of fights also, so it will be interesting to see the dynamic that takes place.

Canelo definitely has a chance. The Trout experience was terrific preparation for Canelo, and Floyd will be ready for Canelo also. But I think this is the first time Floyd would have faced a live body who is equally as intelligent in the ring as he is, and, crucially, who can fire-off unpredictable combinations.

 

Alvarez won ten rounds versus trout. He dominated that boy and will get the ko september 14th via a left hook.

 

@Cinnamon, canelo is that you?

 

Floyd took ODLH most dangerous weapo out... the Left Hook... he'll do the same with Canelo

 

Nooo. Trout absolutely was throwing lots of punches at Canelo. This is indisputable and verifiable by compubox stats. Trout had a huge punch output; the most Canelo had ever fought against, and twice as much as what Floyd will offer. I agree that Canelo's stamina was hellaciously awful however. This will be his biggest downfall in his career.

And there is nothing wrong with wide right hands. He threw some wide, threw some straight, and threw some short. That's called punch variation, and its a good thing in boxing. It is partially why Canelo is unpredictable. If you don't think he is unpredictable, then simply just re-watch his fights. If you have a discerning boxing mind, then the proof is in the pudding.

 

This is true. Floyd can't be hit by orthodox fighters with left hooks. I've seen that enough to know. Canelo will have to use punch-variation. Lots of it. That being said, punch variation is one of the things that Canelo does best.

 

It's not that hard to figure out. Mayweather is pretty much the superior boxer in all aspects outside of power and size. He just has to do everything he usually does at a slightly faster rythm and this should turn into a schooling after the early rounds.

 

if you saw Alvarez getting outboxed, you did not watch Canelo-Trout as you claimed in the thread title

 

I watched it yesterday and scored it 116-112 for trout. Canelo wasn't active enough in my eyes regardless if he landed a couple hard shots per-round, and it seemed they gave rounds to canelo just for showing defense, because he wasn't throwing or landing sh**.

 

probably another one of Doc's aliases.

 

Oscar didn't wanna risk canelo losing to high risk low reward guys like lara or molina, so he went for the payday.
