    What He Said

    "We are working hard. My team and I are focused 100 percent on my opponent. I have great respect for Austin Trout and what he has been able to achieve. This fight is a complicated one. He's not only tough but a lefty and he also knows how to keeps his guard with his left. He's a very intelligent fighter, young, skilled and tough. It's not going to be an easy task to beat him, but we're working hard and getting ready. I respect Trout outside of the ring, but once he's in the ring, that's a whole different thing."

    "This fight for me is personal. I know Trout beat my brother. I was there that day and that made me feel helpless. Now I'll get the chance to avenge his loss and bring him up to the ring with me when I win."

    "Like in life, in sports, there are critics and skeptics. There's always going to be someone criticizing you. To fight Trout is not going to quiet down criticism against me, but I honestly don't mind it. I think all criticism is constructive."

    What He Said

    "I want to thank the fans. The fans demanded this fight and made it happen. I believe that Canelo is a great champion. I have to thank him for making this happen.I want to thank the Lord, because I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Him."

    "I'm a fast, hungry champion. I don't believe that Canelo is the second coming of Oscar De La Hoya. I do believe that I'm the better fighter. If I didn't think I could be victorious, I wouldn't be risking my life and limb to face this man. I wouldn't be risking my undefeated record and my belt if I didn't believe in myself. I'll be victorious and I'll go home as the unified champion."

    "Someone's '0' has got to go. It sure as hell isn't going to be mine and I'm sure he is saying the same thing. That's the formula for a great fight. [Hip-hop artist] Drake said it best, 'Started from the bottom, now we're here. Started from the bottom, now my whole team's here."

    "I know that Canelo is a hungry champion. I'm not just hungry. I'm starving. I'm ready for April 20."

    Trout by decision (if the judges are fair). Have a nasty feeling he'll outbox Alvarez but the judges will gift the win to Saul because of his star power.

    I think Canelo overwhelms him.

    Whoever wins, I'd like to see face Floyd.

    trout 2/1 ?....i'm on that.

    canelo must be a lot better than i think though...why would they let a money making investment like him anywhere near the likes of trout at this stage?

    This is exactly how I feel, really pleased to see Alvarez in with a genuine light middleweight though, acid test for him in just his 43rd fight.

    Jonesy,

    Commendable effort :good well done

    Ive gone back an forth with this fight so many times that Ive actually just reverted to sitting on the fence.

    Trout will trouble Canelo with his flicky fast jab, no doubt about it, his hand speed will have Canelo in trouble. Canelo's feet position against Southpaws is always correct, it seems during every exchange Canelo is in the correct position to land a right hand against southpaws.

    Im leaning toward Canelo by stoppage but the demons in my mind about this kid have yet to be laid to rest, an active fighter with solid schooling can outwork Canelo, I'm certain of that, I was absolutely sure Paul Williams would have done it and I think Trout can do it.

    That said Trout is defensively loose, and Cotto clobbered him with several left hooks, given Canelo's left hook is so devastating he may end the fight with one.

    Im on the fence officially, un-officlally Im leaning towards Canelo by stoppage

    I'm a fan of both. Great fight this. Don't mind who wins as long as its fair.
    If i had to put my balls on the table I'd say Trout wins the fight but gets the wrong end of a SD.
    Can't trust Texas.

    I went for a UD for the same reasons, but think Trout will taste Canelo's power and get too negative paving the way for a Canelo UD. But you can see Trout outboxing him. Get a feeling this could be a fight with 2 sides to it.

    That is one organised post
    You should do that for every fight
    Trout UD Canelo's stamina is bad and Trout will keep ducking and dodging and pot shotting to a decision

    I thought Trout was far bigger than Canelo, don't know why?! Seeing that they're close in height and that Trout won't have as much range as I expected, I think Canelo will take this. Canelo UD.
