like most boxing people i dont know how this fight is going to go. the cotto win is really insignifigant because miguel is not a true 154. trout does have wins against rigoberto and lopez, legit jmw's and mw's, so you could make a case that trout has the better exposure to his weight class.

because all of canelos title wins except for rhodes are garbage. the four subsequent title defenses were against competition that were compromised and flawed. also, sauls baldomir win was against a carlos who had not fought in almost a year and took the fight on just over one months notice.

http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=5435927

the only thing that i can take from this fight on a skill standpoint(favorable judging for canelo is a foregone conclusion) is that gbp(schaeffer and not so much dlh) did not want this fight so they are not entirely confident in canelos skillset against a legit 154.

also, an undefeated champion that will stand to lose millions if he is ko'd or soundly defeated does not go around calling for fights that he and his camp are not supremely confident that he will not at least make a good showing for himself, if not publically win by perception even if he loses on the cards. both trout and haymon know a lot more about canelo than the numerous clueless esb bloggers here spouting that canelo is going to ko trout. after all, this is about money.

lots of money.

austin could have easily fought lessor and compromised competition and no one would ever question him for at least three fights...unlike the current severe backlash against canelo who had no choice but to fight trout, lara or kirkland now in his next title defense(only the most clueless canelo nuthuggers were saying that saul could get away with cotto). furthermore, both ward and sergio have spoken highly of trout and his abilities whereas i have only seen kotszya tszyu, someone with no vested financial interest, speak well of canelo. in fact, both ggg and forbes have been quite about their sparring sessions with canelo(even though saul was put on ***** street against ggg).

im pretty much lke you, the bookmakers and most of the knowledgeable boxing people. the bout will go to the cards in a very competitive fight.

Solid all around. Hit a lot of points, and hit them on the head.

My biggest fear is seeing the name "Gale Von Hoye" as a judge during the telecast. Outside of that, it is a close fight. A typical boxer vs. puncher matchup.

Fair and good assessment. I agree with you on most points. I agree that Golden Boy had some obvious hesitance in putting Canelo in against Trout. I think that was more to do with Trout's size and ability more so than Canelo's inability.

We have spoken before about the fact that 154 lbs. is the lowest weight class in which Trout has ever fought. Of course, Canelo is a natural 154 pounder at this point in his career, but I feel confindent in saying that Trout is the naturally bigger guy. I kind of see it as a pick 'em fight, but as you know, I am picking Canelo by decision. So I completely agree with the bookmakers, this fight will go to the cards in a competitive fight.

As far as the rumors of Canelo getting hurt in sparring by GGG are concerned, if they are true, I am not surpised. GGG is pound-for-pound one of the hardest punchers in boxing today. Maybe Canelo learned something that day.

This is off topic, but I believe that both Canelo and Trout would have their hands full with Erislandy Lara. If Floyd Mayweather doesn't man up and face the winner, then Lara should get the winner. What do you think about potential fights between Canlelo/Lara or Trout/Lara? I would pick Lara by decision over Trout. Against Canelo, I would lean toward Lara, but not enough that I would actually pick him. I would have to see how Canelo does against Trout before making that prediction.

both vanes(beat trout in the amatuers) and lara have stellar amatuer career records that austin does not have so i would favor both of them over trout if the fight were to be made before canelos. also, lara has the better exposure at jmw with fights against brewer, molina, williams and vanes.

who knows, maybe canelo will pull a chavez jr and beat down austin like julio did against andy lee after the manny steward protogee called him out.

funny that you mention the size difference because over at the Scene they have photos of canelo specifically sparring "with a tall lefty with long arms" purportedly to emulate austin trout.

but there have been threads made here where canelo nuthuggers blindly believe in their steadfast love for canelo that saul is 5'9". why would a 5'9" guy need to find a "tall lefty" when the southpaw 5'9.5" trout is only a half inch taller?

even the *******s and floyd followers are not as blind as a canelo nuthugger.

maybe its the red hair and pink skin that blinds them.

Yes, sir. I saw those sparring photos today. I know Trout is bigger, but goddamn! They hired a basketball player to spar with Canelo. LOL! I am glad to see they are taking this fight seriously. I think everyone in the Canelo camp respects Austin Trout and what he brings to the table.

I am hyped for the whole month of April! Donaire-Rigondeaux, Canelo-Trout, Martinez-Murray, Burns-Vasquez and Garcia-Judah! I will also be going to Mike Tyson's show in April. May is also a great month for us boxing fans. Hopefully no more fights get cancelled or postponed.

Idiot I said Canelo is 5'8 or 1/2 exact size as Mosely or rhodes who are listed at 5'8 1/2

Also that sparring was a long time ago, vs Zurdo Ramirez to practice with lefties I don't think it was for this training camp.

I haven't seen anyone claim he is 59

BoxRec claims Saul is 5' 9" with 71" reach.

Below is a recent puto of Saul sparring a giant lefty in preparation for the fish. Good that Saul is having a good preparation...
