This is the fight I'm looking forward to the most at the weekend, it should be a tactical battle but no doubt it will have it's moments. I hope trout can do it and I've been a fan of his after he beat Cotto.

At this moment, I like Trout's workrate over lara's bullshit..
First-rate balanced contest. The pair seem evenly matched. I expect Trout by a tight decision :boxing:
Definitely Trout. Whenever I watch the Trout v Canelo fight I still get pissed. That was a much closer fight than the judges scored it. I think it could have been a draw. I like Trouts personality and how he handles himself in and out of the ring. He seems like a truly decent human. Very much looking forward to this fight. I should now say I probably just gave Trout the kiss of death. My picks have not been doing well lately. If Trout does lose, I will accept responsibility.
And yes, I do know he was arrested at taco bell but I don't blame him for that. I always get pissed when I eat one of those shitty tacos. Fighting at taco bell makes him all the more respectable.Quote:

It's a great fight, I think Lara takes it. He's got better hands and feet, timing and power. Trout is good and has a solid output, but I don't think he's about to hurt Lara with one shot, or dictate the pace enough to take Lara off his game. Trout does well on the move against guys that want to get inside, but Lara won't want to fight there and uses his right really well at long range.
I've warmed to this one and am no fan of Lara. But, he is a level above and I see him fighting with a new chip on his shoulder. Trout is a seriously good dude with ability but I was looking for that work rate when he and Rodriquez were staring at each other and Alvarez was giving ground and trying to coast out some rounds. Lara should be able to break up any pace he can establish, spoil a bit and do some sharp shooting for a win. Really though..would love to see Trout step into Lara and turn into a mad man with work rate.

i think tout for this one also
Lara for me in a close fight. He has the better all round skills and more power which will give him the edge.
I think Lara edges an uninspiring fight. It's going to be all boxing and not too much fight unfortunately. I have a feeling Trout gets caught with a counter early and goes into his shell a little bit with Lara doing not much more but enough to win it. Hope I'm wrong and a fight breaks out. :)
Lara by decision or too stoppage. Its just my opinion but I think Trouts chin can take only so many straights before the fight gets stopped. Trout beating Cotto isn't that big to me!!! That fight was nothing to me!!! Personally I feel Trout can't handle power and once he know you have power he turns timid. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F7h4x_f4jMc
I think Trout takes a decision but I'm hoping Lara wins. I'd really like to see Alvarez vs. Lara next year.
I think the Alvarez loss will improve Trout. ;) Trout takes advantage of the openings Lara leavesQuote:

I had hoped Lara would get his long over due shot at Alvarez after this fight but he made Trout look too easy and the fight didn't produce the necessary fireworks. He's probably further from an Alvarez fight than ever.
