Canelo: I Will Be Facing Austin Trout on May 4th - Boxing News

its going to be such a great fight !!!!!!

[IamInuit]

Great news although boxingscene has been known to say fights were done when they weren't.

I got Trout in this one and it certainly is a great style match up.

Mad respect to Alvarez for taking this fight!

Trout all day!

[Spicoli]

This is how it should be and what Champions do. Trout has earned his spot.

I'm thinking Alvarez wins this fight, Trout caught Cotto at the right time, but against Canelo he won't be so lucky.

I disagree. I feel Trout will be too good

I'm really undecided about this one. If the Trout that beat Cotto shows up, things are going to be bad for Alvarez, but if theTrout shows up that beat Rodriquez I'm not sure who wins.

It does not matter what Trout turns up, Canelo stops him early and emphatically. Saul is a good and improving boxer on his way towards greatness. Take away the supposed level of his opponents and actually watch his ability. He is mature and nuanced enough as a boxer to adjust and react to whatever happens on the night. IMHO.

At last. May 4th is looking good

[Rantcatrat]

Trout by unanimous decision. Wrong move for Canelo with a Floyd fight on the horizon. The real question will be whether Floyd will face Trout when Trout wins.

[Nameless]

One thing for sure, this is a great match up and this is definitely a fight worth being seen. Trout hits like an anvil and Canelo sure has a great jaw, this one will be all fireworks and for the moment, I'd tend to think that Canelo would take it in a very tight decision.

I think Trout is being seriously over looked in this one. I agree on Canelos poise and boxing but I attribute that to maturity and frankly him having nothing but one way traffic. I love Lopez to death but honestly, he didn't have a shot. The hardest Canelo has been boxed and eaten a jab was...? Gomez Trout has also gained knowledge of himself off the Cotto win and he's a cutey and can box. He's not going to go in and just fall over in awe of Alvarez and be taken out of his game plan once he gets hit. I think Canelo is putting on his big boy pants here and will get all he can handle and then some. Today I'm going Calelo 12dec.

Disagree all you want @Galaxy, I still say Canelo kicks Trout's ass.

[p4pking]

Good to see this happening, I think it's going to be almost all Canelo though. I think Trout was made to look a little better than he is against Cotto, who was really listless and never got anything going. Trout for me doesn't have the accuracy or snap in his shots to really keep Canelo off of him, and he wont want to fight inside in this one.

[armyash]

It's a fight that Alvarez doesn't have to take so we have to respect that. If he loses he is good enough and young enough to rebuild a HoF career.

Not yet decided.
