Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs. Austin Trout - Saturday night fight/chat thread

[DavilaJones]

I wrote a while back a three paragraph long analysis of why Trout will win, but since its damn 10 in the morning, I got finals and stuck at work I'll summarize.

1. 1 I've seen him be out boxed for many rounds straight in a fight until he manages to tag the opponent.
2. 2 Due to his lack of consistent jabbing, he's forced to be front foot heavy coming forward so he can hit you as soon as he's in range which in turn makes him vulnerable to check hooks as the boxer opponent turns him.
3. 3 He has offensive lulls in majority of rounds which leads me to believe he might have a stamina issue or has a disposition of waiting for an opportunity to strike.
4. 4 Squares up when he punches and though not terrible at defense, alas he is not the most gifted and will be eating jabs all night long.
5. 5 I can't recall him fighting a good solid southpaw.
6. 6 His punching power is akin to Angulo, he doesn't have the one punch KO power he just hits hard enough to wear you down. Now this is not a bad thing at all, in fact it would prevent him from falling in love with his power and get caught in the trap that Donaire did.
   
   He being Canelo.
   
   However since he doesn't jab all that much,I think he will even less against a southpaw and since he squares up while being front foot heavy, leans forward when punching, all of that combined it leads me to believe this fight will be very similar to Chavez Martinez
