    You've got to take the fact that this fight is in Texas into consideration. If Donaire Rigondeaux had been in Texas then Donaire would have won a split decision.

    If Alvarez spends the fight coming forward and throwing punches then even if he gets picked off and soundly outboxed all night long then he'll get the decision.

    And that's what I think will happen. I'm not sold on Alvarez. He looks the business in fights but he's fighting welterweights and light welterweights. I think Trout is a massive step up for him and will have enough to win a UD, but then Alvarez will get it on the cards.

    If Alvarez does walk through him then I'll have to take him seriously.

    Well Trout did beat Saul's bother in Mexico but I do agree I have some trepidation regarding the bouts officiating.

    Gonna go with Canelo on this one, I think it will be his break out performance and he will win a hard fought SD. I think Canelo is faster and has more power than Trout but it will be a war!
    The key is Self-discipline.

    I want Saul.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    True, For Alvarez, San Antonio, Texas is like having the fight in Mexico, the Alamodome will be jammed full of Mex fans not wanting to see their boy lose.

    I'm thinking Alvarez spanks Austin, but then I thought Cotto would too. Keep in mind that in over 50 years of predicting fights i've never been wrong 2 weeks in a row.

    WAR CANELO!
