This fight is a very exciting match up and it's a fight that not many people thought would happen.Austin Trout upset the odds and beat Miguel Cotto in his back yard which consequently led to a match up against Saul "Canelo" Alvarez .Canelo wanted Cotto,but trout brings another type of problem to cotto.There's also a back story in this,as trout defeated Canelo's brother,so there is a bit of revenge on the cards for Canelo.
Canelo is coming off a TKO victory over Lopez back in September,and he is currently the golden boy of Mexican boxing.His record of 41 wins and 0 losses and 1 draw speaks for itself,although his doubters would put question marks on the level of opponents he has faced.But at the age of 22,he has time to put that right.But make no mistake,if there were doubts about his previous opponents,a victory over a boxer of trouts ability would put them to bed.
Austin Trout has had a much quieter road to this fight,he holds 26 wins with 0 losses and 0 wins but his recent win over Miguel Cotto has to be the highlight of his record.
This will be a very intriguing fight,Canelo has the power to finish trout and if he does,it will happen early in the fight.Trout if he sticks to his game plan and doesn't fight the type of fight Canelo wants he has the ability with his jab to get the decision.Both have speed and both have power,which makes it very close.No fighter really has a clear cut advantage and i expect that to tell on the judges scorecard.
Prediction:
Canelo win via split decision.

Yeah canelo wins, I like the idea of the scores being given out but this fight was a bad example of it, trout knows he lost it, canelo can sit back for last round, but judges scoring is all over the place if one had such a huge margin
Good fight though very close but canelo head movement and better shots landed wins it for me.
