Fight Preview: Canelo v Trout

This Saturday in San Antonio Texas, Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez facess off against Austin 'No Doubt' Trout at The Alamodome.  Canelo is the WBC Super Welterweight Champion as Austin Trout is the WBA Super Welterweight Champion.  This fight will be a Unification bout between these two champions in front of an expected crowd of over 38,000 fans.  Both fighters are on top of their game, with both of them coming off dominant performances in their last respective fights.  Canelo is coming off a 5th round TKO over Josesito Lopez, and Trout is coming of a unanimous decision victory over Miguel Cotto.  
Many experts believe that this will be the first real test for the young 22 year old champion Alvarez as he faces a true champion in his prime in Austin Trout.  The true test for Alvarez is if he can sustain and over come the much longer and taller Trout during the duration of the fight.  
For Trout, he is to take on the young phenom Canelo and see if he can withstand the sheer power of the young champion.  Expect Trout to use his length and keep his distance from Canelo avoiding that left hook to the body.  Trout must also stay away from Canelo's combinations to the head and body.  Look for Trout to try and outbox and out score Canelo during the fight.
Alvarez must use his power and strength to get to Trout and engage him in exchanges.  He must work in close quarters to land effective punches and to display his awesome combinations.  Expect Canelo to be the one pressing the fight and encouraging Trout to mix it up with him.  Trout will be in a hostile environment, despite not being to far from his hometown in Las Cruces.  It will be a very pro-Canelo crowd indeed, but Trout is used to a hostile crowd.  Remember, he did face and beat Miguel Cotto in Madison Square Garden in New York City, so the crowd should not be much of a disadvantage for Trout.  A hard fought, clean and tactical bout is expected between these two champions, with the winner claiming the top position in the Super Welterweight Division.
Canelo versus Trout is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions, will take place at The Alamodome in San Antonio Texas and will be televised by Showtime at 7pm PST.

Canelo Wins by Unanimous Decision
