mosley has fought to survive when he got hurt in some fights, but against alvarez that wasnt one of those times. he was ancient and pretty far gone but still didnt seem to get discouraged by all the punches from alvarez and he continued to fight back until the end. i highly doubt trout will fight like a bitch, either.
he pretty much fought to survive late in his career against pacquiao and mayweather jr. ive never denied that.
we'll meet halfway on this one (since I will never get you to admit he did that against Vernon The Python)
I have trout all the way here. I want to say 8th round stoppage, but I'm not sure. 8th, 9th, either way, Trout has his hands raised at the end.
REED Can't Get a Real Fix on this Fight... On 1 Hand, REED Applauds Canelo for Taking the Fight when the Cotto Matchup was STILL Attractive, but REED Sorta Wishes Canelo WOULDN'T Take the Fight, ie., REED Recognizes the RISK Trout Poses...w/Out Question, it'd Be BETTER for Boxing if Canelo WINS & he Can... He's Very Similar to Cotto, but BIGGER, a BETTER Puncher & Possessor of BETTER Handspeed.... REED'll Make a Final Prediction Before the Opening Bell Rings... REED:fightme:
I'm gonna take my 9 quid winnings from the Rigo decision win and reinvest it in Trout by decision at 3-1! I'll be rich I tells ya!
A young Cotto was all around a much better and more skilled fighter than Canelo, at least from what I've seen so far of Canelo..
Agreed. There's no contest really, Canelo was outboxed by Alfonso fucking Gomez for a few rounds. Cotto is/was much better.
If REED's Recalling the Fight Correctly, it Almost looked as if Canelo CARRIED Gomez...Beat the Shit Out of him EARLY, Coasted a Bit (Perhaps Out of Fatigue or Straight Up CARRYING him), then Beat the Shit Out of Him to Stop Him... Canelo Looked like a BUM, Nearly Getting Stopped by Jose Miguel Cotto, but Since Then, he's Steadily IMPRESSED REED w/Each Fight... REED:fightme:
He's a bit better than I thought, but I was thoroughly unimpressed with him Vs Cotto, Hatton and Gomez. I expect Trout to win convicingly, if he manages to beat Trout, I'll stop doubting him.
Yeah, outside of power, there's not too much Canelo has over a prime Cotto. Circa 07 Cotto would have beaten the shit outta Canelo.
Same. The guy couldn't put a dent in Matthew Hatton. I don't see this great power people speak of, at all. Shot Mosley wasn't bothered by his shots at all either.
When Mosley gets hit harder than he can handle, he goes into "don't knock me out" mode... He never did that against FitzAlvarez... And he was shot, on top of it If he was any type of hitter, Mosley would have politely lost the fight... He didn't
I think it's style more than anything else. Canelo is far more hittable than Forrest of Pac, that's what gave Mosley hope
