Trout grew up in Las Cruces, New Mexico and he’s fought lots of Mexican fighters with the Canelo style of fighting. Trout doesn’t believe that Canelo has fought too many guys with his style of fighting and that’s going to be the difference in this fight.

Canelo with Mexican arrest warrant out on him for alleged assault

by

canelo55By Chris Williams: WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez has a warrant for his arrest in Mexico for an alleged 2011 assault of the 5’3” former two-time IBF light flyweight champion Ulises Solis, according to record.com.mx. Both Canelo and his brother Juan Ramon have warrants out on them in the state of Jalisco.

Solis made a complaint for October of 2011, accusing Canelo of allegedly beating him and causing injuries.

Canelo has a fight coming up this Saturday night against WBA junior middleweight champion Austin Trout at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. This is a big, big step up fight for Canelo because up until now he’s been matched against fighters like Matthew Hatton, Alfonso Gomez, Lovemore N’dou, Josesito Lopez, Ryan Rhodes and Shane Mosley.

Canelo thinks he can adapt to Trout’s speed

by

Canelo_KR6A1471(Photo Credit: Stephanie Trapp/SHOWTIME) By Dan Ambrose: If you’ve watched WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarado (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) fight before you’ll have noticed that he’s not exactly the fastest fighter you’ll ever see, especially with his slow, flat-footed style of moving around the ring. He’s never going to be considered a mover like a young Floyd Mayweather Jr. or Pernell Whitaker.

This Saturday night, Canelo is facing by far his best opponent of his career in WBA junior middleweight champion Austin Trout (26-0, 14 KO’s) on Showtime from the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

This fight presents all kinds of problems for Canelo because he’s going to be facing a fighting style that he’s been largely shielded from by his promoters at Golden Boy Promotions. Whether intentional or not, Canelo has not been matched against fighters with good foot speed that can move around the ring.

Trout: Guerrero will give Mayweather a lot of problems

by

guerrero12By Allan Fox: WBA junior middleweight champion Austin Trout sees unbeaten WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. having great difficulties in trying to figure out a way to beat Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero on May 4th.

The reason being Trout sees Guerrero as being able to do a lot of different things in the ring and adapt when things aren’t working out well for him. He can fight on the inside, throw a lot of punches, rough Mayweather up, and fight well on the outside to take advantage of his long reach and southpaw stance.

canelo1By Dan Ambrose: WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) has spent the past month sparring with southpaws with the same size and fighting style of his opponent for this Saturday night WBA junior middleweight champion Austin Trout (26-0, 14 KO’s) and the 22-year-old Canelo sees himself as being 100% ready for this fight.

Canelo said to centraldeportiva.com “During the preparation had good sparring with the style and characteristics of Trout and we are ready. Trout is a southpaw and that makes it tough fights.

Trout: Canelo’s style won’t give me problems

by

canelo211By Dan Ambrose: WBA junior middleweight champion Austin Trout (26-0, 14 KO’s) isn’t worried about the flat-footed fighting style of his opponent WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) for their fight this Saturday night.

Trout is more concerned with the skills that the 22-year-old Canelo has than his plodding style of fighting because he understands completely the type of fighter Canelo is because he’s been in with his types many, many times in the past. It’s the Chavez Jr. style of fighting, and he knows how to defeat that style.
