(Photo Credit: Stephanie Trapp / SHOWTIME) By Dan Ambrose: WBA junior middleweight champion Austin Trout (26-0, 14 KO’s) sees himself as the bigger and stronger and more talented fighter compared to his shorter opponent WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (41-0-1, 30 KO’s) for this Saturday night at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.
Trout said to eastsideboxing.com “They’re [the Alamodome fans] going to see a boxing clinic…If I see thing aren’t going well for me, I’ll change up…I feel I’m the bigger, stronger guy. I’m going to prove it on Saturday…they say he’s the stronger guy…he’s not. He hasn’t fought anyone my size.”
I agree with Trout. He does look like the bigger fighter, and even if he’s not quite the same puncher as Canelo, he punches hard enough to make it really close in the power department. The main differences between the two of them are the size advantage that Trout has in addition to his superior boxing skills and southpaw stance.
