Austin Trout (36-5-1, 18 KOs) has the edge over other experts heading into Saturday night's boxing in Las Vegas as he fought both Saul Alvarez (59-2-2, 39 KOs), and with Jermell Charlo (35-1-1, 39 KOs). 19 KOs).
Trout lost both fights with a small points advantage; in both fights he was not a favorite and, in the opinion of some, did not even deserve to lose. But Trout managed to get to know both boxers well. And although Charlo is moving up from junior middleweight (69.85 kg) to super middleweight (76.2 kg), the boxer from Texas is betting on him.
“On paper Canelo is the favorite, but with Charlo we have a lot of unknowns and I expect him to be a surprise in this fight. Another thing is, if he wins by a small margin in the ring, will he get the judges' decision? After all, the fight will take place in Las Vegas, Alvarez’s homeland. Jermell can move a lot and throw punches. I'm not saying Canelo's footwork is bad, but he has to freeze for a while to throw a strong punch. When I faced both of them, I was honestly more concerned about Jermell's strength, even though Alvarez was the one sending me to the floor. I’m banking on surprise in this fight,” Trout said in an interview with FightHub.
