Canelo Trout Fight: Austin Trout Praises Canelo Alavarez For Demanding Fight

Canelo Alvarez, a 22-year-old rising Mexican star with possibly the most rabid fan base in the sport, is taking on Austin Trout Saturday night. Trout's last fight was in December 2012, when he shocked the boxing world and defeated Miguel Cotto in Madison Square Garden. Trout is often avoided by top fighters due to his high skill-level but relative anonymity beyond hardcore fans.
