With Lawrence Cole as ref in Texas, because the influence of "Daddy Dickie," I predict that some corruption is very likely. You have Golden Boy, who like Arum caters to the Mexican-Latin American fighters and their clientele. You have the WBC, who has been known throughout their history to cater to the Mexican-Latino population and their fighters. You have Texas itself, which does often violates ABC Rules to get what they want even though they are a member of the ABC. (The use of the WBC 4th and 8th round Open scoring in Chavez-Rubip and Garcia-Morales in violation of ABC Rules.) The ABC recommending that Holyfield in the past not being allowed to fight anymore for medical reason, but Texas looking the other way. Chavez Jr. being allowed to skip drug testing by the commission, and than the WBC doing anything and everything for Julio's kid because of his Dad's legacy embedded in that organization.

Why would Delahoya put Alverez in such a tough fight against Trout, who could beat him, perhaps soundly, unless something's gonna go down with the officials in this fight. I know Cole is going to get the ref assignment and he will favor Alvarez in this fight, No Doubt (pun intended) that Trout MUST stop Alvarez to win. If I were Trout I would start at least trying for fairness in the fight with at least two neutral judges for the fight and better yet a non-Texas ref. What good will that do? The WBC has stronger influence than the WBA a lot of times on official selection, based on the commission. Dick Cole was a ratings chair and former WBC Supervisor for years. The Cole's are so influential in Texas. They are literally millionaires. Alverez is not Mexican, but his following will be HUGE for this fight. How many people are going to be in favor of Trout for this fight?

This will be worse than Chavez-Whitaker's draw. I had the fight actually closer at 116-113 or 7-4-1 for Whitaker. This fight is Diaz-Malinaggi I with at least one near shut-out card for Alvarez if any rounds are even competitive. Trout will get no breaks in this fight. If he maybe does everything but kill Alverez, he might possibly get a draw on the cards. In Diaz-Malinaggi a close fight that could have gone from a draw to no more than a two-point edge either way the fight was scored:

115-113 (Diaz) "Fine and Fair" (Raul Caiz Sr.) California

116-112 (Diaz) "Biased" (David Southerland) Oklahoma

118-110 (Diaz) "Corrupt", "Sick" and "Fucked Up Shit" (Gale Van Hoy)

Now, put Alvarez instead of Diaz's name on at least two of those cards in the Trout fight for the winner and that's what's gonna happen. I think Paulie Malinaggi would agree on this as well. Trout is about to be taken hook, line and sinker in this fight by the judges. I would love to be wrong about this whole post and have neutral officials in this fight. However, given the past history of the Texas Commission and influences above, I can't see that happening.

alvarez is mexican.

His name is Orphan Annie. Again this fight will make Chavez Sr. vs. Whitaker look fair. This will be the robbery of the century. No way Golden Boy will have their cash cow lose. Orphan Annie by a wide UD.

Stand corrected yea he is Mexican but I LOVE the "Little Orphan Annie" nickname!!!! hahahaha!!! That's better than "Cinnamon Head!!!" However, Dolimite and I see the same fate of Trout getting robbed.

Jack

First off, Orphan Annie's hair is incredibly gay! I don't even know what to say.. Trout looks like he is ready for business. I have my money on Trout even though I know it will be a robbery of all robberies. I just hope for a great fight and more importantly I hope for honest judges and a good unbiased ref! What do yawl think?

Good staredown!

However, the issues remain. If there is a fight to be marred by biased judging in Alvarez's favor this is it. Do you think Trout knows he is going to get robbed? Honestly, if I were him, I would threaten to pull out of the fight unless neutral officials are appointed and the venue is changed to a neutral setting. I hope Trout knows what is about to happen to him. Why would he allow the corrupt commission of Texas as the site for this fight? If I am Trout, seriously, I walk unless their is a venue change. You all know what's going to happen otherwise.

Somebody really doesn't like Canelo on here.

what i hate about canelo is that he considers himself a legitmate contender. I mean it's okay to fool the public fighting nobodies, but he really believes his own hype. Even giving Mayweather an ultimatum? I mean wtf son, sit down.

you hate bradley...you hate canelo...is there anyone you like?

Well lol, quite a few, Martinez,James Toney, Hopkins. There's a few lol, I just dislike a lot of fighters due to the fact they've exploited the ABC belts. If there was one champion people would be forced to fight each other. Otherwise they stay a contender and miss there shot

I have to hear why you dislike those cats. I am really curious. Now Tony makes all Detroiters look bad, my pop is from there and he cringes whenever Tony talks.

TROUT BY STOPPAGE--- he could have stopped Cotto but played it safe out of cautious respect... Alvarez is nowhere near as good or dangerous and I see Trout after 7 rounds stepping on the gas and stopping Alvarez in round 10--- Alvarez has done Jack Shit in the ring--- Trout beat a future hall of famer. No way I see him winning

Alvarez has already surpassed Oscar as a fighter. Come this kid has fought everyone at different weight classes and won! He is a amazing fighter. He stopped Josesito Lopez and this is the guy who broke Ortiz's jaw! He beat the guy who beat Ortiz! This guy is the truth! Trout is in trouble because he only fights fighters at his weight class so he is not use to fighting someone who has fought people two weight classes beneath him. Trout has never see the punching power of Saul. He is going to be in for a long night

The reason Canelo doesn't get a lot of credit is because he hasn't fought one single legit fighter at his weight class and yet GB wants us to believe that Trout is in trouble. GB is telling us a man who walks around and has fought I believe at 165-168 is in danger from a fighter who fights 140 and 147lbers

Lopez beat Ortiz at WW and stepped up to JMW and got handled. Canelo hasn't won any fight that he wasn't supposed to win. Trout wasn't supposed to beat Cotto, he wasn't supposed to be a world champ and be in this position. I'll be the first to give Canelo props if he beats Austin but I think an upset is brewing in Trout's favor

I think he was being sarcastic, I hope he was atleast

Yeah he was I was just messing with him lol

is this meant to be sarcasm?

YES! Sarcasm to the extreme. I just want Orphan Annie to get hit one good time. That's all.

wtf betting wise Trout is the underdog. Ah well better for me

it's done 30 dollars on trout will give me 90 dollars profit.

Trout's the underdog?! Huh???

Man, I was going to go to this fight but my boys copped out on me and I don't want to go alone. Oh well, maybe next time.

I got Trout by decision in this one.

That would be awesome, heard san Antonio is a great place

SA is awesome, I'm just pissed that my boys backed out on me----i even tried to make it a little cheaper for them by getting the $150 seats instead of the $300 seats but they didn't go for it. I couldn't even justify trying to go to the fights to see them for $50 in the Nosebleed seats when I can see them on PPV for less and at a better view/not to mention the comforts and conveniences of home.

i saw an interview where canelo ask that they sell tickets for 20 bucks!!! that's unheard of.

Just found out that May Day will be in theaters across the country. If I am Trout I would be a little pissed. The undercard would have helped Trout get his name out and Alvarez would get a wider audience other than Mexican fans. Great marketing, has the SA tickets been sold out? they should be.

I know ledderman is usually on crack but did anyone read the article with him saying Canelo will "destroy" trout?? Popped a Molly hes sweatin!

i haven't been to san antonio in years...but last time i was there..it was the shit. the river walk was pretty cool. i remember there being a bunch of fine females there as well.
