Anybody liking Trout over Rigo? Haven't seen much of Trout, but I've seen plenty of Rigo to know his limitations as a slow, plodding come forward fighter. However in his last fight against Ishida I thought his upperbody movement significantly improved, perhaps due to training with his younger brother Canelo? From what I've seen of Trout, he doesn't seem to have much pop and looks like he likes to potshot mostly. I think he can box circles around Rigo though.
Trout has recently sparred with Margarito in prep for Manny, Matthysse in prep for Judah, and Serg in prep for Paul Will. When asked about Margarito and how he was going to deal with and keep up w/ Manny's speed, he said Margarito couldn't keep up w/ his speed nevermind Manny's, but he made adjustments.
