That connect percentage stat has all the scientific reliability of ghost hunting.

Rigo creeping on almost all the lists except jabs. Trout throws a lot more jabs than i remember him connecting.

This has a very high chance of being incredibly boring. Because both are defensive minded and not really risk takers.

I was convinced Trout didn't win against Cotto because GB knew Canelo would get KO'D against Cotto. Now watching Trout/Lara I'm wondering how in the hell Trout ever got a belt. The guy looks like an amateur. .............

Watching this fight is like eating oatmeal with no sugar.

Trout just has no natural left hand. This is why I never had faith in converted fighters. The Cotto's, Dlh's, Trout's, and even Ward. With Ward, and I like Ward of the lot...but I'm not sold on him totally. The good thing about Ward is that he can fight inside while the others can't and that makes a big difference in your style even as a converted fighter.

It's just something about these converted guys that irks me to the point that I don't trust them in big fights.

[Frank Ducketts]

Now you see the difference in a true southpaw and a converted southpaw.

[Frank Ducketts]

Lara will be exposed soon for not being able to fight inside. He loves to box from the outside, and that's his style, but a true boxer puncher will beat him. Lara is winning so that's what counts, but I'm not sold on him either.

[Frank Ducketts]

Alexander is another converted southpaw that I just can't put faith in. Like Ward, he can fight inside though.
