Canelo Alvarez had tough matchups before he met Austin Trout on April 20, 2013 but this fight was a step up for the young Mexican star.
Trout was a big, strong 154-pounder who was undefeated and coming off an impressive victory over future Hall of Famer Miguel Cotto in defense of his world title. He was a real threat to Alvarez.
In the end, Canelo passed the test, outboxing Trout to win a clear, unanimous decision — 118-109, 115-112, 116-111 — although some knowledgeable observers thought it was closer than those scores indicate.
