Saturday's RING junior middleweight championship clash of unbeatens Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Austin Trout is another bout that is too close to call during what is shaping up as a year of upsets.

"I'm going to win. Without a doubt, I'm going to win. This fight is personal because Trout beat my brother," Saul Alvarez said of his April 20 championship match with Austin Trout in Showtime's All-Access: Canelo vs. Trout Preview.

Saul Alvarez on Austin Trout, who defeated Alvarez's older brother, Rigoburto, in 2011: "Beating him will make a statement, and in so doing, I plan to avenge my brother’s loss to him and bring victory home to Mexico."

Saul Alvarez says he's focused on his 154-pound title unification bout with Austin Trout on April 20, but he also says wants to headline a big show on Sept. 14 even if it competes with Floyd Mayweather's planned pay-per-view date.

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez said of Miguel Cotto, "eventually, he's going to knock out Austin Trout."

Andre Berto was treated for injuries and released from Loma Linda University Medical Center following Saturday night's loss to Robert Guerrero, and is resting with family at his home in Winter Haven, Fla.

Austin Trout described his tendency since childhood to envision beating his boxing heroes in the ring, and said, "I have a big list of fighters that I really admire, and Miguel Cotto is on that list."

Austin Trout says facing Miguel Cotto in his partisan New York won't affect him: "The crowd has never had an effect on me. If anything, what it has done is given the motivation and it has made me want to make them shut up."

In advance of the Showtime-televised, Dec. 1 Miguel Cotto-Austin Trout clash , FOX Deportes will each air Cotto's victory over Shane Mosley from 2007, and Trout's win over Rigoburto Alvarez from February of last year.
