It was only competitive in the beginning and Trout adjusted nicely from mid rounds on. He found a hole for his uppercut and landed it all night. Cotto has better defense than Canelo and both of their stamina are as ****ty as each other.
Trout might not make Canelo look silly but I think he will outbox him clearly.

I had Cotto-Trout even through 8, with Trout winning 3 of the final 4 rounds.
While Trout upped his work-rate in those rounds and clearly got the best of them, it's also wise to keep in mind that Cotto always tires in the championship rounds.
Cotto was effective doing some of the things I see Canelo doing, only Canelo is bigger, faster and has more power. It's a very interesting fight, but I've got Canelo.

I had it competitive up to like the 6th. But like I said, remember Canelo fights in spurts and has ****ty stamina himself.
Cotto seems to be the benchmark for Trout, but who is it for Canelo? This is actually Canelo's first real test at 154lbs. Yes, I agree Canelo has more power than Cotto, is bigger, but one thing that is constant is that Canelo has defensive liabilities and has shown it against B/C class fighters. He's never faced anyone who moves, pumps the jab, is HIS size, and will dig deep to get the W. These are things to consider. Canelo's been generating a lot of attention in recent years, but for the most part it's been a showcasing against fighters he clearly outmatched in every way possible. If Canelo can beat Trout, he's without a doubt the real deal and would deserve a shot at Mayweather.
If it does go to the cards, do not be surprised if Trout gets jobbed.
