Austin "No Doubt" Trout was busier, but Saul "Canelo" Alvarez's power punching and defense (only 20% landed by Trout) was the difference in the fight. Canelo landed 43% of his power shots.

Canelos workrate was very poor, I don't care if he had more power, the point is he was throwing less punches and at points just not engaging

Landing punches wins rounds, avoiding them doesn't. People saying Canelo should get credit for avoiding and Trout missing are morons. Only landed punches count.
If a fighter lands 10 jabs out of a 100 thrown and the other 2/2. Does the fighter that landed 2 win the round because he had 100% accuracy and the person who landed more had only 10%?
Yeah but if one fighter lands 12 punches in a round and the other lands 10 harder more effective punches do you not give the round to the latter?
IF you go by compubox numbers (which should be taken with a grain of salt as compubox numbers are often not accurate which could be the case in this fight) Then you would have to give Canelo rounds 2,3,4,7,9 and 11 which would give him 6 rounds, Canelo 114-113

Yep you missed the part when trout was being rocked in the face and body real hard in almost every round if not every. Especially all the times trouts knees buckled thru out the fight rofl:smashfrea
It only appeared that Trout was wobbled to you, because you beat your meat furiously when Alvarez threw a punch.

Numbers are too high for both guys, especially trouts jabs. In round 1 he landed 1 weak jab at :32, the rest all missed. Compubox had him landing 8:ugh:
Was thinking the sane thing, I know he was bussy but his real connections were few
