Comments Thread For: Canelo Drops, Decisions Trout To Unify WBC/WBA Belts

And doing nothing most of the round doesn't either.

Jabbing the air to stop the other guy actually hurts your scoring because it makes you look scared and like you are conceeding ring generalship. I'm sorry but Canelo took Trout out of his own game..

Dude I can tell you right now Oscar and Schaeffer are going bomb those analyst behind closed doors..they were critical all the way thru of the scorecards and I agree but even on mute Canelo took trout out of his game slipped literally about 300 plus punches for a guy with no defense to take the superior boxer off his game says alot.

they already bombed the judges bank accounts, with a flow of cash.

Canelo vs Trout

Canelo is a money making machine and it will be very hard to win a decision over him on any fight. That scoring magin was way out of proportion!

I had Trout wining 12 round fight 7 rounds for Trout.

Oh well Canelo's next oponents are not easy let him celebrate while he can.

I had it 115 - 112 Trout. I could reasonably see it 114 - 113 Trout or maybe 114 - 113 Canelo but 115-112, 116-111 and 118-109 to Canelo are ridiculous...

Another rigged fight it seems...

[Jam Jars]

He slipped well over 300 jabs...for a guy according to folks here with no defense and no head movement that's a hell of an achievement. Floyd would beat Canelo? Let him prove it..both have 154 belts and are #1 and #2...

What's that got to do with scoring? You don't get points for avoiding punches you get them for landing them.

HAHAHAHA

So, its that why half or most of the round Canelo wasn't doing anything which Showtime commentators stated.

That is what you need to do to avoid getting hit but Trout landed some punches. Trout was making him Canelo go defense.

No, not at all. When Canelo bob & weaved in the middle of the ring, it looked like it was by choice. In one round he was even having fun with it.

Only when he was at the ropes slipping punches, could you make that case. But even then it looked like it was by choice as Canelo seemed to try to lure him into one big counter punch. Canelo won this by Ring Generalship.

The only way to offset that would be if Trout was outlanding him by double margins, because nothing he threw all night looked effective. He didn't outbox Canelo and he didn't hurt him at any point.

wow what bs! oscar and golden boy is just as bad as Arum.

they are worse!

Stanley who had it 118-109 was the lone judge representing Trout's sanctioning body, the WBA which is interesting. I thought Canelo edged it with better D and the harder cleaner punches. Austin's a class act 100% and was gracious in defeat. I would like to see a rematch.

I picked Trout to win this fight right before the fight, because I couldn't decide and he didn't disappoint. I can accept that Trout lost, but not by those scores. I like the announcer scores more better. Would not like to see Canelo fight Floyd when he comes into the ring at 172. But if they do fight, we all noticed how tired Canelo got in the later rounds. If Floyd is able to make him miss, it may be easy pickings for Floyd. But fighting someone atleast 20 pounds or more heavier is not a good fight.

Big ups to canelo. Id say he barely won. One knockdown doesn't win a fight. For him to be 22 he handled himself well. Reason alvarez won regardless of being outlanded is he never was hurt. I felt like trout couldn't hurt him. Definitely closer than scored. Trout is a ****ing warrior! He got knocked down then dominated the rest of the round. Big victory for boxing after somewhat of a stinker from last week.

Definitely impressed with canelo. Finally proved he can **** with top talent. Deserving of a mayweather shot if possible. If not bring on cotto.
