Canelo's Power punching won him this fight.

[BUNGALOWS]

i know, im just sayin 8-4 minus 1KD = 3 points difference not 2, thus 115-112 should be the right figure .. itcould've been just a typo ..no biggie

Nah, actually it's 116-112.

Boxing is 95% about landing the cleanest more effective punches.

You're right but I believe it's closer to 100%. I don't give a fuck whether it's Napoleon Bonaparte in the ring, generalship means fuck all.

[Cinci Champ]

ya but 119-109? there is absolutely no way

[intoccabile]

More active meaning what? Yea he was more active in throwing. He missed soooo much and whenever he did land, they were jabs or slaps. Activity is about landing more/better punches, not just throwing

We'll just have to agree to disagree. I don't think Trout won because of activity, not at all. I think he won because he did enough - he landed often. He doesn't have Canelos power and the kid is a tank. 5'7", 172 on fight night.... too many people put too much into heavy looking punches, Nelo isn't easily moved by leather, he's a stud.

I thought he was outboxed. He looked very amateur throwing those huge loopie baseball pitches. When fatigue set in, so did desperation, he began fishing for huge counters in spurts. He was tired because Trout did good work. That's how I saw it.

Popping a jab into mid air 95% of the time doesnt count as a landed punch. Yes Trout barely landed his jab. He was so far away, the jab would end in front of Canelo's face. Maybe you were watching it on your phone but popping it all night in his face?

dude, austins jab was getting through consistently. he was touching canelos face with it consistently..........austin throws a lot of jabs as range finders, so every single one them aren't meant to hit canelo. just keep him at a distance. and then ****, 10 will get threw in the round........thats landing the jab at a good rate.

what are you even talking about?

[loui_ludwig]

No, his promoters did.

[Rhyme 4 Rhyme]

I had the fight 7-5 Trout, giving Canelo only a 10-9 round in the seventh. Thought there were a few swing rounds though that could have gone either way.

i dont mind canelo winning at all but it was so much closer than the scoe cards shows trout honestly had no chance knockout withstanding

[BattleAxePurist]

Flicking jabs that barely graze the hairs on your opponents chiny or harder shots that visibly stagger/affect your opponent are somehow equal in measure, Trout lost the fight more than Canelo won it he was hesitsnt to throw power shots and settled for 2nd best.

All in all Canelo has terrible stamina not even good let alone elite and it will be a issue down the road.

[-Hyperion-]

Canelo showed he was better, but the kid is a passive as **** fa6 with no workrate and no stamina, and it almost cost him this fight(there were at least 2 rounds were if he doesnt land one showy jab, everyone would've given to Trout..).....he is the new age abraham, and he has tremendous luck, because Paul Williams would've absolutely destroyed him with the granite chin and relentless pace.....
