Trout after the fight: He was the better man

[KnockUTheFukOut]

Well Trout is CLASS of course he is not going to make excuse or scream "ROBBERY"

But that still don't change the fact that I thought he won...could he have fought better and done some things better? ABSOLUTELY! But if this fight is away from Texas, Trout either gets the decision or they call it a Draw

I finna watch the fight on DVR, just got back from the the live fight. Im still a fan of Trout, but he was the beaten fighter tonight. Props to Saul for a damn good game plan, and he showed far more head and core movement than he has ever shown, and I saw that from a box. Should be interesting to see it from the DVR, as I surly didnt hear any commentating while I was at the fight. Just crowd noise, which may double as commentary, being that it was a pro Canelo crowd.

Commentators didn't touch too much on the head movement or evasiveness but I for one was very impressed by it. I don't see how anyone who claims to be a fan of the "sweet science" aspect can overlook it. It was a large part of his defense and has gotten little credit.

trout didn't land any punches, that's why he knew for a fact he didn't win, if he was in a war where there were exchanges he might have felt his punches were more effective than canelo's, but he never landed much of anything, instead he was the only one eating clean shots

i think from here, we can label the people who had trout winning as idiots that should be ignored from future boxing discussions

Well that is interesting lmaooo. I'm not saying robbery as it was close, but you cant say anyone who scored it for him should be ignored from anything

I agree. Canelo's upper body movement gave Trout a very hard time in the ring tonight. I just re-watched the fight via DVR and saw that it was a much closer fight than I saw live. I still had Canelo winning, but I scored it 114-113 for Canelo. There were a few close rounds, so two of the judges were in my margin of scores. 116-111, and 115-112 are both good scores IMO. The last judge was out to lunch if you ask me. Great night for boxing, and Texas judges for the most part did get it right.

Saul surprised me with his movement and overall defense. Im more of a fan today than I was yesterday.

I wouldnt mind seeing them both fight again minus the semi-open scoring.
