So what exactly won Canelo the fight???

[cupocity303]

Good Lord almighty. I'm assuming you're a fan of B-Hop and yet, you couldn't see that Trout was the one exhibiting Ring Generalship.

Trout was the BUSIER fighter, especially with his jab. Knowing that he was going to be robbed after the 4th, he was the PRIMARY aggressor, which should have been Canelo's modus operandi (MO)...

Don't let that ONE KD skew your perceptions...

Yes, I am a fan of Hop. And he has won and been the Ring General in fights where he barely thew 15 punches in the round. I.E. a lot of em were in display against Calzaghe.

Being busier is not automatically Ring Generalship, unless you're also effective with it and hurting the other guy in some form of fashion, none of which happened against Canelo. When Canelo was not throwing, he was controlling the round with head movement, when he was throwing, he was landing the cleaner punches.

The texas judges won him the fight. This fight was no different from Donaire vs Rigo...Donaire landing the big power shots..CANELO....Rigo out boxing which was TROUT..you even had the 1 knockdown.

In the end obviously jabs don't count in texas.

Actually, it was Canelo who was outboxing Trout.

whoever throws more wins, i had trout in a landslide

Trout pawed his jab from 10 feet away and then slapped when he was near rarely making contact. Boxing is 95% about landing the cleanest more effective punches. Running around and Jabbing into the air cannot win rounds, neither can "controlling the fight" or simply having a better work rate. Trout was a Calzaghe-Judah hybrid tonight, pawing on the outside and slapping on the inside. Why trout went full feather fist pawer is a wonder to me. He was scared

I still had it 6 rounds a piece an neither guy looked good. Fight was a letdown

We agree there. Neither guy made me say "I want to see them in with Mayweather".

Canelo should fight the Lara/Angulo winner next.

He lander cleaner effective punches. Trout missed most of his power shot. Only punch trout was landin was the jab how is trout gonna win off that?

[Jloro]

And this is all I'm saying myself. My posts may come off strong, but that's just tactics to offset the "It was a clear robbery/ Clearly Trout won but there is no way Canelo could've won" crowd.

lol IMO it could have gone either way. I really don't care about the decision as it was an amazing fight lol but some Canelo fans are going overboard also

[cupocity303]

So you can land 2-3 good shots a round, get out thrown 20-30 punches a round, take off 60-80% of the round (no not an exaggeration, see any of the rounds after the 4th), and win the round???

I guess we can agree to disagree. I honestly didn't feel it was a hard fight to score.

I only agree that it wasn't a hard fight to score in terms of who was having a easier time in there.

Canelo was having an easy time in there, whether he was on offense or on defense. Technically, it was a close fight on a round by round basis but overall, Canelo had him from A to Z. I know Mex Kellerman would agree with his "Who would you rather have been in that round" scoring criteria.

We agree there. Neither guy made me say "I want to see them in with Mayweather".

Canelo should fight the Lara/Angulo winner next.

and Floyd should fight....Devon Alexander?

Come on.

[Southpawology]

What exactly did trout do besides jab the air 75% of the fight? I actually wasnt impressed with either fighter to be honest, canelo would only fight hard for 30 seconds of the round but he showed great defense and slipping punches.

and Floyd should fight....Devon Alexander?

Come on.

You think Canelo should fight Floyd next??? Canelo didn't even seem all for it after the fight, it was the first time I've heard Canelo asked about Floyd and he didn't call him out.

I wouldn't mind seeing Floyd fight the Peterson-Matthysse winner, but I doubt that happens.
