Did open scoring hurt the Canelo Trout fight?

[PAC-BOY]

Or you know Canelo running around the ring stopped him a bit too.
Once they said the scores Canelo did nothing becausehe knew he already won from some ****riding judges lol

i can see that! He went on safe mode. But still he landed some good shots and his head movement was spot on. Trout missed a lot of shots

I don't understand what Trout was doing. He knew he needed the last three rounds, but I didn't see him going for the kill at all. He pushed a little more in round 12, but he definitely wasn't going all out like he should have. I lost some respect for him after that.

He knew Canelo could drop him so he still wanted to be cautious, I think. Losing by KO would've been worse than losing my lopsided decision because he still has a lot of fans behind him.

I was rooting for Trout but I think Canelo edged him out. He got the KD, he landed the better, cleaner, harder shots, and he evaded the majority of Trout's big shots/combos. Trout looked like Cotto from their last fight, struggling to find anything.

Open scoring hurt the fans and the fight. Knowing the scoring kept Canelo playing it safe and kept us disappointed knowing Trout needed a KO to win when the fight seemed closer

[Hyper Knuckles]

For me as a fan, it made me less into it. We was hype as fck then when we realized Trout needed a KO to win, I was like its not gonna happen for him so he basically lost before the fight was over. I hate open scoring.

I thought he was looking to KO Canelo pre-fight?

[DannYankee]

Yeah Forced Trout to fight out of he's comfort zone and Canelo just coasted when he knew he had it in the bag . Not to mention took out a lot of excitement out of it as a fan.

If you're in a competitive fight, and someone tells you haven't won 1 round, it can deflate your sail.

Did it hurt the fight? Maybe, maybe not. It sure as hell didn't help it.

there's nothing good to be gained from open scoring
all it can do is change how the fighters would fight otherwise
guys ahead will slow down, guys too far behind might quit
can't say for sure what direct effect it had on this fight
maybe Alvarez cutting off a bit toward the end
