Did open scoring hurt the Canelo Trout fight?

[ElMeroChingon]

No, not at all. A lot of crying fans in here this morning just like I thought/knew there would be. Trout was the one running his mouth al last week about how he was gonna win by KO and if, and only if, Canelo's chin was up to the task, he would win by landslide UD. If the fight was even remotely close, he was gonna "step on the gas" to ensure that the fight would not be taken from him.

Yet, Trout was the one doing the stanky leg and getting up off the canvas last night instead of Canelo. I guess the "hypejob" rides on.

I know, This is getting redicullussssss

Look @1:10


What now haters?

Destroyed the fight at least for me as a fan. I thought Canelo was ahead in a very close fight, with maybe the KD being the difference, and where the last rounds were going to be decisive, and then I hear that Canelo is winning 80-71 and 78-73 and I knew the fight was effectively over.

[The Smash]

You would have to be quite ****** not to think that knowing the fight was over - as it was on two of the judges cards - influenced both Canelo and Trout.

[Evil Abed]

The poll speaks for itself.

[Ringlife]

I don't like that at all it tells us who's winning the fight before the fight is over.

I didn't even get to watch the fight last night Because my Comcast guide had the fight for 10:00 and it didn't even come on at all.

I had to watch it today in the mourning. I didn't like the scores being announced at the end of the 8th round. It kinda took the suspense of the fight at the end.

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

That's what he said he was going to do. Called a 9th rd ko on the all access.

[PAC-BOY]

There will be no open scoring in the May/ Canelo fight. Canelo knew he was ahead on the score cards and cruised to his win. Trout knew he was behind and couldnt win by KO so he just lived through it.
It wont be like that in the fight with Floyd. Canelo dont want it to go to the cards.

[Doctor_Tenma]

Trout hurt himself with that petty offense of his, opening scoring should have helped him because he was never going to win being that inaccurate/ punching too far out of range. What kills me most is that he says he should have boxed more

[_Gatti_]

canelo would have fought with more urgency had he not known he was ahead.
Visa Versa. Open scoring sucks ass! Would have been a better fight for sure!

[TX_BOXNG]

i think it did Trout seem out of rhythm n desperate to get back on track

n Canelo knew he was well ahead n seemed comfortable with the easy win no risk
