    I don't think any of us expected Canelo to be that much faster and sharper than an opponent on Trout's level. Not that Trout is very fast, but his boxing was expected to take away some of Canelos offense. It slowed down his output, but Canelo was fast enough to land everything in his library. Strait right, hook, jab, uppercut, it was all there.

    Ignore his WBC "world title," as of last night Canelo is the champ.

      Dwyer said something interesting about one Canelo punch being worth 3-4 Trout punches because of how powerful and clean they were. He said the punchstats didn't reflect the quality of punches Canelo landed.

        Why do you consider his opinion as being significant? He gets most of his picks wrong so we know his observational skills are terrible.

          I really don't care if Compubox claimed trout landed more punches to be honest, for me Canelo landed the better noticeable punches and display better ring generalship than trout.

            It's also the reason why he has the same shitty ass camera for years. It's 2013 and he's still using a SD camera to record his opinions.

              I think anyone's opinion is significant if they make a good point (that includes yours).

              Also, he could have just claimed Trout was robbed but he did the decent thing and gave credit where it was due.

                Dwyer always had a hard on for counter- punchers, he's like Broner at a strip club, always gotta eat that coochie

                  Trout was robbed the judges had the fight won for Alvarez by round 8. The open scoring also affected the remaining rounds, Alvarez was taking no risks and Trout was taking more.

                    The open-scoring wasn't cool but we can only judge the fight as we saw it. Close fight, no robbery.

                    However, what is clear is Saul Alvarez is a lot better than most people felt he was (myself included).
