Why did Trout look so terrible last night?

[techliam]

If that's Trout looking terrible, when he gave Canelo a tough fight (which split the entire boxing community as to who won), then i'd like to see him not looking terrible

Superb defense my ass.

Why you hating, Is it my Sig.?

Yes, Canelo showed great defense, tell me the last time you saw Trout miss that many punches? Sorry Cotto got his ass beat in NY in front of his fans and the same didn't happen to Canelo!

He won almost every round against Cotto, but none of them where dominant. Cotto looked featherfisted in the fight too. Canelo has at least more punching power and the rounds where similar to the Cotto fight, with the difference that Canelo is a bigger fighter than Cotto, and threw more effective punches.

lol same here

I made an ass out of myself telling some of my uncles that missed Trout vs Cotto that Austin Trout was a legit opponent and I thought Canelo would probably lose against him. And then Austin looked like absolute crap....

Sure, he showed a lot of heart getting up and not getting stopped, but I think that had more to do with Canelo being gassed. Trout didn't show much ambition. What the heck happened? Why did he look so terrible?

I don't think he saw the rigondo/donaire fight

Oh my god you mother***ers are just ******! The thread starter openly admits that he's a complete ****ing hypocrite who thought Trout was gonna win and instead of admit that he was wrong and give Canelo his credit what does he do? "Oh Trout isn't as good as I thought he was" lol! What a bunch of lame s hit! Not only does the thread starter try to save face but he also still wants to make excuses that Canelo is still overrated. *** off this thread is garbage and an exact example of lame ass boxing fans!

Never said Canelo was overrated, don't know where you got that from. And also, I've given Canelo his due credit, I just don't overrate him like others do here. Fighting for 30 seconds/rd ain't gonna cut it against Floyd. Also, he needs to hire a guy like Heredia and hook up with a better trainer.

There's a lot of undeveloped potential there and I feel that his current trainer is topped out. Canelo is becoming predictable and fighting in short spurts won't get him very far.

He didn't look terrible. He arguably won.

I'm with you.Everyone is acting like it was a blow out.It was a close loss for Trout.It could have been a draw.It could have been a close win for Trout.

Trout looked fine to me. I had him winning.

He looked better against Cotto because Cotto has no right hand. Canelo won the fight based on that alone. Trout definitely looks vulnerable to that punch.

This is a big point. The man is a southpaw, while he will always be troubling with his stance and skillset, he will always be troubled by guys with solid, well times, right hands.

i have no clue what you are talking about?

trout looked good, not great but he certainly proved himself to be a legit opponent. he barely lost to an excellent fighter.

canelo just fought a very good fight. his defense improved tremendously and he was using it to bait trout to be aggressive so that it would create counter punching opportunities.

but trout was too smart to over commit knowing alvarez has so much power and was looking for a KO punch all night. so trout made the right move and took some steam off his shots and focued on maintaining a busy workrate instead.

it won him plenty of rounds too. however alvarez' cleaner, harder shots were enough to win fight but very narrowly. trout fought one hell of a fight, alvarez just fought even better.
