Yes the fight was close, I had it 115-113 Canelo, the rounds were very close, it could have been a draw, few could have had it as a close Trout win but at the end of the day the 22 year old Canelo beat a 27 year old in his prime slick undefeated southpaw who was coming off of a dominant win over Cotto. I watched the Cotto vs Trout fight and I had Trout winning 118-110. He completley demolished Cotto in a much more impressive fashion than Mayweather, yes people will say Cotto was shopworn etc but nontheless it was a great victory for him.
Canelo may have gassed a bit but he hardly got hit, he will have to throw more punches against Mayweather if he wants to get the win imo. But back to the performance against Trout, he showed some really impressive lateral and head movement, phenomenal at times, his punches were hard and accurate, every shot he hit Trout with that wasn't a jab looked like it took some gas out of Trout. The open scoring in my opinion ruined this fight, but to conclude my thread.... people basing Canelo's chances against Floyd based off of this fight should think twice because Trout is a lot better than people give him credit for, he's tall slick, young and has a great work rate. He would give Mayweather problems.
