I could've sworn Trout was supposed to school Canelo.

90% o fthe posters were expecting trout to school canelo, and after the ifght this is why we still have some bitter ones that think trout deserved to win

That's not what the poll on this site said.

Canelo wins, and outboxes Trout, now all of a sudden the Trout fight doesn't mean nothing, and he's a bum?

although I thought the ginger did win, it wasn't a dominating performance... cause the ginger gassed big time.

even tho the ginger won, we all learned that his stamina and endurance is garbage.

a prime margarito would beat up and probably stop the ginger.

While I had Canelo as a slight favorite going into that fight, I knew that BOTH fighters had lots of questions that needed to be answered.

Canelo won a close fight. The open scoring didn't help Trout. Once he knew that he was losing badly on the score cards, he fought more aggressively than he had planned for.

After that fight, it didn't have me saying that Canelo is ready for Floyd and that is the bottom line. Canelo needed to fix his issues and gain some more experience.

Just rewatched this fight and nobody got schooled. But from what I saw Canelo does not have what it takes to beat Mayweather unless his footwork is massively improved. Looked into my crystal ball and I saw him getting potshotted over 12 by Mayweather.

He hurts Mayweather and it gets nasty

trout isn't anything special. he's a decent yet equally flawed fighter who was overrated as **** around here after the cotto victory. it was a good step up fight for alvarez, meaning that for the first time, ever, he was finally fighting a real junior middleweight. neither fighter looked spectactical in that fight and many even say alvarez lost it.

Trout fought like a pu$$y against Canelo to be honest. He was very tentative and slapped a lot. If not for the knockdown I had trout potentially winning the fight btw due to Canelo's inactivity. Boring fight but the ginger deserves credit for the victory.

Trout got over rated on here for some reason after the Cotto fight,before that fight no 1 and i repeat no 1 ever talked about him or mentioned him.The Canelo fight was good and a very close fight but i told everyone before the fight Canelo would win..now the same people who were calling Canelo green and a hype job before that fight are saying he will ko Floyd..thats how things work on here

Larry pick a White fighter? Now there is a LAUGH!

He beat Trout. There's almost no way you can score that fight for Trout, unless you score for missed jabs.

The open scoring clearly affected the fight, there is no way Canelo won the first 4 rounds in a row and, if i remember, 6 out of 8 on 2 scorecards. But regardless:

Official Scores...

Unanimous for Alvarez - 118-109 (Stanley Christodoulou), 116-111 (Oren Shellenberger -gave most of the late rounds to Trout) and 115-112 (Rey Danseco).

Showtime Scores...
114-114 (Bernstein), 114-113 Alvarez (Farhood) and 115-114 Alvarez (Malignaggi).

Other notable scores (I only list the ones in Trout's favor, but the split was almost 50-50)

Cliff Rold (Boxing Scene): 116-111 Trout

Brian Campbell (ESPN): 115-112 Trout

Ryan Maquinana (Boxing Scene): 114-113 Trout

Steve Lillis (BoxNation): 115-114 Trout

Raymond Markarian (The Sweet Science): 115-112 Trout

Stephen Smith (British fighter): 115-114 Trout


That's to say, it was a close fight, not a one sided beating as some want to believe.

Biggest misconception going into the fight was people think because Trout was black he would outslick Canelo because he's Mexican. When in fact Canelo is and was more athletic than Trout. I had Canelo winning 114-113 because of the KD.
