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

    Furthermore the only people who'll now say Trout is/was a bum are Floyd supporters who don't care to hear anything about anyone having any skill not named Floyd. Therefore anyone else who points out the fact that Canelo just beat a very good boxing southpaw, immediately gets criticized and Floyd fans claim however untrue that Canelo just beat a bum.

    Make no mistake, it's the Floyd fan who must now call Trout a bum to discredit Canelo's win.
    The fact of the matter is, Trout was overrated, there was even a poll where the majority favored him to beat Floyd. Trout, like Lara is an overrated fighter, good nonetheless but was rated too highly. Look at Trout's punching technique, he doesn't step in, doesn't commit, punches from too out of range but no one wants to talk about him as a fighter. When it comes to the martial arts of boxing, people don't want to see fighters for what they are. We saw it against Canelo, Trout may have been effective somewhat but he's a master of no substance, nothing he did stood out to me.

      Yea i remember posters claiming somehow Floyd was ducking Trout and that Trout beats everyone at 154,even tho outside of Cotto who just lost he hadn't beaten anyone at 154 period

            Trout won?!?....against who?....the air?....he did beat the air the **** up but he was supposed to give that ass whooping to Trout....not the air....smh

            I had Trout and I was definitely surprised and impressed with how the kid handled Trout....he was slipping and ripping off the harder clearer shots imo......the kid did his thing that night....Trout is far from a bum.....dude got skills and Nelo made him look like a novice at times imho

              Trout fought like a damn amateur with him spamming meaningless jabs. Disappointed in Trout's performance.

                If there was ever a way to win the biggest fight of your career and STILL not look very impressive, Canelo did it. I scored that fight for Trout first time I watched BTW, close fight, Canelo wining 10 rounds on Christodoulou's card was disgraceful.

                  Trout to me fought like a mentally stronger version of zab judah that night. He threw punches with no intent or reason. Its as if he did stuff just to look busy or to look flashy. His ring IQ was also very poor.

                      There was a KD. That means you scored it for Canelo, unless you had even rounds.
