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

[thuggery]

I didn't even see Canelo fighting Trout that night. I swear I was watching prime Sweet Pea against Trout. Canelito took Trout back to school, end of story.

You're absolutely right about that. Though this majority sentiment was largely swimming under the radar, therefore hard to pinpoint. There weren't explosions of threads being made saying this. Just an array of low-profile posts in other threads, saying that Canelo won't even get to Floyd because Trout will hand him his ass.

It didn't happen. Not only did Canelo win that fight but he didn't do it in some stereotypical fashion by being the come-forward aggressor and out-muscling Trout, he actually beat Trout in his own game, displaying defense and safety first boxing.

Exactly. If you weren't impressed with the way Canelo beat him, then you're an outright hater. Plain and simple.

And the post above you is yet another person saying "everyone thought Trout was going to win."

You gotta love it. Hahahahhaha

He actually landed around 20% more or less and Canelo didn't do much better. Trout visibly out-threw and out-landed Canelo by a wide margin. The open scoring forced Trout into an aggressive style after the open scoring after the fourth round inexplicably had him 4-0 down on two cards (3-1 on the other). A more aggressive style led to the knockdown in the 6th round. In the end it was a very close fight and certainly nothing close to the dominant win some Mexican (and Floyd fans) would have us believe. I actually scored it 114-113 for Trout while scoring it live. I scored it the same on my second viewing with several close rounds.

The knock down occurred right at the beginning of the round, Trout stood within a safe distance, he wasn't being aggressive. Out landed by a wide margin? I'm sorry but there is absolutely no way that happened. Again, there was no substance in Trout's work, while Canelo may have thrown few he at the very least kept a consistent defense.

Yes, Trout out-landed Canelo by a wide margin, that is not to say Canelo didn't land at a higher percentage. You have to keep in mind Trout was averaging nearly twice as many punches thrown per round than Canelo. Canelo landed the cleaner shots but Trout clearly landed more punches than Canelo by a wide margin. If you don't believe it that's your problem.

Who are you kidding? Damn near everyone was picking Trout to win. Only the die hard Canelo fans were picking him. Most non partisan posters were saying Trout.

My pick was Canelo in UD 12 in very good fight. Trout is no joke. All the Canelo-haters need to relax and appreciate just how good this kid really is. Trout is 3rd best 154 lber in the world by far.

Did you all see the Cotto and Canelo fights ?

I would love to see Trout man-handle Lara.Write it down,Trout easily whoops Lara.

Austin is an excellent fighter and even he said that he lost.

Trout would not 'easily whoop' Lara, Erislandy is a faster, stronger, more technical version of Trout. Lara has a better jab, much stronger overhand left, is a lot faster on his feet, and he is also much more technically sound w/a highly reputed amateur career. Trout's only advantages would lie in size and output. Lara would beat him to the punch and win a clear decision though it would definitely be competitive.

That's his personality, he's never one to complain or make excuses. I'm just telling you how I scored the fight, and what I saw was a highly competitive fight with many close rounds. You can agree or disagree with my opinion, but that is how I saw the fight.
