Comments Thread For: Trout vs. Dawson Early ESPN FNF Results

[bojangles1987]

Not sure why so many think it was a good fight. Dawson did nothing outside of the third round; it was generally like watching Trout work a heavy bag.

I also don't see how that was a good win for Trout. It would be one thing if he overcame adversity to beat a top fighter, but this is Daniel frickin Dawson we're talking about. That Trout had to overcome adversity is a sign that he didn't perform well, and he's looking increasingly shaky in my view.

Yeah, what's with these posts about the fight being good? Dawson threw maybe ten meaningful punches in the entire fight, and he dropped Trout with two of them. Not a good look for Trout.

Agreed. Trout being knocked down against Awesome Dawson is sad. And the fact he couldn't finish a D level fighter, who had a hurt leg is dbl sad.

Trout pulls his punches infuriatingly often. He never really commits. If he had, he would have gotten the stoppage.

Hey Teddy, why do you have to be such a fool? California has been in a 14 year drought, municipalities are turning the water off and you not only condone, but participate in that ****** water wasting, so called challenge. That's how ****** ideas get traction. Teddy, I'm going to water my lawn, wash my car, wash the dogs, rinse off the sidewalk challenge. Let me see you beat that. ******!

Then why dont you just move out of california you dumbass? 14 years? wow.

....Lara, Cotto and Canelo are just not that good. Canelo kills Cotto. Canelo NEVER fights GGG. Lara gets decapitated against GGG. Trout is done.

lets bet on the canelo cotto fight????????

I feel this fight did nothing for Trout, but ask more questions. He was in the ring with a 36 year old C level fighter at the end of his career and Dawson made it a fight. Trout's chin is looking more suspect with each fight. He never fully commits to any of his punches and when he does he gets caught. How would he fair against the top level guys in the division if he's struggling with over the hill C-level fighters?? For me this fight did nothing but make me thing he might be shot and nearing the end of his career. Even with one leg, Trout couldn't get the job done.

Lake Mead in Nevada is almost dry, most restraunts won't give you water to drink, lawns are getting ripped out and this guy is thowing water away, but I'm the dumbass? Now I know I'm dealing with idiots.

Yes but did you know that the solar flares where its highest in the past couple of years? That would result in the higher earth temperature that we have been having the past 6 or 7 years, also the massive amounts of forest fires as well. That led to the "global warming" bs that they also tried to tax people a "carbon tax" through al gore. **** happens. Some places, like east coast in the past week for example, has been getting TOO MUCH water from the constant rains. Get educated first before you start sounding like the idiot that we already see that you are. Its a BOXING website, not a "blog" about water. Douche.

OK, Trout looked good, one guy said he didn't commit on his punching. Looks to me like Trout was conserving his resources, he didn't waste his punches. He maintained his composure and didn't foolishly throw his chances away.

[Corelone]

I pologize, I saw red. Waste is inexcusable, especially in the ring. Wasted movement, wasted punches, wasted energy. All that will only get you KOd. I don't like waste, sorry.

Because he's slow and doesn't have good balance or defense. If he committed anymore he'd end up on the canvas.
