    Austin Trout...

    What did you guys think? Offensively he looked better but man, did Canelo/Lara take something out if him?

    The left hand was crisp, he set it up, but damn his punch resistance is in the basement. Maybe ring rust?

    FFS I like Trout too

    Bloated Cotto hurt him with a right hand, he's never had great punch resistance.

      He was never that good and got overhyped for beating Cotto

          Canelo ruined him. Lara and Angulo will look the same in their next fights.

            That's what I was thinking last night also.

              Might be a combination of ring rust/nervousness coming off 2 fight losing streak his defense was definately lacking but I think he'll adjust get back to the trout we seen vs cotto

                  Never fought much of him & feel he gets overrated because he was wrong for Cotto stylistically and absolutely dwarfed him. Lets be honest it was like a damn SMW/LHW in there against a LM
                  He has some of the worst punching technique I've seen from any world class fighter.
                  Arm puncher, telegraphs shots, pulls shots, just horrible its as if the guy is just terrified of committing to a punch.

                  No killer instinct what so ever & needs a new trainer as whoever he is with ain't doing **** to improve him as a fighter.

                  He is another I'd class as a very good athlete but not a very good boxer/fighter.

                    Styles make fights. He's a matchup problem for Cotto. He fought well against Canelo too. Combination of ring rust and reaching in got him clipped. He'll be fine.

                    I hate how people try to forget the Canelo fight like it was a 1 sided domination. That fight could have gone either way.
