So when the man himself tells you Canelo was the better man and that he didn't do enough to win he's lying? And Canelo dominated with power punches, all the meaningful punches were landed by Canelo. The power shots broke Trout down and made him do the stanky leg and go down in the 7th. Buckled his knees with punches at least half a dozen times throughout the fight where as Trout NEVER hurt Canelo and the few shots he did land were soft jabs that did no damage. If not for open scoring telling the Canelo camp that he was way up he keeps his foot on the gas and tries to knockout trout in the latter rounds. Instead Canelo's camp told him you won the fight be smart. Trout threw exactly the same amount of punches he did in the Cotto fight. Yet he LANDED almost 100 fewer punches, at a significantly lower percentage actually missing 80% of the punches he threw. Canelo's defense and power counter punches confused and did Trout in. If you are were not the harder puncher then you need to land a hell of a lot more punches then Trout did and at a higher then 20% connect rate if you expect to win. He didn't do either.
And judging the fight per round is USELESS since the fight again was open scoring which completely influenced the fight especially the late rounds. And it's one of the biggest reasons why open scoring is so horrible because it robs fights of drama down the stretch because it turns into football where one team is up 3 TD's late and goes into prevent defense and is no longer playing the other team but is playing the clock. Open scoring made the final score card closer for me but Canelo won this fight convincingly and Trout should thank open scoring because he would of been KO'd if not for it.
