Who saw Canelo vs. Trout, how decisive was it?

[-Kev-]

Anybody other than Canelo and people would have no problem with the decision.

Because it was Canelo, fighting in Texas and the scores were wider than expected, sone people like to act like it was a robbery.

The right man won, and he looked in control the whole time.

Some fans and a few writers were just a little bitter that this was the guy they were accusing Canelo of ducking and he handled him pretty well.

Trout's accuracy for that fight ****** ass. He hit a whole lot of air. Canelo was much more accurate and the better boxer.

was it close, was it the right decision?

Video showed trouts kids were crying during the fight. I think that should tell u someone was getting punched very hard.

was it close, was it the right decision?

canelo coasted the later rounds due to open scoring, that is what made the fight closer ... but the better man won, trout him self said that at the post fight interview... dont trust any of us, you can listen to austin trout him self here...

... didn't they score "openly" that fight? After 4 rounds, 8 rounds or something like that?

Great post...

8 rounds to 4, plus a knockdown.

Close but clear...if it wasn't Canelo, there would be no 'controversy'.

It was a fight in which Trout was trying to win purely on work rate. Canelo did all the clean work, was much better defensively and landed all the best punches.

I don't think work rate is enough when the other guy does all the better work.

Great post. Often, people hate on Canelo on here. People also don't know how to judge fights either. They think that defense, work rate, and movement equals control in the ring. This is not always the case. You have to show you want to win and let your hands go at the same time. Just last night I saw Degale lose to Medina, but was robbed. He out landed Degale. So, how did he lose on the cards? Smh. He won by at least 2 or 3 rounds. 112-116 or 113-115. Floyd has turned the sport into a joke and on May 2nd, it lost all of it's credibility in the eyes of the people.

It wasn't that clear, a lot of people had Trout winning:

I had Trout by 1pt, but Canelo clearly started coasting when the criminal open scores were announced after Rd 8

[bojangles1987]

This fight was ****ed when Alvarez was up 8-0 and 6-2 on two scorecards in a dead even fight. Complete bull****. It was a close fight either guy had an argument for winning, but those scorecards mean Trout had no chance no matter what.

Exactly. Where did these dudes learn to score fights. Clean punches, effective aggression, and volume of children's tears. It's not complicated.

PERSONAALY WHEN YOUN GO OUT YOR WAY TOOFOLLOW CANELO ON THE PODUM people are assupinf,heel bingit and he did for a whie but stoppdff and after canelo saw this he started going after thebody with no letting back and laras 4or5puncing combos started taking its toll toy couldve continued doing thesame but that mean his he wouldbe exposed top canelos body shots where appernta`lly they where šaffecting hims strongly you could see his face and body language hewas a in pain so his plan turned into survival mode.and after all he t alkled to hype thefighht but after 5th round he got into survivaland in the peoples eyes if you go into survivalmode epecially when you clearly said otherwise yournot goiong to get far in a big fight.he simply didnt dekiver

i had canelo by 2 pts being the nkockdown the difference the fight was a bit more tacticalthan i thought trout not known for his power became agressorhe landed more than canelo but with not much,pop canelo landed less with more pop he basically used this fight as a glorified sparring exam that got dangerouly cvlose foconfort because trout refused to stop punches at canelo that 4th round k.d.marked the difference in mny card canelo although tjhe fight was close and canelo took the fight to refine his defence asnd good head movement to avoid bombs but landed eough to pull in out canelo by 2pts he never looked like he tried for k.o.
