Trout has slipped enough where the better guys beat him and if he doesn't want to continue will end up being a gatekeeper but Fernando Villarreal scored the fight a draw the state of California needs to give this guy some time off..

Wrong twin. Do some research before embarrassing yourself next time.

Trout's footwork gave Mell more work to do to try to catch him. Mell should of thrown more left hooks, it was there....still a good win for Mell.

Charlo is so overrated

Nah, he's rated.

Perfect example of being too in love with your power. Way too much lunging & smothering himself by Charlo. 421 punches thrown in the entire fight by Mell even though he knew was going against a slick tactician with no power. Not setting up his shots & resulted to blitz mode many times. Good thing Trout is well past his prime, legs are gone. Good head movement but he missed a golden opportunity. If he'd have thrown some more combinations, were many rounds up for grabs. 1st knockdown wasn't legit, 2nd was clean though even if behind the head, Trout turned.

Mell going to have problems against any fighter with a jab that can take his punch & throws just a bit more. Not impressed, but that's what Trout has always done so I'll give him a pass...for now. Hurd & Munguia come forward so they'd be much more entertaining & may just give him the opportunities he needs. No way that Charlo tonight beats Lara though.

Mell only needed to throw more left hooks. That was all. It was a good win against a good boxer.

I don't see Charlo causing problems to GGG. Many are saying that GGG is not fighting the best of the division. Well, I give no chance to the twins against GGG.

Hopefully Nelo doesn't fight him so Mall can fight him.

Trout ran against Hurd in the first 6 nut Hurd cutt off the ring on him and forced Trout to fight his fight, so why Can't Charlo do the way Hurd did?

Cuz Mell is a boxer first. Hurd just walked forward & walked Trout down.

Why was this fight even made. Trout is PBC new Robert Guerrero. Come on PBC.

Two good fighters & a good win for Jermell. PBC has the best quality in the game.

I was expecting more from Charlo but I agree that Trout doesn't get enough credit. He's a slick boxer and made Charlo look average TBH. Shame Trout's conditioning wasn't that great.

If Trout wasn't conditioned I don't think he would of lasted. The left hook was there Mell just didn't capitalize on it but Mell showed good patience.
