im surprised trout is so downbeat in losing. I definietly dont think he lost in the manner he seems to think he did.

The right guy won, in my opinion but it was close1 or 2 rounds in it. Obviously the judges will go for Canelo big. Trout had to make a statement and though he made it close, to say he won by 4-5 rounds is pretty wide off the mark. He lost, not by much but he lost (As Trout basically said himself).

Floyd will box Canelo's balls off. And not have to worry about crooked judging.

Easy work for Canelo. He only got hit cuz he didn't even know he was getting hit. Trout is weak puncher.

Trout is classy. Very Ward-like.

"HE SHOCKED US" 'THE BETTER MAN WON"

that's from Trout.

either we have lots of Canelo haters, or people influenced by Showtime..

Ya i can see it but the fact is he did not land nothing!! He was active and won some round because of it but if I rewatch the fight i am pretty sure i ll got it for Canelo maybe easier than the first time but surely not for Trout. He DID NOT LAND NOTHING!!

I hope no one comes on the site and screams robbery. This fight was extremely close.

Sorry, Canelo showed some great defense, he was slipping stuff, i guarantee trout's camp didnt know he could.

He could have taken Trouts power, but he wasnt even letting Trout land.

I'm not sure. I think their grooming him to beat an old Mayweather in with the new and out with the old.

Agree. I was shocked Saul made Austin miss so much. Landing more punches to the air don't win rounds. Still a close fight, but I was more impressed with Saul's landed punches vs Austin's landed punches. Ultimately on my card the knockdown won the fight for Saul.

Alvarez's workrate was poor in that fight.

I think Alvarez is a good fighter but I was never completely sold on Trout. Even after he beat Cotto I still didnt think he was anything special.

i had canelo up 116-111 and i can't see all the scores for trout on here at all

That ain't happening. Saul is far too hated for that.

This is what so subjective about scoring there's ppl saying no way trout won and
there's saying trout outpointed him

You had it 115-114 (meaning you scored at least one even round) and you don't see how anyone could score it for Trout?

Likely 2 even rounds with the KD round mixed in.

I had it for Trout, 115-112...

Thought he controlled the fight for the most part and dictated how Canelo fought.... Outside of the KD Canelo landed hardest and cleanest when he was countering off the ropes with Trout trying to apply too much pressure, rest of the time Canelo looked kinda confusd on the outside winging wild right hands. Even when Canelo put him down and Trouts legs looked like rubber, Canelo didn't have the ability to step on it and put him away, and Trout came back and took round 8 straight after the KD. Usually when you see a clean knockdown in a close fight you'd expect to see a momentum change, but that just didn't happen.

Obviously closer than I thought since so many had it for Canelo and some had it wide for him, so I'll give it a rewatch tomorrow. Decent fight, shame Trout doesn't have more of a dig.

I don't see many people saying "no way". It was a close fight. Most of the scores listed are close.

It was definitely a close fight, 116-111 is off the mark though and 118-109 is f**king disgraceful. 115-112 is a bit easier to swallow, although it should've at the very least been a split decision in my view. Trout fought a good fight. It wasn't quite robbery, but it definitely felt like just as many expected, Trout wasn't walking away with a victory with anything less than a KO.

I had 115-112 Trout, I definitely thought he fought a good fight. There were several close rounds, the crowd was going absolutely nuts for everything Canelo did...I mean, it's not like we didn't see it coming even months ago.

Is it anymore clear than tonight that open scoring needs to get bombed by a terrorist?

It made both fighters fight like crap and hurt Trout more.

After checking my card I realized my score was 114-114 instead of 114-113 Trout like I originally posted.

what specifically did open scoring do to make them fight like crap
and what specifically do you mean by fighting like crap?
alvarez came forward and threw hard punches and landed lots of them.
he also deliberately moved his head on the inside and stepped away from lots
of trouts punches. i don't see that as fighting like crap. that is how they're supposed
to fight. trout missed a lot and threw meaningless jabs and occasional combo
that was blocked. very few meaningful scoring blows for trout. if he was able to
land clean hard shots he would have. he didn't because he couldn't.
open scoring had absolutely nothing to do with it. zero. if anything, it
would have lit a fire under trout to hit alvarez with meaningful punches.
open scoring had no effect on this fight at all until maybe the last round
when it looked to me alvarez thought he had it won, but still threw a few
hard parting shots.

Canelo throwing 6 punches per round 'cos he knew Christodoulou wouldn't score against him. Trout coming out during the middle rounds to the end with a dejected look on his face, knowing he's getting the shaft in broad daylight and being unable to do anything about it. Not sure Trout would've done any better without open scoring but the dynamics might've been different. I've been a backer of Canelo all along, he's a good fighter, you can easily see it, but if his punch output doesn't improve, he's only going to be exciting to Golden Boy and hispanic fans - that fight just wasn't worth watching.
