FIGHT WAS REALLY CLOSE, I BELIEVE THE KNOCK DOWN WAS THE DIFFERENCE. CANELO LANDED THE BETTER CRISPIER PUNCHES BUT TROUT WAS DEFINITELY MORE ACTIVE. ALTHOUGH TROUT WAS JUST THROWING A LOT OF INEFFECTIVE JABS, HE WAS LOOKING TO MAKE THE FIGHT. ALL IN ALL RIGHT DECISION BUT SCORE CARD WHERE RIDICULOUS!!!

Both guys were overrated going into this fight. People were talking about Trout being slick and having good defense. Lmao. He just dances in the ring.

I thought the fight was closer than what the judges scored. Yea canelo won with those power punches. Trout has no punching power. If canelo was more consistent in attacking trout, the fight would have ended sooner. Eh...can't wait for next week sergio vs murry.

Angulo and Kirkland would have him doing the Harlem shake.

Ignorant of facts? I dont think you're looking at the facts. Trout threw over 300 more punches and landed only 30 more than Canelo! Activity does not equal effectiveness. And Canelo who is not known for his defense, made Trout look like he was fighting Mayweather out there. He fought with his hands down for most of the late rounds just begging to be hit and trout was punching air. Canelo was much more effective especially with the power punches. It was not a close fight.

A lot of the rounds that Trout won or appeared to have won were very close, it was almost like Canelo was taking vacation. But ipanything that's close, you can automatically assume Canelo wins. The rounds that Canelo really did try, he dominated.

Everybody was saying how Trout was going to outbox Canelo and school him in the ring. Canelo lands a significantly higher % of his punches, threw over 300 less punches than Trout, only landed 30 less, dodged 70% of Trout's punches, and people are saying it was a close fight or that Trout won? You replace Canelo's name wiith Mayweather and everybody is praising him right now. Canelo was enjoying the nice breeze from Trouts punches.

Canelo is not fighting Lara. Bet he fights Cotto next, his name still sells.
Just watched again, Paulie M was sucking off Trout the entire fight

I don't think he will ever face Chavez Jr. because Chavez Jr probably can't even make Middleweight for much longer.

Even the ones that did land did not even make Canelo flinch. The Cotto fight was not a good gauge of Trout's power.
Seriously. Impressive showing by him for me. I thought Trout had some underrated power but I was way off. I thought it was 8-4 or 7-5 Canelo.
BTW the first right hand Kirkland tastes from Alvarez, it's over. And he'll find the target much faster than Kirkland will.

Their rationale was that Trout had a real test in Cotto whereas Canelo did not.

I think the Next fight for Canelo is going to either be Cotto or The winner between Ishe Smith and Carlos Molina fight to unify the Belts. I See Molina Beating Ishe. If Canelo fights Cotto I see Cotto's corner throwing in the towel sometime in the middle rounds. Really looking forward to the Zab VS Garcia fight. I think Zab is going to stop Garcia.

I hate to say it but I think Ishe Smith squeezes out with the decision in that one. Simply because Carlos Molina is the easiest person to rob.

I personally had it 113-111 for Canelo.
Honestly I felt the seventh was the deciding round. Canelo caught Trout with a great straight right, and that was the shot that made the difference. Trout recovered well from that round, and would've won that round if not for the knockdown.
Canelo showed a ton of improvement though. Who would've seen that defensive effort coming? I didn't. His head movement was amazing. It can take him a long way.
He has to work on his conditioning though. It was evident he won the fight, but if he would've fought someone with some more power, he would've had some trouble.
What I'm saying is that Canelo took off a LOT of time in the middle of most rounds. He absolutely had the more effective and clean shots, but he would take so much time off.
I hope we get the luxury of watching CaneloJCC Jr. Or Canelo/Sergio. If JCC Jr. took Canelo seriously, I could see him pulling it off. Sergio would be a wildcard because he could have his night ended early with Canelos power, while Sergio would be the first guy with punching power to match Canelo's.
If Trout had the punching power of a Sergio that might've been a very different fight.
It's hard to gauge because when Canelo finally fought someone bigger and that was a good boxer, he FINALLY improved his defense. He had some lapses in there though, and that's what would worry me against someone like Sergio.
I'm excited for a future Canelo fight though. Good night
That scoring was terrible though. I hate open scoring. There's no intrigue.

EDIT: I knew 111-113 sounded off.
I had it 114-113. 6 to 6

Word on the street was that Canelo barely felt GGGs power in sparring. He must have quite a chin.
