    I watched the fight just a few hours ago and cant really recall Trout land anything significant in 12 rounds. Some measuring bodyshots, a few connected jabs. Alvarez blocked and slipped a lot of those too. Trout was pumping his jab a lot but was hitting nothing but air. And I guess to everyone's suprise Alvarez was quite comfortable on the ropes, dogding, slipping most of Trout's shots, even in the center of the ring. I think Saul did great against a fast, difficult southpaw.

    Dont get me wrong, Alvarez was also throwing a lot of looping shots that missed the target but he also caught Trout with some spectacular stuff, made his knees buckle.

    Just cant understand how anyone can score this fight for Austin Trout.

    A lot of pity pat jabs, which is why you can't recall anything meaningful.
     
  3. Some featherfisted jabs, but 99% were avoided through dodging by Alvarez!

    Yes I guess so. Trout kept Alvarez at bay with those jabs in the beginning where he won some rounds but once Alvarez turned it up and had him figured out, Trout couldn't land anything. Not on the ropes either which was quite impressive by Alvarez.

    Canelo seems to be the real deal afterall. I never understood why so many people criticize this kid, and apparently still do after he convincingly beat the undefeated Trout.

    You should never hate a fighter because of his fans.

    People seem to forget he's 22 years old.Lots of room from improvement.I liked what I seen from him although i believe he would of made a statement by stopping trout.Either way great work by the next cashcow.

    I think that Trout makes people look bad period. I don't see him getting another title shot.

    He landed nothing at all.The soulless ginger kid made him miss every single shot he threw and there was never a single point in the fight in which Trout's gloves made contact with pale boys body.


    I'm not one for hypebole, of course.

    He landed almost nothing, the only rounds that he won was only because Canelo wasn't throwing much, but when he actually threw punches, he was easily landing the clean solid shots.

    Trout definitely outlanded Alvarez. Most of his jabs were shorted though. He was more active. Trout's thing was that he didn't land much in terms of showing crips shots. Alvarez threw less, but did land some showy crisp shots in most rounds. Every shot that Alvarez landed was worth ten of what Trout landed to the judges. Alvarez' extremely low activity level, is what lost him most rounds as I scored it. Not saying that Trout was effectively aggresive. But at least he was trying to do something, while Alvarez did nothing for the majority of most rounds.

    Alvarez's performance was basically the equivalent of David Haye's performance against Valuev.

    I agree, I didn't see Trout land anything big. Canelo's head movement was awesome.
