Smartest post i have seen today. I saw the fight drunk as ****, have to watch again and i will post my scorecard
Because he out box the guy that was supposed to school him and showed great defense. No body knew that he has that in him. That's why.
Its not hate, i swear some of you guys act like a 116-111 type fight was a masacre or a performance for the ages lol
Exactly. I had Canelo winning handily. A lot of the "punches" landed by Trout were glancing at best, or completely missed at worst. Commentary was biased in favor of Trout. Paulie and Al were Al over Trout, it was terrible. Trout won 3 rounds on card, 4 if i'm being generous. Canelo made it look easy.
Butthurt blacks are here ! You think it's OK to talk about trout beating cotto, rigo beating Donaire, but we shouldn't talk about canelo beating Trout? nobody is trying to exagerate , canelo is 22 yo ,he did beat trout and even managed to KD him .What rigo and trout has in common? They both were knocked down and hurt. I don't think rigo is relevant here, but you wanted to talk about him, so I'm talking about it.
For anyone who thinks this fight wasn't something special your are crazy. Trout came out expecting an entirely different fighter, a hard charging Canelo. He expected power shots one after another and expected to out box Canelo to victory. It didn't happen, what happened was Canelo came in and boxed used great defense adn was able to get the victory going against his normal way of fighting (this is special). Trout had to think on his feet and come up with a way to counter the new style in front of him he was not prepared for and he did (this is special) and he almost pulled it off. The whole fight was a game of distance and timing, both fighter working to control both areas. The ebb and flow in this fight was constant, because Canelo was not just moving backwards he was constantly try to get Trout to overcommit. Trout was trying to control the distance without overcommitting and both did a pretty special job of using feints and foot work to get what they wanted done. yeah neither one looked great because they were pretty evenly matched.
Trout won Rounds 1, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12 imo. If memory serves me rght. I seriously wanna rewatch tho. Everybody around me is telling me Canelo dominated. Maybe i was in the moment and saw what i wanted cause i was rooting for Austin. Plus i was drunk.
Nelo looked like a vulnerable fighter in there. Just like Khan has the worst chin for a high level fighter, Nelo has the worst stamina
