    Even the rounds that Canelo took off were not exactly great rounds for Trout. I gave those rounds to him but it was because he was the only one doing anything, not because he was having any success.

    Not a hard fight to score.

    114-113 Canelo.

    Just watched the fight this morning and I thought Canelo won a close but clear decision. I had it 115-112. Trout threw loads but he wasn't landing anything meaningful.

    I was one of the many who before this fight was saying Trout would likely get robbed and Alvarez isn't all that.

    Watched the fight this morning, I haven't scored it but Alvarez clearly won in my opinion. Trout was definitely in it so I have no clue why one judge had 11 rds to 1 but still, even Trout isn't moaning. Alvarez took a major leap in my estimations with that. Well done to him.

    Didn't score it but my impression was that Canelo deserved a close verdict. His defence was very good but his activity is not great.

    I was impressed with Alvarez defensively,when he started boxing off the back foot and landing hard counters Trout never looked really comfortable forcing the fight IMO.

    Had Trout by a point.

    Other than the open scoring can't fathom the resignation by Trout after the bell. He, his team and the watson family should have been celebrating pre-results then going ape **** after those wide scores were read out.

    Very dodgy.
