Fine, I am a fan of Trout, so maybe I was too liberal I'll admit but....

117-111 116-112 115-113 for Trout will do as well. But he won the match, there's no debating it.



And just to prove there's no bias here....

The fight was almost Garcia-Herrera like with Trout pecking away with nagging jabs, one twos, uppercuts and occasionally landing straight lefts outworking him for much of the round but doing little damage, and then Charlo lands 2 or 3 bombs most of which were partially blocked, due to the exemplary defense of Trout. I personally don't think 2 or 3 bombs erase an entire round of activity, especially when said bombs weren't all that devastating. The fight was scored based on anticipation of a KO that never came, and belief that it was only a matter of time before old shot to hell Trout folded, well that moment never came, people started realizing it halfway through, and scored the last half of the match for him. Its a pity they were so keyed up for the first 6 they didn't realized Trout was doing basically the same thing during them.

114-112 Trout

113-113 is fine as well, but in no way shape or form did Charlo deserve the win here.

People's preconceived notions that Trout is fragile, combined with their assumption that Charlo will eventually land the shot that puts Trout to sleep, combined with Trout fighting with a slightly defeated look on his face and hyper defensive and negative as hell, and quite frankly at times fighting scared, colors their perception of what's actually happening in the ring. Which is Charlo is looking mean and vicious, coming forward aggressively, yet he's still tentative as hell and barely letting his hands go, as he says, he's economical, yeah, far too economical. Meanwhile Trout while looking scared is slipping, rolling with and parrying almost everything Charlo is throwing and picking and pecking him apart throughout. CUt the bull****, the judges here judged based on appearances and ring generalship, because if they actually judged based on landed punches and defense, Trout takes this, and if you factor in the not one, but two bull**** calls from the normally decent Reiss, Trout takes this **** wide. Austin has got to be the unluckiest master boxer in the sport. He should have wins over Canelo and both Charlo sisters.

Its such a tragedy a guy can beat not one, but two brothers, who are considered to be killers and P4P material, and not get credit for either. This sport and its corrupt officiating is truly sickening.

Well even though its not official, Trout, you're a beast and you're the ****ing man. And you deserve full credit for beating both.

 

Neither have a snowballs chance in hell against The Superb One.

 

The One and Only Billy Joe Saunders 2.0. Hell 1.0 could too.

 

Nah, styles make fights, and Trout was rusty and coming off of a long layoff, not a great idea to face a relentless massive Super Middleweight volume punching pressure fighter after a year and a half off.

 

The Miracle Man might do a demolition job on them as well. While he may have a glassy jaw, the Charlo's tentativeness will be exponentially increased against Danny.
