It wasn't a robbery like Marquez vs. Pacquiao III, but I believe Trout beat Alvarez.

I had trout 4/1 up after 5 rounds Alvarez won round 6 and then evened things up with the knockdown in the 7th. From there on i thought it was a pretty even,trout didn't fold but he was getting hit more than in the early rounds. Alvarez was clearly the more aggressive and because his punches were landing unlike earlier when he was just eating jabs that is why i think the judges went with him.

I thought the win for Alvarez was fair enough as did trout but some of the official scores were way off,the south African in particular.Alvarez by 2 rounds for me .

 

oh by the way i do think the scoring was out of order, but alvarez controlled it clearly for me, ill quote what i said in the other thread

 

No way Trout won. Absolutely no way.

Powderpuff puncher who even when he did land didn't trouble Canelo at all.

Had Canelo up by 3.

 

I thought it was close but gave it to Alvarez, he landed the hurtful shots, and looked in complete control really. Trout danced around and landed some good combinations but very little he did bothered Alvarez and he missed an awful lot. I wouldn't have been disgusted if they scored it to trout but for me Alvarez won it. I tend to lean towards the cleaner harder shots and the guy that takes the fight to his opponent. In a closish round in terms of punches landed the guy coming forward forcing the action will get the round over the guy hoping to stay out of the way and nick the round throwing counters. I'm happy to score a round even if neither deserves it though. Some of judges scoring was laughable but I think the decision was right.

 

You had 4 level rounds?

Which rounds did you have level?

 

Then it would have been a 10-9 round to Alvarez.

 

Trouts workrate was higher but when all punches miss or just tap the other fighter and then that fighter lands two hurtfull eye catching punches in return ill always give that round to the latter. Its a fight. Your meant to hurt your opponent. Canelo won by four for me. His defence should be shown to young kids on how to slip , block and roll!! It was awsome.

 

I thought Trout handled the knockdown very well and was fairly effective in the round following it but still got to go 10/8 Alvarez. It was a close round apart from the knockdown but I always try score it one way or the other rather than give it even. Would have given it Alvarez 10/9 but only just without the knockdown so 10/8 with it. I think the fact he was far more aggressive won Alvarez the fight in the end as you are right in saying the rounds a lot of the time were very close. Depends which judges you get I suppose.

 

Trout was missing a huge amount and when he did land made very little impact. When Alvarez landed he really landed. Trout did well, but he lost on quality versus quantity.

 

I don't make up the rules
If you want to make it an even round just don't expect it to be taken seriously

 

12 rounds of fighting and Trout was unable to trouble Alvarez once. Tells you all you need to know.
