Nice one Cant say I disagree with your view on the fight. It was a hard one to call. I went with Alvarez on aggression in the end but could see how people could go with Trout. When he got up and boxed well I thought Trout was going to win it. I really cant believe the South African gave it so wide,that was a disgrace and an insult to Austin Trout.

I agree with Johnny, Jack and dft

look at Trouts body language throughout the fight and afterwards, for all of his workrate he knows Canelo is slipping most of his shots at will and he cant do anything about it

I am rubbish at knowing how to post GIFs etc but this link is pretty good -http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2013/4/21/4247666/canelo-vs-trout-results-gifs-saul-canelo-alvarez-austin-trout-highlights-showtime-boxing

The GIF that shows Canelo teasing him and getting Trout to throw punch after punch that misses sums up Trouts work entirely.

Watched it earlier instead of the early hours, fan of neither, wanted to watch it wide awake. Had it 116-114 Trout.

But I guess the sport is all about opinions.

Apart from a few good rounds, Canelo didn't control the fight, even the round he scored the knockdown right at the start of the 7th, Trout came back in the round and did enough to win it. Canelo was throwing mostly single shots and making Trout miss as much as possible, however, Canelo was also on the backfoot.

Trout was missing a lot, but he was throwing a lot (more than Canelo) and dictating the fight for the most part. It's impossible to give Canelo rounds if he didnt do enough to win them clearly, a few successful punches in a round and to then sit of and let Trout control the tempo, you have to score them for Trout unless Trout missed 99% of his punches, but he never did, he landed some to, its just the difference in power and sting between both fighters was evident. Alvarez is so far ahead of Trout in that area. Trout never looked like being able to stop Alvarez, but Alvarez seemed more than capable of stopping Trout.

A few rounds I scored even, it was a close fight, for me Canelo's best round of the fight was the 11th. He made Trout miss and he connected with punches in that round more so than any other. Trout looked on unsteady legs a few times, but showed resilience to carry on and not change his gameplan.

Alvarez's power is tremendous, when he lands, it sends you to the other side of the ring. Stiff and crisp punches. But for me, he didnt land or throw enough of them to win the fight and certainly not as clearly as some of the judges. He made Trout miss, but Trout didnt stop trying, and he landed to the body a lot, and most importantly he did set the tempo.

Trout 116-114

As you've admitted, you incorrectly scored the KD round. You can't score it 9-9.

Correct score was 10-8 so even you have it as an even fight.
