    I don't actually see HOW Trout can fork out a decision against Canelo.

    In other news... - I am in a weird, reflective mood..I cba with fanboy-ism. I've been a fan of Oscar and Floyd, but would always try to defend them at every single mention of their names. I can't be bothered anymore lol Some people respect their favourite fighters so much that they seem like a fighter's little *****, glorifying another person way too much and glorifying their achievements SO much, when they are not even exerting the same energy into pursuits and glorifying their own achievements in their lives. It's not as if they're a family member i.e a son, either lol
    Anyone ever had this same feeling before? I LOL hard if this guy feels the same way one day:

    Who does the best in today's 154-160 divisions?

    Sumbu, McCallum, Nunn, or Tiger?

    Good, competitive fight. Canelo certainly looked the better fighter in there, but he's clearly just lackadaisical at times. He'll probably always give up rounds on volume alone when fighting other top guys. It's almost as if he really wants to be a Mayweather-esque mover & defender, even if he'd probably be overall more effective as a committed pressure fighter. Seemed a bit overconfident at times, too, but that stupid beyond stupid decision to tell the corners the scores after rounds probably had something to do with that. I became more of a fan of Trout as well. Good, brave fighter, seems a genuinely good person.


    Anyway, I'm fairly impressed with Canelo. Nice skills, physically strong, quick hands, good puncher, chin seems excellent, etc. All that and he's still just 22. *******'s only a year older than me. :-(

    Canelo just didn't work enough IMO.

    Canelo tightened everything up tonight, very surpsised. Won quite clearly IMO

    Yeah, he's pretty sound from a technical point of view.

    Heavy-handed, solid defense.

    I don't know about his chin though.

    Workrate is definitely his biggest weakness - makes weight-drained 140 pound Cotto look like Pryor.

    It's his first big fight and first step up in class - he's still a work in progress - so it will be interesting to see what he learned from Trout's fight.
