Thread: just rewatched Trout vs Alvarez

Trout won that fight! It was a really good fight but from the 4th round I only had Alvarez winning about 2 rounds including the knockdown round and I had it even at the start of the 5th.

ALSO

open scoring is shit! Clearly doesnt make judges more honest either!
Mayweather will beat alvarez easily imo- if odds are even close il put in £100 that way even if he lost I would be happy as im not a floyd fan!

Why did trout even think he would get a fair shake - I would want the fight fair - and surely he knew it wouldnt be!?

I made a bet with my brother in law for this fight. Loser washes not only the winners car but his wife car as well. I had Trout. He backed Canelo. I so badly wanted Trout to win. Not only to win the bet but after being so under appreciated for so long I wanted it for Austin. I have watched the fight about 4 or 5 times. And as much as I try and convince myself that Trout won the fight, I know he didn't. Canelo proved his worth and deserved the win.

I was there live for that fight. I thought it was a really close fight a lot closer then what the scorecards showed. I was going for Trout but I think it could have gone either way.

Open scoring is a travesty and smoke in mirrors that ignores the real problem. Crappy unaccountable judges. I thought Alvarez edged it but I wasn't impressed with his 'new found backfoot' in the last few rounds. He tries to box Mayweather like that and Floyd will play connect the dots with his freckles.

What is open scoring

Have they not got rid of open scoring? Which is telling everyone at round 4 and 8 what score the judges have it.

Trout accounted himself very well in that fight, but I thought Canelo edged it by a couple of rounds. I can't recall my exact scoring though.

It was a close fight but Saul won and I think it will give him real confidence of beating Floyd.

I don't have a problem with open scoring. It lets the fighter know what he has to do. Trout knew he was behind going into the championship rounds. You would think he would press the action more and look to land power shots. Instead he just throws more jabs. And muthafukkas think deserved the win. Unfuckinbelievable
