Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs. Austin Trout - Saturday night fight/chat thread

[Violent Demise]

All Trout landed was the jab. And he missed more than he landed

To use your favorite phrase..... You don't know SHIT about boxing.

You were gonna bitch no matter what. Alvarez won. BTW nice showing by Cotto. It really does run in the family

Abner ain't shit. Doesn't change the fact you still don't know shit about boxing.

You think Trout won. Trout knows he lost. I rest my case.

He's in Texas and was booed from the get-go. What do you expect him to say? He DOES want to get home in one piece, you know.

So you saying Trout deserved the win?

Yes, VD. I'm saying Trout deserved the win. One knockdown does not decide a fight. Trout landed more and was busier. Canela had the flashier punches and scored the knockdown, yes. But Trout was going to lose the decision no matter what. The robbery was set up from the time the fight was moved to Texas and the fucking judges were picked. Open scoring should be abolished and the next person who proposes it should be lashed in the town square.

I do not agree ...In the fight i was watching Canelo was showing Great defensive skills ..when Trout had him against the ropes and threw busy flurries, Canelo blocked and dodged nearly all ....the only thing i could score trout on was the jabs

Finally someone who knows boxing

Canelo is showing better defense - he did slip a lot more punches than he has in the past.
