I don't like it nor do I dislike it. It doesn't really matter to me. But I will say this. Open scoring is a good indicator to find out which fighters are truly great, complete fighters. As well as which really want it. Case in point. The Alvarez-Trout fight. Lot of people complained that open scoring ruined the fight and also cost Trout the fight. There's no way around it. Them people are fucking idiots. Open scoring didn't cost Trout the fight. The better fighter Alvarez cost Trout the fight. Trout is a good fighter. But he's a one-dimensional fighter. He knew he was behind after the 8th. That gave him 4 rounds to try and go for the win. And he didn't. He increased his output a little. But at no time did he really seem to be going for the knock out. He accepted his loss. Open scoring gave him a chance. It gave him 4 rounds to prove his greatness. And he didn't. People claiming Alvarez coasted at the end are just fucking clueless. If he would of coasted than he would of most likely lost the last 4 rounds. Which he did not. Trout just never went for it

Yes I know some of the predictable, less knowledgeable posters will counter with knocking out fighters isn't Trout style and he shouldn't be expected to do so. I say shut the fuck up and go learn some boxing. Pernell Whitaker possessed even less knock out power than Austin Trout. And knocking out people was diffidently not his style. That sure as hell didn't stop him from almost killing Diobleys Hurtado when he saw the fight and a huge payday against De La Hoya slipping away did it? No it did not. He scored the knock out cuz that's what great fighters do.
