Canelo is a come forward fighter and people pay to see him because he brings KO power but knowing he was so far ahead he didn't even attempt to utilize it in the last few rounds because he knew the fight was in the bag.

Boxing is an entertainment business and for me open scoring has only had a negative affect on the entertainment factor of a fight.

Can someone give an example were open scoring has encouraged a boxer to turn the fight around?
Sam Peter stayed on his stool because he was getting his ass kicked.
Every pro sport is entertainment.
You weren't watching the same Canelo vs Trout fight I was, when Trout learned the official score his intensity jumped and if that fight had been 15 rounds I think he would have won.
Open scoring might be wrong for boxing, but I want to see it get a real trial.
