They give the scores out after four and eight rounds so after four rounds Trout knew he needed a KO. That changed the whole fight as Trout had to be more aggressive and take more risks. If they'd scored the fight honestly Alvarez would have been the guy who had to take risks from the fifth round onwards and Trout could have just sat back and countered him all night.
It was the WBA judge with the ridiculous scorecard as well.
