Love this fight. Lara deserves a title shot, dude has fought all the guys you don't want to fight and gotten none of the guys you want to fight. Winner should get their title shot immediately.
Part of that was Trout seeing how unfairly it was being scored. He didn't have a chance. Canelo was being groomed for the Floyd fight and the powers that be anointed him the winner before the fight.
He had a chance. And did nothing about it. The scores showed him he was behind. So there was uncertainty. He needed a knock out to win. And never went for it. That's his fault. No one else's.

I don't even wanna hear how Trout isn't a knock out puncher or anything like that. Pernell Whitaker was less of a knock out puncher than Trout. Didn't stop him from trying it (and getting it) in the 11th round against Diobleys Hurtado. He was losing the fight and that was what was needed to get the win. And he did it. Trout never even tried to do it
