I can see the draw if I tried hard enough. But that's besides the point. I just don't understand how some people say that knowing the scores some how hurt Trout. How? If anything they should of helped him. The scores showed him exactly what he needed to do to win. The fact that he didn't do it isn't the problem. That's understandable. The problem is he never even tried
Open scoring gets one boxer super defensive if he's ahead and forces the other to become more aggressive than he normally is. It is an unfair advantage especially considering how wide open some of the scores were. Also considering Trout is more of a boxer and..well lets just say it really did have a big effect on the outcome of the fight.
