Saul "Canelo" Alvarez vs. Austin Trout - Saturday night fight/chat thread

[TitoFan]

Other than the knockdown it wasn't even close! Everyone knew this would happen! Fucking robbery.... fuck boxing!

[hairymadness6]

I'd like to know if Canelo slowed down because the announced scores made him complacent or if his conditioning is a liability.

Money ruins so many things in this world. That fight was a hell of a lot closer than that.

I hate that open scoring crap. Now Howdy Doody doesn't have to fight as hard this last round.

I give no credit to Howdy Doody for this win.

He was a one handed fighter and was no where near a clear "win". Trout had a clean 5 rounds..at least!!!

118-109 should be smashed with a metal trashcan!? Criminal

[IamInuit]

118-109 Come the fuck on!!!!

[Kirkland Laing]

Nobody could have predicted this,

[TitoFan]

Fights held in Texas with biased judges... open scoring... corruption flowing freely. This shit reeks. No wonder so many people are turned off boxing.

Very close fight but trout was never winning this fight without a knockout

[Mars_ax]

I don't have a problem with the decision, throw rocks at me.

[TitoFan]

All Trout landed was the jab. And he missed more than he landed

To use your favorite phrase..... You don't know SHIT about boxing.

[CFH]

I don't have a problem with the decision, throw rocks at me.

The decision or the scores?

[Tam Seddon]

close fight, that final scorecard was a joke!

[Violent Demise]

How you gonna get knocked down and land nothing but a jab and think you won the fight? I swear muthafukkas just can't scored

[Spicoli]

118-109 Come the fuck on!!!!

That was horseshit, bullshit, and whatever field grazing shit they have in TX

[hairymadness6]

A Mexican who wins a world title with his elusiveness and no body punching. Now I've seen everything.

And to everybody bitching about the decision: I think the final punch statistics will show they both landed but Canelo landed the more meaningful punches. I don't like how he seemed to take the later rounds off DLH style. But I probably gave him the nod on the early rounds. I just don't see how you can give rounds to Trout if he never had his opponent in trouble at any point.
