Good close fight between 2 young bucks, Canelo is the man at 154 and he'll be facing Cotto next

Floyd's not fighting Canelo unless it's at 147, Trout lost because he didn't connect with combos and he got dropped

The atmosphere was :whoo: and :salute: to both of the fighters for putting on a great show.

Canelo aint fighting Floyd next, he didnt sound confident in wanting Mayweather when they asked him he said maybe, Canelo is fighting Cotto in september

:rudy: like Floyd is really going to want to fight a young, confident undefeated Jr. Middleweight. GB is doing an excellent t job of teaching canelo how to secure the fight. Or do you really think if Saul came out with, "Floyd you're next", Floyd would be itching to line up? Hell no.

Canelo is a JWW but hydrates well. He'll walk through anything Floyd threw.

its sad to see how trout accepted this bullshyt, he coulda done a malignaggi vs diaz and created controversy

but this is going to continue forever and no one will say anything



does it matter when the outcome was predetermined? i had it even going into the meaningless last round

without the open scoring trout wouldnt be so dejected.

Well maybe trout just felt he lost. If were being honest canelo landed all of the significant punches. Trout threw more but damn near nothing landed clean. Neither fighter put on a great performance but trout was the only fighter hurt in the fight. Controlling the pace means something if your actually landing good shots. And trout wasn't. 115-113 was a perfect score for canelo. After the bell rung you could see on trouts face he knew he lost. Dude did not come through like his supporters thought he would. Canelo wasn't the greatest either but that knockdown gave him just enough for the win.

Honestly aside from the Kd, Cotto was far more impressive with dealing with Trout's p*ssy ass ugly mauling type of style he uses, and won more rounds

The right man won...

I had it 114-113, the difference being the KD...

I don't know WTF those judges were watching but Canelo was far too inactive to have won more than 7 rounds...Yes he landed the hard cleaner punches but he spent more time bobbing and weaving than letting his hands....Trout was boxing well, jabbing and pot shotting but son landed nothing significant and his flurries was some of the weakest shyt I ever seen...He could have easily won some of these rounds if he wasn't so god damn scared to follow through and put some power behind his punches...

Anyways something seriously needs to be done about that fat fakkit Stanley Christodoulou...Those cards were disgraceful but his was on some other shyt...I am tired of seeing that corrupt mothafukka in major fights...His card is always suspect...

Trout's punches didn't hurt Canelo. Even the showtime announcers had it for Canelo because he landed the bigger shots but they had the score much closer which it should have been.

that kd created artificial anxiety for the rest of that fight that made canelo's work look more than what it really was. canelo landed a couple big shots but most of his punches were not hurting trout. the same exact statement can be mad for trout, except he also threw more

good point bruh i noticed that too...thats a 20lb weight advangtage:ohhh:

can floyd still move and keep canelo off of him at this point in his career is the question...interesting fight

i think floyd could just outbox him, but canelo got power and that weight advantage. canelo probably would get tired late and floyd would just decision him. i think it would be a good fight though- it prob would play out like the floyd/cotto fight minus floyd going to the ropes- canelo would have a few good rounds in the middle of the fight.
