Man, Trout won that fight clearly off of ring generalship. He out-boxed and out-worked Canelo for the majority of a lot rounds. I don't like to use the expose word a lot, but Canelo's stamina always been suspect and Trout really put it on full display during the fight. Canelo looked tired from all those body shots and looked just plain winded fighting in Berto type spurts for mad portions of a lot of the rounds. I couldn't see Canelo winning more than 4 or 5 rounds really.

With all that said, He's the biggest logical choice to face Floyd in Sept. The Manny fight is dead, Martinez is too big and realistically never had to happen, that really just leaves Canelo. Dude has a true following and sells tickets and has an exciting style. That fight can prolly do close to 2 mil ppv sales.

Garcia and his fukkery is prolly the 2nd most sellable fight after that tho. I wouldn't mind that fight, but he would really have to dominate Zab.

The fuuuuuuuuuck are you talking about? Trout won a few rounds but seriously, he won the fight?

I'll give you this: the fight should not have been unanimous but NO WAY was Trout winning this fight. He threw a lot of punches but a lot of them were just hitting nothing - Canelo was dodging punches even when he took rounds off.

Not once did Canelo look like he was in trouble. Not once did Canelo take big shots and get bullied around.

We'll just have to agree to disagree breh. Besides some big punches here an there, Canelo wasn't controlling the fight enough for me to say he won convincingly. Maybe a draw at best. Fight was competitive though. Trout pumped a steady jab, worked the body, countered, and landed big lefts. He was snapping Canelos head back with some shots. Canelo just happens to have a decent chin. Mad nikkas get out boxed all night without getting hurt, that don't mean they not getting out boxed.

Regardless it was a great fight and both dudes did their thing. I wouldn't mind a rematch though. The fight was entertaining enough to warrant one.

Alright, cool.

My biggest problem with the fight is the open scoring method used in Texas. If Canelo hadn't known he already won the fight by the 9th or 10th round, he would have come out for the kill. Basically this rule of being open with the scoring took out all the drama the fight had been building. I wish the fight was in Vegas.

 

[Suiken]

Damn, almost all of my bet lost.

This was a close fight and one that was hard to score but i think Canelo did enough to win. Trout acting like the loser takes away any chance of this being called controversial.

It was a Vegas style fight, but I don't mind it being in a place that can fit close to 40,000 fans to see it. nikkas saying boxing is dead, but you get big events like this.

I give Canelo props for getting his boss shyt on and making this its own main event. This was one of the rare anticipated big fights that actually lived up to its expectations. shyt was entertaining even though Canelo coasted at the end and the drama settled a bit.

Any link for the fight guys? I missed the live broadcast 'cause my connection sucks.

Yeah I didn't give Victor enough credit, didn't think he'd be able to win and Mijares just sits there too much

It was close, neither man overwhelmed the other, both are FOOD for Rigo

canelo gonna be a dangerous fight for floyd. but floyd better fight him now cause he's only gonna better...and bigger. dude is 22 and built like a truck. floyd can get hit with straight rights. and if canelo lands a shot like he landed on trout tonight...or like mosley landed on him. it could be enough to hurt him badly. and canelo is fast enough to beat floyd to the punch at times. I gotta see how floyd does vs guerrero. cause imo floyd at his best should dominate that fight. if he struggles at all, I would suggest he not even fight canelo. cause he gonna have to be at his best to win that fight. if he's not, the size difference and youth I think would be too much for him. and I think canelo will only improve from this fight. but I hope floyd does great...cause the atmosphere for a canelo fight would be insane. boxing needs another mega fight like this.

canelo aint ready for floyd but i agree that boxing does need this fight. honestly floyd would toy with him and frustrate him, he still has a lot to learn but the potential money would be hard for oscar and floyd to turn down
