Canelo vs Trout Scorecard: Who Won that Big Fight?
Alright, so y’all wanna know about that Canelo and Trout fight, huh? It was a real dust-up, let me tell ya. Two fellas, both thinkin’ they’re the best, beatin’ the tar outta each other.
Canelo Alvarez, that Mexican fella, he’s tough as nails. And then you got Austin Trout, another strong one. They went at it, twelve rounds, no less! Imagine that, twelve rounds of punchin’ and dodgin’. My ol’ bones woulda been achin’ somethin’ fierce after just one!
This wasn’t no easy win for nobody. These boys, they were both undefeated, see? Champions, they called ’em. So, you knew it was gonna be a good one. People were yellin’ and hollerin’, the place was packed like sardines in a can. I tell ya, it was somethin’ to see.
The Fight: Blow by Blow, Kinda
Now, I ain’t no fancy boxing expert, but I can tell ya what I saw. Canelo, he was throwin’ them power punches, the kind that make ya see stars. Trout, he was slick, movin’ around, tryin’ to outbox Canelo. It was like a dance, a real rough and tumble dance.
- Round one, they’re feelin’ each other out, you know? Tappin’ and jabbin’.
- Round two, things start heatin’ up. Canelo lands a good one, Trout shakes it off.
- Rounds three, four, five… it’s back and forth. Canelo’s stronger, but Trout’s faster.
- Then, they showed them scorecards, in the middle of the fight. Round four and eight, I think. Just to keep folks on the edge of their seats, I guess.
- More rounds, more punchin’. These fellas, they don’t quit, that’s for sure.
- By the end, they were both lookin’ pretty beat up, but still standin’. That’s what makes a real champion, ain’t it?
The Scorecard: Who Got the Nod?
Alright, so here’s the part everyone wants to know. The judges, they had to decide who won. And it wasn’t easy, let me tell ya. It was a close fight, real close. Coulda gone either way, some folks said. But in the end, they gave it to Canelo.
Unanimous decision, they called it. That means all the judges saw it the same way. Here’s what them numbers looked like:
- One judge had it 115 to 112.
- Another one, 116 to 111.
- And the last fella, he had it 118 to 109. That’s a pretty big difference, if you ask me.
So, Canelo won, see? He got them belts, the WBA and WBC junior middleweight champion titles, or somethin’ like that. Fancy names for shiny belts, if you ask me. But them belts mean you’re the best, at least for a while. Trout, he fought hard, but it just wasn’t his night.
After the Fight: What Then?
After that fight, Canelo went on to have more fights. He fought that Mayweather fella, and lost. Said it was his toughest fight, that one. Can’t win ’em all, I guess. He also fought some other fella, Bivol, I think his name was. Lost that one too. But hey, even the best lose sometimes. Makes ’em human, you know? They’re tough fellas to make it that far!
And Trout? Well, he kept fightin’ too, I reckon. Boxin’, it’s a tough business. You win some, you lose some. But these fellas, they put on a good show for us, that’s for sure.
Folks paid good money to see that Canelo versus Trout fight. Millions of dollars, they say. Can you imagine? All that money for punchin’ each other! Makes my head spin. But hey, that’s the fight game for ya. Big money, big risks, and big excitement.
So, there you have it. That’s the story of the Canelo versus Trout fight, as best as I can tell ya. It was a good one, a real nail-biter. And at the end of the day, Canelo, he was the one who got his hand raised. But both them boys, they fought like champions, that’s for sure.
