By sslg99: First of all, I would like to congratulate both Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1., 30 KO’s) and Austin Trout (26-1, 14 KO’s) for putting on a great fight last night at the Alamodome, in San Antonio, Texas. They both fought better than they ever had before and they both gave their opponent a lot of trouble. The fight could have gone either way. Personally I had it 114-113 for Austin Trout, But I would have completely understood a draw. I would even be fine with a 1-2 point lead for Alvarez. If the outcome of the fight was a draw I think both fighters would get more credit and there would be a larger clause for Alvarez – Trout 2, which is a fight I would love to see.
A close decision was not the case, the scoring was terrible. 118-109 (the outcome that the WBA judge had) was disgraceful. Bad judging is the reason why many casual boxing fans are straying from the sweet science and heading off to watch MMA.
By Dan Ambrose: If you want to pinpoint the real reason for WBA junior middleweight champion Austin Trout’s 12 round decision loss to WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez last night you only have to point to the World Boxing Council’s decision to have open scoring used for their fight at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. 
By Gerardo Granados: The young lion king WBC – WBA – Ring Magazine light middleweight champion Saul Canelo Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) clearly defeated WBA junior middleweight champion Austin Trout (26-1, 14 KO’s) but there seems to be controversy with the fight scoring once again. Were the rounds so competitive to have a hard time scoring them? Was the fight so close? Was the personal boxing taste a factor? Or is it that there are people having a hard time accepting that the kid is for real? 
By Mohammed Abulkhair: Saul “Canelo” Alvarez improved his record tonight to (42-0-1-31KO’S) by putting a masterful performance against the slick southpaw Austin “No Doubt” Trout. Canelo even though at the ripe age of 22 showed spectacular boxing skill and ring generalship. Many writers and critics believed that Canelo was a little over his head in taking this fight.

Perhaps Dan Ambrose and the usual suspects were disappointed to learn that they are neither prophets nor knowledgeable when it comes to boxing analysis. They predicted a lopsided Austin Trout victory. over WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, and of course, they were wrong. But that’s not the point. To make the point about them would amount to aggrandizing their acuteness., but in all fairness to the naysayers, claims that the judge’s scorecards were exaggerated are reasonable. The fight was indeed closer than the official scorecards let on. But the outcome was correct and we need not go further than the best judge of the match, Austin Trout, to validate that result.

(Photo credit: Tom Casino/SHOWTIME) By Albert Adame: WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0, 30 KO’s) and WBC junior middleweight champion Austin Trout (26-1, 14 KO’s) put on a great show tonight. Trout took Canelo to school early, and arguably throughout the fight. Canelo couldn’t find a way in, and simply could not adapt to Trout’s longer reach. Trout’s movement was slick, and his jab was even slicker. He fought a highly intelligent fight the way you would expect a boxer to do so. But of course, tonight was destined to end in some kind of controversy.

(Tom Casino/SHOWTIME) By Scott Gilfoid: I just saw tonight’s fight and I’ve got to say that WBA junior middleweight champion Austin Trout (26-1, 14 KO’s) got royally screwed over by the judges in Texas in losing a 12 round unanimous decision to WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) at the Alamodome in San Antonio. 
(Photo credit: Tom Casino/SHOWTIME) By Dan Ambrose: In a clear robbery, WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) defeated WBA junior middleweight champion Austin Trout (26-1, 14 KO’s) by a very controversial 12 round unanimous decision on Saturday night at the Alamodome, in San Antonio, Texas, USA. The final judges scores were 115-112, 116-111 and 118-109. The last scores were an absolute crime. I had Trout winning the fight 10 rounds to 2.
