A very nice duel between two fast and good technical boxers. Charlo was very composed and calm during the whole fight with a Trout much more active and mobile rotating around him and throwing good punches from very different angles. Trout was the only one trying to do some body work but with lack of effectiveness. Charlo was more effective on the attacks he carried out from time to time, but no many really, showing a lot of confidence and overwhelming Trout quite easily. Charlo gave me the impression to be a more solid and seasoned boxer than Trout. I believe this was the main reason for the judges to go for an unanimous decision since the fight was really close.
Yo, don’t spoil it for people on the first day it’s uploaded or at least give a SPOILER ALERT at the beginning. The entire planet thanks you!
Or you could refrain from reading the comments before watching the fight?…
Blind: The clue here is to proceed as Olivier recommended what is exactly what I do because I haven’t control is somebody decides to write before me. So watch the fight and read the comment/s after.
On the other hand, I take care in all my comments to avoid provide indications of who won the fight in the first phrase since it shows up in the recent comment column really spoiling the next guy going for watching the fight.
LOL, the comments section is made to discuss the results of the fight! Just don’t scroll down bro!
which pixel is Trout?
Charlo will not be as good at 160.
He is a big 154lber. Probably weighing in around Canelo weight. (175) Im 6′ and dont have his build and walk around at 185.
Was impressed with Trout.
Best he has looked in awhile. To bad he dosen’t have the power.
That’s why both those guys(charlo & canelo) are fighting in the 150s, they wouldn’t fair well right now at MW (160). We’ll see though they might be able to round out their games, especially charlo, cause they’re still young.
