Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another deep dive into the world of boxing. Today, I’m gonna talk about that crazy fight between Canelo Alvarez and Austin Trout. Man, that was a wild one!
So, picture this: It’s April 20, 2013, and I’m all hyped up for this fight. I grabbed my notebook, a pen, and parked myself in front of the TV. I wanted to keep track of every punch, every move, just like I always do.
First off, I started by jotting down some basic info. You know, the date, the fighters, the location – Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. I even noted down that this was a light middleweight bout and Canelo was looking to avenge his brother’s loss to Trout. Gotta keep those details straight, right?
As the fight kicked off, I was glued to the screen. Round by round, I scribbled down my own scores and observations. Let me tell you, it was intense! Canelo was throwing some serious heat, and Trout was holding his own. I had them pretty close in the early rounds, but then Canelo started pulling ahead. It was clear that he was going for the kill, and I could see the determination in his eyes.
- Round 1: Close, both fighters feeling each other out.
- Round 2: Canelo started landing some body shots.
- Round 3: Trout’s getting tagged, but he’s not backing down.
- Round 7: Canelo landed a big knockdown!
I kept scribbling furiously, trying to capture every moment. By the end of the fight, my notebook was a mess of numbers and notes. When they announced Canelo as the winner by unanimous decision, I wasn’t surprised. I had him winning on my scorecard too, although not as wide as that one judge who had it 118-109 for Canelo. That was nuts!
My Final Scorecard
I tallied up my own scorecard and had it 115-112 for Canelo. It wasn’t a blowout, but he definitely deserved the win. He was the more aggressive fighter, and he landed the more impactful punches. I mean, the guy became the unified WBA and WBC junior middleweight champ that night!
After the fight, I spent some time comparing my notes with what others were saying online. I even stumbled upon some discussions about that crazy scorecard from judge Stanley Christodoulou. It just goes to show, everyone sees things a bit differently, right? But hey, that’s part of the fun of being a boxing fan.
Anyways, that’s my story of how I documented the Canelo vs. Trout fight. It was a night to remember, and I’m glad I got to share my experience with you all. Until next time, keep punching!
