This has probably already been discussed a ****load but to settle the score vote in the poll and explain who you think won and why. Personally i think lara beat canelo in a close ass fight and even if you had canelo winning no way was it 117-111.

Lara Vs. Canelo WHO WON?

I had it a draw and I was being generous to Canelo because I couldn't stand watching Lara run a marathon in that fight.
I think realistically it was 7-5 Lara.
I'm also glad Canelo got the W, regardless of if he deserved it. Fighters like Lara ruin the sport of boxing.

Canelo won because too many rounds where nothing happened...were because Lara flat out ran all night long. So when you have fights with such low output and it's really to blame because one guy is running from a fight you lose rounds. Most of the rounds had frigging single digit punches landed and Canelo was the one landing the harder power shots. Canelo coming forward landing harder shots and also busted up Lara's eye. Lara was already running but once he saw the blood from his eye he took running to another level. If you going to win with the style Lara was fighting you had better double up your opponent in punches landed. He needed to sit down and trade in spots instead he just ran and the few punches he landed were mostly slap punches and jabs because he was always backing up refusing to sit down on anything because he was afraid of getting knocked out by Canelo. Not enough to win a fight doing that. When the output numbers are so low for both fighters one big shot here and there is enough to win the round and that's what Canelo did.

Close fight but the right man won it. Lara was more on his bicycle than demonstrating quality ring generalship.

The fight was right there for Lara to take, but those offensive lapses torpedoed his chances with the judges.

I was there and I was caught in the emotion of the event and the crowd. Not the best way to score a fight, but this is how I felt. 8-4 Canelo.
Abel Sanchez, trainer of WBA 160-pound titleholder Gennady Golovkin
Alvarez, 115-113
I thought Lara gave the fight away. He could have out-boxed Canelo easily, but chose to use “that” Cuban style the American public dislikes. Also, Canelo did not appear to have much on his punches, slapped his body shots, but he still won a VERY close one.
