Lara is not a classic boxer, he doesn't "construct" anything in the ring if that makes sense, he just waits for opportunities to throw his left hand. Effective but very limited.

"his footwork was beautiful to watch"
you are a complete blithering idiot.
i'm thinking about nominating you for a Darwin Award.

Lara was just moving around after the 4th round and not really throwing any punches in return. He would stop moving and then lay on the ropes looking like he was going to try and counter but he would let Canelo get off combinations and then he would just pivot out
I kept yelling at the TV why aren't you throwing punches back? you can't win rounds by just moving, I don't care if Canelo is missing 90% of his punches, at least he's throwing **** at you
Did you guys also notice that Lara did hardly any counter punching in this fight? Like, I can't even remember him landing a single counter except maybe counter jabs early in the fight
I picked Lara to win and I didn't see him win

Fight was a draw. I think his movement was fine, it was his lack of punching that was the problem. Chris Algieri used movement just as much but when you're not punching a whole lot you're gonna have a tough time winning rounds.

Ineffective outboxing on the part of Lara. Canelo had way more range. He was going to the body, pumping the jab, good stamina+pace, cutting off the ring and having Lara second guess his own counterpunching ability.
Lara was cringeworthy tonight. He didn't really produce much of anything. I don't understand how he "took Canelo to school" when he was hardly cranking out the big numbers that are usually the deciding factors in who commands the action. I hope he never fights on ppv again.
