He deserves credit for winning, period, but that wasn't the "Lara" Angulo in there.
There is no such thing as "Lara" Angulo, only an overrated Lara people fail to see. Canelo mixed up his attack better, went to the body, can actually fight on the inside and didn't resort to solely putting up a high guard against the ropes. Lara can beat Canelo, no doubt about it but I don't rate Angulo at all. I'm a fan of Canelo too but I ain't no hypocrite, Angulo was a Lara creation.
Does Canelo's deserve any credit tonight after having cheated Angulo on the scales?
Thoughts...
Of course. He dominated every second of that fight and Angulo ultimately weighed more than him in the ring.
Do you honestly think Canelo coming in 1 pound lighter and Angulo coming in a 1/2 pound lighter would have made any difference?
Angulo had plenty of notice about the weight change and chose not to make the original weight himself. I would hardly call that getting cheated on the scales.
Angulo is a C level fighter and got beat like he should have by the better man. Deal with it.
Of course he does. Did you not see him conducting experiments in the middle of the ring like a mad chemist? I swear I saw vials with foam coming out of them at one point.
