Just Rewatched Some Of Angulo vs Lara

DLT12y ago

can someone please explain to me how Canelo-Angulo is fixed? That is the same exact guy in the Lara fight. Just watch the first round. People saying where is his power? He was hitting Lara with the same type of punches. It was just magnified because Canelo was throwing back with so much force and Canelo was putting him on the backfoot instead of Angulo putting Lara on it. The Canelo fight was over from the very 1st punch. You could tell that Angulo thought he would be the stroner fighter and the harder puncher. Canelo landed that 1st blow and it was a total shock to his system. He thought Canelo would be running from him. It was similar to Broner-Maidana. Just a shock to the system. Those first 30 seconds sapped him of his strength. People act like punches dont effect you. He was stunned & dazed. It weakened him. Still, it isnt much different then how he looked vs Lara. Just the opponent was totally differet and a totally different style. Just watch the 1st round of each fight or even just the first 30 seconds of the Canelo fight. Also tell me that Angulo was punching much harder against Lara. He wasnt and he didnt have that heavy artillary coming back at him. Canelo's body is also much thicker than Lara's so those shots wont effect him the same

Many people said in the RbR thread that Angulo looked off in the ring walk. Personally, I didn't see it, but damn near half the thread said it. its just a trick crutch. If he wins then they talk ish about how Canelo is overrated garbage and if he loses then they can say he looked out of it. They try to cover their ass both ways

Angulo has the Homer Simpson philosophy to boxing. I think his plan all along was to weather the early storm then come on strong towrds the last half of the fight amd get the late stoppage.

Look at Canelo's defense. He has arms tight around his head and ribs. Any punches you try to throw at that guard will look weak. It takes a lot of energy out of punches when they are repeatedly blocked like that and the guy covering up is faster and more powerful and hits you at will because you have no defense. I can't believe how stupid people are. Kev seriously stop wasting your time. Every fight is some kinda controversy around here. Sensationalist females who don't understand wtf they are watching.

He gave Lara far more pressure, threw far more punches, and effectively started cutting off the ring from round 1. Because Lara was backing up, he's a counterpuncher. Canelo was coming forward being first to throw. Come guys, seriously? :lol1:

he wasnt doing thaat to Canelo because he got caught with massive shots right from the jump. How can you not see that? Against Lara he was the big menacing stalker but Canelo reversed those roles right from the jump. You think those shots were nothing? These kids are Cuban dog, they will lie through their teeth to discredit Canelo. I stopped arguing with them...they wouldn't know a great performance from their *******. They still think being dropped twice, and gouging an eye and being down on certain score cards is an phenomenal performance. Dot try to reason with them.

There's a lot of retards in this place who have likely never stepped in the ring. You try coming forward and being aggressive when you are up against a: Bigger Stronger, Quicker Younger and more skilled man who is hitting you in the face. Go on ... just try it f*cking keyboard retards :lol1:

clearly OP is blind..........angulo was literally just tapping canelo......against lara, he was being more active, stalking, cutting off the ring and throwing with mean intentions.... he wasnt doing thaat to Canelo because he got caught with massive shots right from the jump.

There was one distinct difference between the fights Lara gives up too much ground and allows guys to gain momentum , Canelo meet him , stopped him in his tracks with meaningful power shots

Angulo looked like a dead man walking even during his ringwalk just about everyone sensed something was off. He had no bounce in his step, it was a hugely lethargic performance & everything he threw against Canelo was pulled or slow ass arm-punches though he is an arm-puncher for most part anyway he committed to nothing against Canelo. He looked old/drained. Canelo looked great but to me it was crystal clear, that Angulo looked like a shot fighter. He didn't look against Silva either but still something was off in this fight. That was exactly what he looked like against Silva.

canelo didnt stand on the ropes and let perro tee off being on the ropes is why lara got dropped in the first place canelo also threw combinations to keep perro off him, while lara just did pot shots and scarce 1-2s but compare the speeds, of perro, its basically the same slow, plodding fighter.

Those early body shots from Canelo took a lot out of Angulo. When has he ever faced a fighter like Canelo (speed, power and combination punching). Plus Canelo was his size and not afraid to exchange. Canelo gained Angulo's respect right away. Even Jorge Silva brought it to Angulo early in their fight but he was much smaller and didn't have enough power. Lara was picking Angulo apart on the outside but he is clearly lacking an inside game. Lara was supposed to make Angulo pay when he got inside. Also, Lara never really worked Angulo's body. Angulo's confidence grew as the fight progressed. Canelo never let him gain momentum. How about Angulo/Trout next? That's an intriguing matchup.

And Lara only threw 2 body shots, while Canelo punished Angulo to the body

Are you ****ting me, OP? Look at the hooks to the body and uppercuts in the 1st round in the Canelo fight compared to the Lara fight. Night and day.

LOL. You taking these comments too serious. Styles make fights. Canelo has a much more versatile offensive attack than Lara and was the physically bigger and stronger fighter last night. You just can't compare the two. Just like Lara beat Trout more convincingly because he was allowed to sit back, box and get comfortable.

i dunno where ppl get this idea of angulo being an exceptional fighter. he has never been. hes always been slow, easy to hit with punches that u can see a mile away. i rememeber a few months back someone telling me he would give floyd trouble. thats whats wrong with this site. ppl base everything they know about a fighter on 1 fight.
