In hindsight, was Canelo Vs Angulo a complete mismatch?

he won 2 rounds against lara lol. Of course it was a mismatch. This is the thing, angulo is not at the top of 154, he wasnt before and he isnt now. I dont think there is any doubt that Canelo was more skilled, I think though that people dont realize that Canelo vs lara is a very close fight, everyone was thinking for a while that lara is way better than canelo so by that logic angulo would still trouble canelo. Comes from a few years ago when canelo was carefully matched against undersized guys but hes proven himself by now.

We tend to get different versions of Angulo. i.e The Cintron fight (even though he was said to be sick). And The Lara version. I even said before the fight I hope the Cintron version of Angulo doesn't show up... He Did..... But at the end of the day most called the out come.

It was a good fight imo, Angulo just got beat to the punch. Canelo looked good against good opposition

It was a credible enough match on paper, but the whole purpose of the Angulo matchup was to showcase Alvarez at his best.

In both of Canelo's fights that gave him trouble speed was the issue. He is fast himself. UNderrated speed IMO, but speed gives him a lot of trouble.

I'm a Perro fan but looking at it objectively, it was since the get go. We ALL knew that the only chance Perro had would possibly come with his power. Skills wise, we knew Angulo was not as a smart, as agile, as fast, as dynamic and as intelligent as Canelo is. Perro has always been one dimensional and Canelo has shown a more complete, all around arsenal. You could say the same thing about Lara, and he was still on his last legs against Angulo. Canelo doesn't out slick people, he wears them down and beats them up. There was no reason to believe he didn't stand a CHANCE of doing that against Canelo, Canelo just didn't let him. The fight was well matched. Keep hatin though, folks. Pretty soon Canelo will be the Mexican Mayweather, no matter who he fights or how dominant he wins you guys will call every opponent a mismatch.

That was a great gameplan, against an inferior fighter. He rocked him with the first punch he threw, a big left hook. He then didn't give him an opportunity to get back into it by hitting him with a combo, making him reset, and then hitting him with another combo. Angulo couldn't get momentum or rhythm going. When he threw something, Canelo's defense dealt with it. Failing that Canelo took it without blinking. I think a lot of people were banking on Canelo's confidence being snatched by Mayweather, That wasn't the case at all. It was an excellent performance regardless of what you think of Angulo.

Angulo is a good tough fighter but Canelo is exceptional and I never had any doubts he would do what he did to Angulo. Mayweather beat a 152 pound Canelo but I think it will be a long time if ever before Canelo loses again. He is only 23 and still improving. He has great hand speed and accurate combinations. He has KO power in both hands. He has a good defense and he takes a good punch. Angulo was counting on Canelo slowing down in the late rounds of a fast paced fight. It never happened and Cenelo kept beating him up round after round. The fight was stopped too soon but it really didn't matter. There was no reason to think Canelo would not just continue to land his bombs on Angulo if the fight had continued. Lara had a very hard fight with Angulol and was knocked down twice. Angulo never came close to winning a single round with Canelo.

i knew it was a mismatch from the beginning. Stylistically angulo was doomed, he was made perfect for Alvarez. I also think Angulo was hyped up slightly ahead of time (by the canelo supporters to prepare to praise canelo after) (and by the canelo haters who wanted canelo to lose).

Alfredo let alot of fans down that night. Such a disappointing performance. That wasent the same perro that fought lara. It's not canelo ' fault that angulo looked that bad he did what he had to do. He put his punches 2gether nicely and his stamina was very impressive. The one thing I like about canelo is with each fight you can see the improvements he's making. He's still not even in his prime and he's already the best at 154 besides lil floyd.

I think Angulo lost the fight in the first 5 seconds. Any confidence he had evaporated into thin air.

In my eyes, I didn't need hindsight. I called it since they announced it. You can review all my previous responses. I KNEW Canelo was going to beat Angulo pillar to post. I knew Angulo couldn't hurt him. And I knew Canelo was the better fighter and stronger fighter from short distance long distance. Inside, outside. Angulo didn't stand a chance outside of a fluke punch in my book.

In before Canelo's haters show up: "It TWAS TEH MISMATCH1! PERRO IS TEH BUMZZZ!!!111"

Yes it was and I was saying it.

Thanks for your input.

He looked like he had no power because Canelo backed him up and beat the **** out of him from the get go. That's why he never got going. Not a "bad night" or anything else. Canelo is that good. Haters go cry.
