It's official. Canelo-Lara is a done deal.

It's been obvious for a while that he wants tough fights. He wanted Williams, he wanted Ortiz (Seen as a step up at the time), he wanted Kirkland, he wanted Cotto. It's obvious that Canelo Lara would happen. But idiots on here as always with the "He'll never fight him" I know he wants the tough fights, but we've seen that what the fighter wants doesn't always matter. Alvarez isn't letting Golden Boy push him into worse fights, and that's more than other fighters do.

Was never a Canelo fan but loving his attitude and wanting to fight Lara. Need more guys like him in boxing 100% my thoughts! I'm starting to like him!

Seemed pretty obvious to me that this fight would happen. The amount of fuking numbskulls that pollute this site is incredible. They can't wait to jump on the next "ducking" bandwagon. I can almost sense the disappointment from some that this fight actually is happening so they can't continue the duck crusade. Precisely. My thoughts exactly.

Damn at only 23 years old Alvarez is beginning to have some solid names on his resume (win or lose).

Badass. So badass. As hard as I've been on Alvarez, since he took that first step with Trout he has not looked back. I can't say a bad word about his attitude as a fighter. Really looking forward to this fight. It's been obvious for a while that he wants tough fights.

Fantastic matchup. Canelo is really trying to prove something in this sport and people have to respect that.

Booooom. Take that unbelievers. :lol1:

Finally now it's put up or shut up for Lara. He better not put on a Vanes performance.

Fuk yea. Props to canelo for not staying spoon fed. Easy W for Lara. But prob get robbed

Canelo got a champion's attitude. Can't take nothing away from the kid. Props! Win, lose or draw, I'm not even gonna rub it in that I picked Lara. He took this fight, and that's respect.
