Did u see the body English at the corners before the announcement?
Lara, Canelo, the corners n we all know Lara won; of course it's better for the boxing business if Canelo wins, so live w it, it's a business, life will go on.
Really tough to score. If I had to choose I would probably score it a draw
Lara doesn't throw enough punches and Canelo is a mediocre fighter IMO. Both guys lost and should go nowhere near 160
115-113 Canelo
You can't win a fight by flicking jabs, throwing no meaningful punches for 2/3 the fight, and not controlling the momentum or pace of the fight.
Lara disappointed me tonight. I'm still a fan, but I'm not going to sit here and lie saying he won.
Canelo is 23 years old and has beaten Trout, Angulo, and Lara. Plenty said he'd lose to Trout and get schooled, some even said Angulo would spark him out, and many many many including myself said Lara would embarrass.
Time to eat crow, and I am
Canelo 8-4.
I think Lara fought a great fight for the first few round but Canelo adjusted and just went balls to the wall. I was impressed by Lara not staying in the pocket because he has no inside game but I was more impressed by Canelo's stamina which never let up.
Enjoyed the fight but I did feel bad for Lara because he talked so much and ran like a Ugandan marathon star. Maybe if he ever gets another shot like this he won't be such a pussy.
My score as well. Agree with most of what you said.

This^^ either way but leaning more toward lara.
Paulie said it best at the end if the broadcast. " I have no problem with Canelo winning, what I have a problem with is a scorecard of 117-110
Had it a draw. Would of had no problem with either man winning but that 117-111 card was a shame. Like Sicko said neither really proved to be the better fighter
Lara's defense was fun to watch, too bad his offense was atrocious and that's what lost him the fight. Good job Lara you successfully embarrassed Canelo by making him miss. Such a shame he decided that was more important than the win.
It wasn't like Canelo didn't want to box in the center of the ring either.
115-113 for Canelo, and that's only because Canelo threw like 3 punches in the first 2 rounds.
I didn't score it but 115-113 either way seems fair. 117-111 is too wide. Lara got a fair shake at least. Good fight!
This here. I thought Lara might have edged it but neither convinced me.
