U sure as hell can't win by chasing and missing, I wish it was 1 way if this would have been Floyd he would've won by blowout, now for those who love brawlers I just can't see 9-3 in no way
So I guess I have to stand and trade to win, I don't believe that's boxing running isn't either but elusiveness and excellent footwork is ask yourself an honest question who would u have rather been, and I haven't seen a fight yet where halfway decent body blows outweighs eating 1-2s to the head while trying to hit home runs missing wildly wins u the fight
Lara stopped to punch to be honest, he didn't throw them as he was moving. He mostly punched and then ran.
As for effective agressiveness: He was snapping Canelo's head back pretty good in the fist part of the fight. Also in the middle of the fight Canelo looked like he was taking over the fight after the cut, but when Lara started to punch back more in round 8, you could see Canelo felt it and slowed down only to start back up again in round 12. If Lara's punches were really so ineffective as is being argued, then that would not have happened. I can see how the running was not helping the fight, but Lara still landed more regardless of that fact and seeing the way it impacted Canelo it was effective.
You could even argue the other way around: Body punching is mostly done in order to slow the other guy down. That didn't really seem to happen. The only thing that slowed Lara down was the cut. Lara had clearly lost his bearings a bit after that, but came back to his original gameplan after that with the same ammount of excessive running. The body punches of Canelo didn't seem to effect that fact. So how effective was the body work of Canelo really? The effective punches were the headshots, but Canelo hardly connected those.
Mayweather boxes Lara Ran!! We should all be happy Nelo won because a Floyd Lara fight, OMG would be super boring..Hell even the build up. We should all go to Canelo's birthday party and thank him from saving us from that ish...

No, Mayweather is capable of combining defense with offense, and did so against Nelo. Lara literally took f*cking rounds off. He only has himself to blame for the loss. I had it 7-5 Nelo.
Yes you can. The scoring criteria is "effective aggression".
But even if there is no effective aggression, ineffective aggression is still better than ineffective running, BY DEFAULT.
So if the running was so ineffective, why did Lara land 4 times more shots to the head?

Exactly. Aggression is only effective if you actually land in the process. Otherwise it's as much good defense and ring generalship as it is pure aggressive pursuit.
