I thought Lara edged it at the end.
But Canelo's body shots were brutal. IMO it would take about 3 of Lara's shots to make up for 1 of Canelo's left hooks to the body.
btw for the record Floyd's stats vs. Canelo were 232 punches landed out of 505 total thrown for a 46% connect percentage.
Lara managed to land 107 out of 386 thrown so Floyd connected more than twice the amount as Lara and threw over 120 more punches
Look at the punch stats for mayweather v Castillo , **** happens, I think Alvarez deserved it on pressure. Definately think that cut was a big turning point,
what matters is the higher connect percentage and lara has it.
7-5 lara.
levi martinez is a bad judge and should be investigated.
That doesnt matter at all... Dude can pity patter all night long, hard shots are what counts... Same thing in the pauli-broner fight...
Canelo was killing that body..
If lara was really doing damage to canelo, he would have been busted up, bleeding from the nose and mouth from the jab, but you saw none of that..
Canelo walked thru every shot.. Never saw him buckle, back away, etc..
Look at oscars face after the ike fight,, thats what a jab is suppose to do
Fights are scored round by round, not by the total number of punches landed.
no one is saying this should be scored based on punchstats. It's just an interesting statistic to examine.
what matters is the higher connect percentage and lara has it.
7-5 lara.

um what? first of all higher connect percentage is often the opposite means your fighter did worse because he threw far less punches and was not the aggressor. Secondly as someone else stated a large part of Lara's punches were jabs not power shots
what matters is the higher connect percentage and lara has it.
7-5 lara.

lol sure, since when do jabs win fights? canelo threw 100 more power punches
