Dela hoya won round 9 running or not. He also dominated the 1st 8 rounds, so very bad comparison....one of the biggest robberies ever to one of the most boring yet close fights ever. Won't work.
High risk/low reward guys are one and done unless the fight is close AND exciting. It was close, but failed elsewhere.
I thought the fight was very close, i had Canelo just winning a tight fight though.
With the comments recently by Canelo's team in regards to a Monroe fight being unappealing because of his style..i don't ever see there being a shot at a Lara rematch.
Lara has had mostly disappointing fights since the Canelo fight.
He needs a good win to propel him into the possibility of another big opponent.
There's good guys there at 154 he could fight, but nothing seems to develop.
Of course Lara deserves a rematch, and the fight would arguably go the same way the first one did (with Canelo getting the gift decision)...therefor he won't get it... Floyd also ducked Lara, let's not forget.
Lara has his style just like rigo has his.
Lara arguably Beat canelo .
Imo Lara deserves a rematch
A rematch is fine based on styles but lara has done nothing since the loss to DESERVE it. Or I should say, not done enough.
Not everybody likes every dude who comes from a boat from Cuba to Miami bro.. Your exactly right. No doubt you have to be a certain type of boxing fan to appreciate Lara's skillset. Having said that, as boring as that fight was, the end result was Canelo could not time or find Lara at all that night. It wasn't a obvious victory for Lara but he controlled what Canelo did and I think he actually outlanded him in the compubox numbers. He didn't "beat" Canelo per say, but he did enough to "win" the fight.
He ran?? It's called sticking and moving and he outlanded Canelo which he couldn't have done if he was truly running. De la Hoya vs Trinidad rounds 9-12, that is the definition of running.
Lara and Trout both beat Canelo. As much as I like Cotto I was fine with a 116-112 or even 115-113 Canelo over Cotto but Trout, and especially Lara beat Canelo.
Lara can't beat Canelo clearly, ergo we'd be having this conversation again and again after the same boring match-up
If Lara really can fight an HBO guy, let him go fight Cotto. That's an interesting match-up.
That's less interesting that canelo Lara. Lara boxes him easily

He's still number 1 at 154. Idk why you hate him so much. Plus the first fight was razor thin
I dont hate him at all, i just dont get the hype...and he is #1 by default
Good luck garnering interest in this fight again. You'll get twelve fans max.
Some even wonder why Alvarez even took that fight. And they're glad he took it and got it over with. You can bet team Canelo would never take it again even if Lara is the only one left standing. This is a useless thread.

Man has done nothing at all since sticking up the ring with Canelo...beat ishe smith,delvin rodrigez and Jan Zaveck and he deserves something?
