Mayweather does not fight like Lara you damn casual :lol1:
Lara LOST, he beat himself that night and gave the fight away.
Lmao @you calling me a casual. I didn't say they fought the same way, I said Mayweather has won a lot of his fights the same way. Staying away and landing a few pot shots per round. This is what Lara did to Canelo. Canelo landed **** all..most people are responding based off the one and only time they saw the fight which was a fuzzy illegal stream. Watch the fight in HD, Canelo lost big time.
Dirrel beat Froch's head up with straigt up jabs and power punches, he clearly won lol. Dirrell pretty much landed at will. Froch's best offense in the fight was repeatedly hitting behind the head.
Am glad he didn't get the decision. He clearly won? Not really. Did i think Froch actually won that fight? Nope, but am glad Dirrell wasn't rewarded with the way he fought. He might have "outbox" Froch but am glad he wasn't rewarded. Didnt he even have a point deducted because of his constant fouling?
Outfought? Nah, Outbox? Yeah... Its the way he did it that left a good taste in my mouth when i knew he was robbed of that decision.

I watched this fight at a house party where half there were rooting for Lara rooting against Canelo and even the ones who started the night rooting to see canelo lose were happy with the decision and said I will never watch Lara fight again. If he fought in the pocket more in between all the moving he could of won or got himself knocked out but he didn't want to find out so straight ran.
It was a bad look for boxing and a terrible fight.
I definitely think he would have won if he had stood his ground a bit more. The fact that he literally ran just made me not feel anything for him. I was glad he wasn't given the decision.
Dirrell's performance vs Froch was far greater than Lara's against Canelo.
Dirrell was actually landing vicious power punches to the head, consistently. One judge gave him the fight, rightfully so. The other two had it 112-115 for Froch. It was in Nottingham though, so there was homecooking.
Dirrell definitely outfought and outboxed Froch.

I second this 100%. Am glad Lara wasn't rewarded with the way he fought. The same way i was glad Dirrell wasn't given the decision against Carl Froch. I don't mind a boxer making someone miss, but when you make them miss and you then proceed to rub and not take advantage of them miss? I cannot back you at all.

I was rooting for Lara to win in this fight and he didn't do anything. Canelo outlanded Lara in power punches in 10 of 12 rounds. Lara compared his performance to Mayweather's, who did the reverse, outlanding Canelo in 10 of 12 rounds in power punching.
Very disappointing performance from Lara. You can even tell he could've won if only he had tried to. He probably had flashbacks of Angulo and decided to run all night to not get caught with anything big again.
Big PPV fight, big stage, and you go and stink up the show like that.
The only robbery Lara has been in was vs Williams, where he outlanded Williams 7 rounds to 5 in power punches, landing 49% overall. When you land 40-50% of your power punches, and your opponent lands less than you and there were no KD's, it's hard for judges to not give you the fight.

Lmao landed a couple more punches all jabs while being doubled up in power shots. Only a 100 punches total. Tell us how many times sugar Ray Leonard did that? I'll give you a hint in how that will play out. Sprinting refusing to fight moving for no damn reason not to set up a damn thing then after 1 minute of running landing a single pot shot jab don't win you fights the pros let alone on the biggest stage.
Keep typing. I'm not reading.
Canelo vs Lara lately?
What an absolute robbery. Lara schooled his ass. After rewatching it even the body work was sub par. He lost the majority of the rounds.
... it wasn't a robbery; it was a fixed fight...
... they fought at 155... Lara took the "Canelo money" but kept his belt at 154... :)
Bottom line here; It's not running if you outland your opponent. It's as simple as that.
Sergio Martinez made a career out of this style.

Nope I am NOT Mexican! And definitely not fat. I also don't compare Lara sprinting to sugar Ray Leonard Hagler but that is just me I know boxing and you don't know shyt if you walked away from one of the biggest stinkfest fights ever where Lara fought gutless to all time great fights lol let alone compare Cuban gutless to one of the most popular fan friendly fighters ever.
I mean you can't count how many times Lara has been booed or how many times fans have got up and walked out his fights. Most famously at Barclays where fans showed up for the undercard fights then booed him and walked out. His fight ended with 1/4 of the crowd remaining from when it started and that's not uncommon for his fights because how much he runs and doesn't fight. And on the biggest stage he choked and ran himself out of the fight. That performance will haunt him the rest of his career.
Won't read. You've lost ALL credibilty by referring to a WORLD CLASS boxer as........(get this)........."gutless".
You must be Mexican. And you're also probably a fat slob who's never laced a pair of boxing gloves.
If Lara is so "gutless", why don't you go in there and show him how it's done? You disrespectful peice of trash.

Running doesn't win fights. I'm glad the judges didn't reward Lara for fighting like a *****.
I second this 100%. Am glad Lara wasn't rewarded with the way he fought. The same way i was glad Dirrell wasn't given the decision against Carl Froch.

The Cuban gutless wonder doesnt fight like either guy lol

Look; I don't have time to argue over this all day and night. If you believe that Canelo won that fight, fine! I'm not going to disavow you of your opinion. I just happen to disagee.
And once again, I will say; 7-5 Lara or 6-6 were fair scores.
You'd be VERY hard pressed to show me where Canelo DEFINITIVELY won seven rds here.
And PLEASE; Don't speak for me. I am the furthest thing from a Canelo hater. I'll give him his props when he deserves them. Like GGG 2.
This was not one of those fights.
