Comments Thread For: Canelo-Lara: Expert Poll Discussing The Fight, Outcome

[budfr]

boxing is a business it shouldnt even be considered sports no more if cuban fighters were able to fight in miami they would sell out but its not only that everytime theres a mexican fighter all u hear on spanish tv is their fighters just like u got people that never seen sports and they know who the soccer player chicharito is because they always putting him on tv they get all the advertising

All cuban boxer living in the US can fight in Miami. People just donīt like them that much, only hardcore fans. Racism?? Maybe. And remember that Spanish TV is not just for cubans itīs for all Hispanics and most prefer soccer and Mexicans outnumber everyone. You should support cuban athletes in the olympics, they are great. No need to hate them cause they like the Revolution.

Lara vs Canelo??

Trout says Bundrage will fight Canelo Alvarez http://********/2ixRORDMAEs

You cannot discredit Lara by using Molina. The guy throws a punch and immediately hugs his opponent. Molina has a horrible fighting style. I'm not a fan of Kirkland, but I'm glad he got the win against Molina. Keep Molina away from PPV events for the sake of boxing. Anyhow, the same people that use Molina to discredit Lara conveniently forget about the Williams fight.

Watch more Molina fights than just Kirkland, that isn't enough homework to discuss a fighters style.

Cubans can fly to Vegas or anywhere to show support to their boxer. Most prefer not to.

Don't be an A$$, how many ppl do you think can take a weekend off and spend 2 or 3 grands to watch a fight? It is easy for Mexicans because they live in Vegas or close by, why they don't stage the fight in Miami and c how many Mexicans will fly to South Florida? No even the one living in Homestead will take the drive to downtown, so don't give me that flying BS.

I will love to see this fight. Molina is a dirty fighter.

Well why don't you start by telling me who has actually looked good against Molina. Then maybe we'll take the crap your spouting seriously.

I concur.....

Bj Flores knows whats up. If Lara couldnt handle Molina's pressure there's no way in hell he can handle Canelo's.

Huh?

He handled the Punisher's pretty well.

Sure did - he punished the Punisher & got robbed, SMDH.....

True but he couldnt handle Molina's pressure and the funny thing about that is Molina was coming off a 2 year lay-off.

SMDH....

I hear ya. Lara's a bad dude. But I could see Trout giving him issues.

He beats K9, Vanes and Rosado. The Canelo fight is very interesting.

Get your eyes examined -apparently you're not seeing very well....

Keep Molina from the ring, period - have no desire to see someone slow grind then hit like he's some date rapist.....

With fans like you no wonder the sport is dying, there 1.5 or 2 millions Cubans in the USA and we will buy the fight if they make it, and if they bring the fight to Miami the Stadium will be full, you don't Know $h1t about Cubans and you don't know $h1t about the sport, Molina can make look bad anyone, specially if that anyone like Lara didn't train properly, Shields was with Rigondeaux in Ireland and he had a tooth infection 3 days before the fight, so u have to put everything together and make a smarter post.

+1

Sorry man but I don't understand what you are trying to tell me, my favorite boxer was not even Cuban, Barrera is his name and long before him a Chicano name Chacon, and the all time favorite a half Mexican Duran, I don't hate nationalities, I hate injustice and gifts, not Canelo or Jr but what they represent and of course the providers, GBP, TR and the WBC.

Yep, that's how it's supposed to be.

There was no a$$ kicking in that fight, actually it was a dull fight and the best punches were connected by Lara, and again you mention the almost two years layoff but don't say $h1t about Lara's infection 3 days before the fight and the training problems do to Shields training Rigondeaux in Ireland, but lucky for you I remember that.

Got to it before I could.....

who has he beaten? he beat kirkland who is one dimensional,nobody ever thought of kirkland as being a top fighter,he beat cintron when cintron already had been labeled as someone with no heart,didn't he fight chavez? most everybody in here says chavez is a bum,so no biggie there,i see no big victories against top fighters,top fighters not guys like cintron who just wasn't a good fighter to begin with....i still think lara isn't as good as people say he is,he's just begging for a good paycheck,he should fight winner of bundrage/spinks,gets some fans,make a name for himself and then unify with canelo,canelo is on his way to being a ppv star,not lara,thats why he should become a champ and then unify,only way it makes sense,moneywise

Riddle me this: How is Lara going to become a belt-holder when no one wants to fight him?

huh?? all those fans and he still doesn't attract them to his fights? thats why the network doesn't want him...he said it himself,anyways so you can hear it straight from lara,he will be interviewed on espn deportes at 1:00 am eastern time this week,it's a spanish speaking program you can listen on radio or on computer,lara will be there talking about that,it's not made up by me,he'll say it himself

Compare that amount to the whole US population, then come back.....

Average Joe doesnīt know who Lara is and his tiny 16 fight record wont help ticket sales.

Ok Average Joe......

I can't stand how they keep trying to feed nobodies to this clown. Why not make him fight one of the top five ranked boxers? Boxing is such a joke now days.

Nobodies?

LOL, apparently he can......

Lmao, and in what fight are you suggesting one should watch where Molina isnt POPP shoting then come in with his shoulder PUSHING the fighter into the ROPES, HOLDING the RIGHT ARM like its a WWE ARM BAR, Im sorry but Molina is an awkward BUM who grabs & holds to make fights stay close, tires down the stretch, NO MATTER who he fights, yet consistantly tries tonfall into the fighter & tie them up, smother to keep them from getting off.

I dont understand how the Refs let Molina get away with all the EXCESSIVE smothering, clinching, & ARM BAR holds, he's ridiculous with the cheap stuff & I thought Benard Hopkins was bad at it, lol. Not since heavyweight John Ruiz, have I witnessed such a cheap, not worth a squirt of piss style, from a mexican fighter, its lame man, simply gay to have to watch or endure in the ring.
.
Molina is an ass, i have no respect for his style of boxing. As soon as he gets called on that s h i t by a good Referee for all the borderline dirty s h i t he does, he's gonna get KO'd as he tires & is no longer able to feint & move his upper body & head as effectively. A hard working BUM, cagey, busy fighter, but has no power, just grabs & holds EVERY FIGHT he's been in, every one of them.

You ain't lying - that hugging, hitting ***** is b!tch-made, plain & simple. Wish Kirkland caught him earlier, so he could have finished his a$$.....
