Comments Thread For: Erislandy Lara: I Knew That I Would Stop Angulo Late

[PunchyPotorff]

I don't recall to be honest. I will need to watch the fight again. I saw Lara catch him with a lot of clean shots but he was just walking through them like it was nothing. If only his orbital bone was as strong as his jaw lol

Kinda tough to notice if Angulo gets hurt. He just has that same stoic robot look throughout the fight.

[pistol whip]

Perro landed 31% (134/426) of his power shots and only 3% (9/278) of his jabs. Majority of those power shots were on the inside.

Wow that's a lot of power shots landed by a guy who obviously had a major speed disadvantage. I still think Lara's defense is suspect. As much as I love Perro I was realistic about this fight. I thought Lara was going to win 8rounds to 4 and giving Perro a boxing lesson. I really think Lara has some holes in his defense big time!

Lara has said in 3 or 4 interviews I've read since the fight, that Angulo's power was leaving by the mid rounds. So, I will take him at his word. And I'm not sure where the impression comes from, that he folds under pressure. What I see is a fighter who, if anything, improves after he's been lit up. And, besides the Martirosyan fight, he seems to be a fighter who finds a way to win. Not a rock em sock em robots guy like Angulo. I don't think he'd beat Canelo, but he would beat Trout IMO... and that would be an interesting fight. Lara does need to fix the holes in his defense though, but he does have more power than he's given credit for by many. Steel headed Angulo was indeed stopped in his tracks a few times there. If Lara tightens his defense, he would have alot easier time in there. Not saying he gets to top P4P, but he would be a handful... without having to struggle as much.

whoever is picking ginger over Lara doesn't know $h1t about boxing, and I'll bet real money with anyone willing to put the green where his/her mouth is, Lara has fought Brewster with only 10 fights, Williams, Molina, Vanes and he is another one that quit, because the straight left was doing a lots of damage after the 5 round, Angulo (whom I think came really prepared and 10 pounds heavier, I don't read the haters writing about this, a MW fighting a LHW, maybe that's why he took the punches and had a little more steam on his) Hernandez as a matter of fact I don't think he has face a fighter with a losing record, now wtf ginger has fought that we could say he is an elite fighter, he barely won against a feather fisted Trout and you idiots acting like he just beat up Marvin Hagler

[apocalypto]

Lara stfu you got saved. Hope to see a rematch but angulo should sit for a year let that eye heel or the samething will happen like with margarito

[r__mutt]

Just watched the replay of the final punches Lara threw...Angulo's eye was already pretty swollen at that point. Looks like Lara grazed him with the thumb of his thumbless glove, but it was more on the temple/massive lump already forming. No way Angulo can say it was on purpose because he was the one who bobbed out of the way causing the punch to slide off his face. Looks like the second punch (first left) really did the damage before Lara tagged him with another right and left.

As stated in the other threads, Angulo turned away, nodded, later winced when the doctor touched his face. Can't hate the guy for quitting, but his post-fight excuses thus far have been a little annoying. Guess we'll have to wait for official news on the eye...

Canelo will destroy Lara. Lara has a glass jaw and Canelo would break it no way he takes the shots Trout took in that fight. Lara got lucky against El Perro cuz Angulo was one knockdown away from sealing the deal.

Those of you saying Lara would have lost if not for the stoppage, look at each of there after the fight lol


And the guy who said neutralize laras left to win, every time Angelo tried Lara hit him with right hooks, im pretty sure that is what caused the stoppage in the end too.


But I hope Angulo has a good recovery and comeback as he is a good and fun fighter.

Good post. I would also bet on Lara against Canelo. Not sure why anyone is convinced otherwise

he wanted to give the fans a good fight and that's why he stood in front of him? lol,yeah right,he did it because he had no choice at moments,he doesn't react too good when pressured and those body shots got to him,thats why he was standing there,nothing to do with wanting to give fans their moneys worth,he's not that type of fighter to give the fans their hard earned money spent at thee places a good fight,this fight was exciting because of angulo not him,if it were up to him he would have pulled a mike jones/bailey type of stinker,he's an avg fighter with a non pleasing style,i still have to see him face a top 154 pounder to see how good he is,then face a champ,he hasn't done that yet

He just stopped Angulo in the most fan friendly fight of the year I'd say. But alright. And I'd take him over anyone at 154 right now
