Very impressed with Lara. First time he's been knocked down as a pro and it doesn't even phase him, he came back stronger after both kd and stopped Angulo in a devestating fashion with a horrific injury and a ring retirment. Lara's offense was excellent, defense was decent, he made the fight entertaining by allowing Angulo to get some shots in. Whether that was due to bad stamina or out of choice who knows for sure, but that was a great fight.

I would go as far to say I think Joel Julio in a loss to Angulo looked more impressive against him than Lara until what could be easily called a very quick stoppage occurred, he was boxing, using the ring, turning Angulo, and landing combinations.

Canelo would have been one of those, Canelo would have ran combinations on Angulo, mixed up his attack to the head and body, which would have prompt the ref to stop it. It's one thing to tire out because of havin' to play this cat and mouse game with Trout, Canelo doesn't have to look for Angulo.

i kept hearing that he was. even showtime was labeling him all these eloquent words. dude was getting bodied by a face-first zombie who can't even box properly. besides showing grit, i wasn't impressed at all. i thought he looked average against a below average fighter.

I thought the size of the ring (a phone-booth) as well as the fact that Lara couldn't hurt Angulo allowed the latter to impose his weight and pressure on Erislandy, which in time tired Lara and allowed him to land more cleanly. I was impressed by the amount of damage Lara did to Angulo's face as he's one of those thick-skinned fighters who don't really mark easily.Last edited by BafanaBafana; 06-12-2013, 04:27 PM.
