Lara KO's Canelo, that dude is a solid counter puncher.

Anyone else notice Lara carried Trout in round 12? He didn't go for the kill and could've KO'd Trout if he tried. Looks like he felt bad for Trout, probably saw his kids crying?

Canelo never fought with a closed right eye before.

Admittedly it wasn't exciting but I sure respected the skill by both men. But what I thought was amazing was the wide margin that Lara won, I thought it would be closer.
