Comments Thread For: Erislandy Lara: I Did What Canelo Alvarez Couldn't Do!

[cabalas]

Lara won last night but the fight was very far from being spectacular (casual fans want something like Lara vs. Angulo which was full of action). It would be nice to see Lara-Alvarez but Canelo needs to change his style to being more aggressive to increase his chances to win. It was clear against Floyd that Saul would never outbox somebody faster consequently Canelo should brawl and press the fight to take better advantage of his power (just like Angulo did except Canelo has better defense than Alfredo who is careless about receiving). Canelo needs to work more on his stamina issues in order to keep more active during the whole fight. Saul is only 22 and I think is still possible for him to improve and develop to his full potential.

Yes Lara did something Canelo could never do, and that is bore us to death.
That fight was painful to watch. I began to youtube the Sturm fight in the middle of this snoozefest.

I like Lara, but like his fellow countrymen Abril and Rigondeaux, they're difficult to watch. I wish that they'd take a bit more risk, step on the gas and pursue a KO once in a while. Lara clearly had Austin dominated, could he a least go for the kill?

Lara is a mother****ing beast. Top 10 p4p! Lara beats canelo, kirkland, cotto...Matter fact honestly I would take lara over Triple G. That straight left comes in too accurate, toofast and too HARD!

Lara is hitting them where it hurts.

This. The only criticism I have with Lara is that he should've tried to finish Trout. I already think he's the best at 154 but him knocking out Trout would've made an unbelievable statement.

Idk what happened there. Maybe Lara will tell us. Maybe these guys are right. Listen, Lara is a BIG family man so maybe he DID look over and saw the kids. Who knows? Your guess is as good as mine.

I don't mind the wife thing at a fight but kids is a whole different story man.

I like Lara but that's not saying much. It's obvious beating Austin Trout and 40 telemarketers and Starbucks baristas shouldn't get you a fight with Floyd.


Lara would put a clinic on Canelo. Hell I think Vanes beats Canelo

How is Lara chinny? Each of the knockdowns by Angulo were massive full power left hooks that he ran into. He recovered well and came back. Kirkland has terrible footwork and would get hit way too clean. How would Canelo catch Lara? Canelo always needs to have his feet set. If not then he's going to turn into a boxing match that he can't win.

Kind of sounds like you just hate cubans or Lara?

Not to mention that was the first time Lara's has been down not only in the pros but in the amateurs too!! Plus he got up and fought better after both knock downs not many guys fight better after a knock down. And didn't angulo crawl back to his corner to quit?!!

[Cinci Champ]

honestly this fight makes the most sense if cotto goes else where. I just dont see canelo fighting him

[Cubanborn87]

It would be a good fight but after so much running Canelo catches him

I also think Kirkland ko's him

Cotto even takes out chinny lara

Hi hater, how does canelo **** taste
