    Pretty much this. Great points.

      I've seen both those fights and whether you liked what you saw or not, Lara has not reached this level by simply running.
      Being slick and moving are two different things...You can be slick and not even move your leg. I've seen Miguel Cotto move his leg, does that make him slick?


      I have been to 1 Lara fight live (vs. Trout) and the arena booed him to hell. He is a mover (borderline runner)...a slick fight would have never been him by Angulo.

      Another reason why he is a runner (f>ck it, he's a runner)...is because he was moving against Trout for no reason....Trout is no Angulo when it comes to ferocity so why run.

        That a lie...Ishe Smith is fighting him...he's not scared of Lara.

          You have to Forgive him, he's new to boxing. And all he watches is runners, so even Lara might excite him.

            Yeah, but Mayweather, Canelo, and GGG are.

              So the electric crowd was booing this boring runner huh?

              What happened to the enthusiasm with the live crowd in Canelo vs Angulo? They seemed pretty livid and booed throughout the fight. Weren't Canelo, Angulo fighting toe to toe?

              Not sure what your agenda is, but you are trying to distinguish between two aspects which are not at all that different. You might have underlying reasons.

                Canelo and Angulo were fighting Toe to Toe, and the fans BOOED because the fighting/entertainment was stopped by the ref.

                lol you sound like Laras last Saturday's post fight interview

                Must've been a though week for you, here have some

                  for the record Erislandy is one of my top three favorite boxers to watch, the other two being Floyd and Danny

                  however, he doesn't seem too hard a target unless he's moving around the ring

                  Being difficult to hit in a phone booth is one of the slickness measurements I use

                      You can't compare canelo-angulo to angulo-lara
                      Saul had every advantage while Lara had none
