[DannYankee]

Fck Ishe Smith nobody wants to see that **** anyway time to give Lelo his next schooling, but he is lucky cause... he young doe.

Is the Ishe contract sign btw?

This might be your first ever non idiotic post. Good Job.

Thank you i guess. Glad to be of service

Pretty sure he has to win the fight first. But keep being a ****** like always.

I dont even know who you are. Do you post regularly?

Anyway, have you not seen the excuses already? And the fight hasnt even been signed. Just imagine if Lara says no. The hate Canelo will get for Lara saying no.

I didn't get it right: is this fight at the middleweight, super middleweight, or light heavyweight?

It depends on if the contract counts the weight of the ATG Appendage or not.

So... Canelo approaches Kirkland when he's hurt. He approaches Ortiz while he still has a fight in front of him (Lopez). He approaches Cotto while in negotiations with Martinez. Now he approaches Lara knowing he has a fight like a month and a half prior to the July date.

Don't be misleading.

Canelo approached Kirkland in late May for a fight that would be in September. He approached Kirkland after he'd had successful shoulder surgery in April and his team had gone on record saying Kirkland would be ready to go again in September.
Here is the link that might help you remember.

Kirkland initially accepted the offer, but a day later pulled out because he said he wasn't fully recovered from his surgery. However there were rumors that Kirkland had declined the offer because he was unsatisfied with the 1 million dollar offer and wanted 2.5 million. And he had someone in his ear giving him bad advise.

He approached Ortiz because Josesito Lopez was suppose to be a walk in the park for him. And he approached Cotto because he wanted to fight him. He didn't approach him once the fight with Martinez was signed he approached him before that. Said he wanted to fight, offered 10 million guaranteed and it was Cotto who declined. It's his choice, but what's wrong with asking for a fight with a fighter?

**** yall Canelo hataz. He is the real future of boxing. And is giving the fans a fight we want to see. I got him beating Lara too. Also if Lara is smart he withdraws from the Ishe Smith fight somehow someway. Otherwise he'll be at a disadvantage. Or maybe he can just try and take Canelo the next fight after and let Canelo fight someone else. Come on we complained he didn't fight Lara in the first place. I know why now. He wanted to see how he would do on PPV. And he needed a name someone knew that he could beat but still be entertaining. Good move from him and his team. Props to Canelo.

Reading through all these comments, it's amazing to me that people are upset.
If Canelo had picked any other fighter people would be saying he ducked Lara.
He calls out Lara and people are still upset?

No wonder, Arum and others have said they don't give a **** about the hard core fans.

Any update on the Lara vs Smith fight?

Lara better make a quick decision to cancel the fight because I don't think Canelo team would stand by and wait for injuries to get healed, or be dictated into rescheduling the date they picked.

Most contrast and compare the Lara and Canelo fights vs Angulo and use that as a measuring stick.. which I love.

Some forget to compare the outcomes of the Canelo and Lara fights vs Trout which to me is a much better indicator of what's to come muhahaha...

The outcome was the same as well both won a decision and scored a knockdown. Obviously the Lara win was more dominant the way it played out. Lara won the fight based on his movement and Jab while Canelo won on power punching and body/ head movement.

Now let's be honest Trout didn't land anything significant on either guy because he was forced to be the aggressor and dictate the pace. As we found out he's not a very good fighter when he is the aggressor he's at his best when he is countering his opponent.

Trout was never in the fight against Lara but one can argue that was a horrible style match up for Trout. Canelo is going to be more effective walking Lara down than Trout was so it's not that good of a measuring stick for this fight either IMO. He's also a more complete boxer than Trout is which leads me to believe he won't just follow Lara around the ring, but also look to counter and make Lara the aggressor at times. He displayed he can beat you a number of different ways in the Angulo and Trout fight while Lara fought the same kind of fight against both.
