Canelo vs. Lara: Post Fight Discussion Thread

[icha]

He did gas in the Angulo fight though. Angulo wasn't able to capitalize because Canelo did damage early on.

canelo took a 20 second breather on the 8th, while fighting and throwing bombs and combos for 3 minutes out of every round for ten rounds...
again i hope lara is on the same page as his fans...

STAMINA will play a big role in this fight

Canelo does not have experience vs a top level southpaw

Lara will be in the position to throw and land more than Canelo

Canelo will be fighting on the front foot but Lara will prefer this. The Cuban will try to keep off the ropes.

LARA wins .

What power? Angulo's power was nonexistent.

Yes. Angulo kept a low profile in that fight.
I foresee that Lara will do the same -- for some mysterious reasons.

Approved.
But do you happen to know how much money is Lara making this time, as compared to his past? I don 't.

The only way I see Canelo winning is if he gets Lara on the ropes. Sometimes in boxing the advantages you listed isn't enough. It's all up to the fighter to put all those things together once hes under those lights inside ring. One of the reasons I had my doubts with Algieri. Was he gonna be able to grasp the moment? Will Lara be able to grasp the moment?

Also one thing you forgot to list that IMO is one of the most important things in boxing cause you can't teach it, experience. Canelo has better experience on the big stage but I think OVERALL Lara has more experience. And he has had to overcome more adversity.

Im not sure if Ive been reading you right but have you been insinuating that Lara will be paid off? If so, sorry, that isnt happening.

No way. Canelo only bewitches opponents.

Its hard to get a read on you. Whether you're being sarcastic or not. Lol

A couple years ago, I'd say Lara hands down. Today, I'm not sure but i'm riding with Lara, who pfp has more skill. In a match of traditional fighters the guy with better skill should prevail.

I think they're pretty similar in terms of power. Lara is better conditioned, but both can be taken out of their fight. Whoever can adjust on the fly is going to win.

This fight is going to be controversial, Lara is going to out point Canelo and land the more cleaner, crisper shots, but Canelo might put him on the canvas a couple times and the judges might give him the W because of it.

Lara has a glass chin and those Trinidad legs. Canelo is going to destroy this bird lover into his own NatGeo show Erislandy The Bird Whisperer.
