being in the position to throw and land

Foot movement and reach...


Styles makes fights and this one favours Lara heavily in terms of styles

Avi bet anyone? Or sig?

Lara will go blind at the weigh in when he sees THAT snake

So what do you guys think. On paper its a 50/50 fight?

I think the intangibles play a big factor in this fight, the card is called "Honor & Glory."

I like Canelo and his 'fight the best' mentality and I actually want him to win.
But I don't think he will overcome the style match-up. We've never seen him effectively cut the ring off or land combinations on a moving target.
I'm going for Lara UD, in reality a 10-2/9-3 kinda decision but judges scorecards of 8-4, 8-4, 7-5. But I'd like Canelo to prove me wrong.

Tough fight to call. I don't care what anyone says. The only thing I'm really vibing is: if Canelo can't hurt or stop Lara, Erislandy wins. I don't see Alvarez legitimately outpointing Lara. Will it be a fair decision if it goes to the cards? There's another question. Fortunately, we don't have to wait long for our answers.

Definitely a chance for the judges to favor Canelo on the cards..
