Canelo vs. Lara: Post Fight Discussion Thread

Lol tried to kill two birds with one stone. Doesn't work with you stubborn mofos though.

It's Boxingscene, bro. Didn't you know? Nobody's ever wrong!

[Bardock]

lol It can get intense when your fighter loses anyway, but you guys are especially relentless. lol

I can't get into it. I'm too old for that. I'm like Lara nowadays with the verbal fisticuffs, I throw a couple of sharp 1-2's, then I'm outta there. lol

LOL I wasn't even trolling him after the fight though. He's just asschapped for no reason. Yeah I've seen you own a couple guys in a short sentence lol you dont get into them paragraph battles like us

hopkins does not do what lara does

lara tries to win each round by small margins and if it was an amateur fight , he would have won with there being no doubt about who won

lara hit canelo with a 3 punch combo and canelo ducked low , hopkins would have followed up , lara didnt because of his amateur boxing, defensive mindset

That's his downfall. Then again, you can't just start wailing on Alvarez either.

Yeah, that's the tightrope Lara was walking. I think Landy felt enough power and ability from Canelo that he didn't want to go too far out on a limb. But many will argue he should have. With the benefit of retrospect, I'm one of them.

canelo goes into a shell when you are throwing even if its in the middle of the ring,

he genuinely believed he was schooling canelo

i thought he won 9 rounds i think at the time

i have no desire to watch the fight again lol , i might watch what people are callin swing rounds again just to see,

I don't know man; Canelo is pretty strong and capable. I was just banking on him to tire.

Trying to make 154lbs and lower takes a lot out of him, IMO. I remember in his fight against Floyd, Pbf said "he's going to burn out." Mind you, that was after the first round lol.

lara won the last 3 rounds in my view so you could argue canelo did tire and canelo's body work wasn't as effective as some people are saying

I thought Lara rallied late and took the last 2 rounds, but Canelo's body shots were the main reason Lara was so inactive from 7-10. Lara showed great fitness by being able to keep moving and never really getting trapped, but the body shots def affected his punch output

I expected Canelo to tire as well. He was in good shape for this fight.

I didn't see that. Saul looked pretty good to me.
