Comments Thread For: Canelo, Lara Reach Agreement For July 12 Clash

[CubanGuyNYC]

i got canelo by destruction on this one, but if the fight goes to the distance expect it to be close and fans on the looser side will consider it a robbery no matter who wins , and wining close fights against other good fighters is nothing to be ashamed of...
so far looks like if canelo doesnt win more than 8 rounds clearly it will be considered a robbery , hopefully he finishes by KO... and even then we ll get the dive conspiracies..

"By destruction"? I don't think so. This fight's going to the cards. Who wins? Tough to say, as far as I'm concerned. I will agree that if it's close, the losing side will complain to no end. But that happens with practically every big fight where the outcome isn't clear.

Lara will school him and get robbed like he did against Williams. Oh well hopefully objective boxing fans will realize he was all hype no substance.

Precisely that's why we was saying Lara was avoided by the elite fighters, because as you said no decent fighter wanted to fight him. With Canelo was different because he always have had all the possible options to chose. By again Isa, I'm happy with this fight and I can say only compliments to Canelo to get the fight and GB help Lara to be free of Ishe Smith in order to get a fair fight

lara has actually fought decent names, but they were coming off bad performances(punisher,angulo,trout) and the ones coming off good performances(molina, vanes) he couldnt get the W.... but i will leave you alone with this... lets enjoy the fight and not make excuses...

I know boxing is a bussines today, but we not have to accept it like it is. Should be a mixture of boxing and business, because if not these is no more than a show. I want to see the real fights, not only the ones manipulated by promoters. Looks for example the post of arum asking for a boicot to Mayweather because he wants now the fight with pacquiao. This fight is not as relevant today as it was 4 years ago when probably I was willing to make the boicot, but today?. Arum and GB is only manipulating so many of the fights and they made everything possible for not making the fight. Is frustrating that a boxer make a path fighting and the ones on the top blocked him because is so good. Im completely against this and if lara become part of this game I'll be agree with anyone who blame him for this behaviour

It is a mixture of boxing and business. You're getting the fight you want right? There is the boxing side of it. If you'd listen to us, we told you the fight will eventually take place, but it takes time.
This is where the business part comes in. You have to build a fight up. It's not the amateurs, in professional boxing you need viewers and fans to want to see the fight. If not they just won't make it.

Wow this is really happening lol

I will enjoy this fight. Of course I like Canelo to win by UD

It's not about defending him. It's about simply understanding how boxing works today. It's about entertainment, whether it's how a fighter fights, or creating story lines that sell. Not about boxing integrity.

Lets be honest the main reason Lara wants to fight Canelo is because of the money. If he was truly about boxing integrity then Lara would be fighting Molina and Vanes again. But he's not. He wants nothing to do with those fighters any more. He wants the biggest paycheck in his division. And IF he manages to beat Canelo, I will guarantee you he will want to fight Martinez/Cotto.

Something you still can't clearly see, or can see but pretend not to.

Do you ever heard that Vanes or Molina has ever asked to Lara for a revenge?. As far as i can remember (im not sure I admit) even VAnes moved away in weight of the division. But you are right, if the Molina or Vanes ask for a fight he should consider do it, but for now I have not notice of such desire of they to fight

at the end of the day we wish we had more close fights instead of mismatches..

We just hate his past attitude of ducking

Ducking who? Lara isn't that well known. This isn't only about the best fighting the best, it's about money. You just don't get a shot because your fans think you're the best, you have to earn it.

There you go buddy. Both Molina and Martirosyan want/wanted Lara rematch. But again since there is no demand for the fight, it probably won't take place.

Win or lose, Lara will demand a bigger fight after Canelo.

And people are still complaining...lol
