I don't see Canelo's technique letting him down. Lara will get caught with his right had by his waist, and his chin up in the air.

I think they just have a misconception that he's a slick master boxer and when people say he's not they get defensive. I've always said he isn't that.
To me he is just a pure counter puncher that has a style that he developed in the amateurs. He relies on his feet for defense and never really developed a close range game like most amateur stars nowadays don't. But I mean, if its effective and he is winning there is no need to be defensive about it.Comment

he doesnt throw the same shots over and over again unless its working, even when he does throw the same shots he uses subtle angles that allows him to be effective regardless. finally he is actually more offensively well rounded than most southpaws. most southpaws have a jab and a left hand, nothing else. there are obviously exceptions but lara is more versatile than most leftys.Throws the same punches over and over again, no inside game, shells up whenever anyone starts throwing combinations, no chin, fuggin slowest boxer in the sport made him do the booty dew for crying out loud why is this guy hyped so much? Nothing special about him at all, Canelo's gonna destroy him.
he has a decent inside game, only reason it didnt show against angulo is because he isnt a moron. fighting angulo inside would be ******, thats perros game. the smart thing to do is shell up to avoid as many shots as possible until you can find an opening to get back outside. that fight was all about distance, i thought anyone was smart enough to see that but i guess i was wrong.
angulo has tremendous power, if lara had no chin those shots would have knocked him out cold. anyone can get dropped though, by your standard chavez, hagler, marciano, hopkins and leonard all had glass jaws. lara got dropped by a punche, thats what punchers do. anyone can go down, its how you recover that determines what kind of chin you have.
he isnt hyped, he had a tremendous amateur career and has followed that up with tremendous performances in the pros against guys like williams and trout. you dont see what makes him special because you dont know a good fighter when you see one. lara is a very good fighter, might be great one day.Comment
