Comments Thread For: Lara: Canelo Did Not Fight The Same Angulo I Fought

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBA "regular" junior middleweight champion Erislandy Lara congratulated Canelo Alvarez for his dominating stoppage victory over Alfredo Angulo that took place in March at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Now Lara and Canelo will meet in the same ring on July 12th in a bout televised by Showtime pay-per-view.

but Lara, Canelo got a draw on one of the judges cards against Mayweather!
It be fair, this is an interesting fight as Lara did struggle against Angulo and Morlina(which i thought he lost)
Fair play on Canelo for taking this fight

LOL. Same Angulo. Just a superior and more diverse offensive arsenal for Canelo.

But the performances against Trout and Angulo mean nothing for this fight. I wish people would focus more on the style matchup between Lara and Canelo themselves rather than how they performed against completely different opponents.

[Divine Hammer]

this is true. plus i think the ring was much smaller.

lara is a true champion. you can see it in his eyes and hear it in his voice that he is a champion of the world.

[Larry the boss]

Just shut up and get ready to fight damn..

Angulo never recovered from the Lara fight.

Not to mention, he killed himself to make the weight while Canelo didn't even bother. Something a lot of people overlook.

interesting fight, this is what boxing should be about, the best of the division fighting each other as long both fighters are properly paid for their efforts.

Lara didnt fight the Same Trout Canelo did. So shut up already Lara

I like Lara but I don't know if I agree with him here. He needs to look at his film tape and understand why he struggles with pressure fighters. Canelo stopped Angulo's forward momentum immediately and threw crushing shots to the body and head. He also threw punches in bunches and got off first and also threw a good jab that night.

Landy, on the other hand, continuously retreated from Angulo. He rarely threw body punches or sat down on his punches (except the straight left). Lara's fighting style gave Angulo confidence that his will could be imposed and earn him a victory. Canelo snatched Angulo's confidence in round 1.

It is true that Angulo did take a lot of punishment in his fight with Lara but the style clash was a major factor in the difference between Angulo's performances.
