Comments Thread For: Canelo Focused on 'Tough' Lara, Not Cotto Clash

This is going to be a GREAT fight!


I got Lara by UD. 9 rounds to 3.

Jaja. Is funny a year ago Canelo fans saying a fight with Lara wont generate revenues and expectation. Clearly it was an excuse at that time to Canelo fight bums at that time. Anyway my compliments to Canelo for accept the fight but watch out the excuses in the future.

You are a bogus poster, man. How can anyone who knows the sport of boxing, see Canelo as a hype job? This dude has serious skill! You aren't honest saying things like this. How long have you been watching boxing? Last time I checked, it was Lara who was exposed to some degree against Angulo. What did Canelo do to Angulo? Oh, wait. That fight didn't tell you anything, ey? You are the reason Canelo took the challenge against Lara. Hopefully you go away after the fight and he wins. I didn't say that Canelo reminded me of Oscar in the ring, I said he has the same mentality of wanting to be a great fighter. Learn to read.

He does have some skillz, but not the PPV hype Job GDP is making him out to be, not yet. The guy is way to young and really never had a amateur background. There are things you can not learn unless you are in the ring alot, he was not. when its all said in done Canelo will have about 100 fights in his career.

He just is not there yet. July 12th he will be beat buy a guy with a great armature background and a great boxing pedigree.

His record will look like this:

100-14-1

I don't care about triangle theories. That wasn't my point. Canelo is going to fight Lara the same way Angulo did but with intelligence. He won't be wreckless. Put your real cash on Lara and you are going to lose. Canelo may even stop him.

You can say Lara will fight Canelo the same way Trout did, but less recklessly. You can also say that Canelo won't know the scores after every four rounds so he can't cruise to a victory. I don't see Canelo stopping Lara. He may beat him by knocking him down a few times though.

Amateur pedigree......

The Cubans are natural born fighters. That is also a fact. You know who else has that amateur pedigree? Yuriorkis Gamboa and Guillermo Rigondeaux. So you think Lara's amateur background will be the difference?

Doesn't matter. Scored cards are already filled out


If Canelo can get a 114-114 against Floyd then Lara will be robbed.

Canelo will be embarrassed

Obviously yes. Both of those guys are undefeated as well.

SMH @ cats still sleeping on Canelo.

I'm with you dog. I don't think they're sleeping, they know what time it is. Their just bitter haters, jealous I suppose...

50/50 fight, best fight made right now with Lara and Canelo.

This should do a million buys, but sadly no one knows any better.

There's no way you can't give respect to Nelo for what he's doing with his career!! Not running from any percieved boogyman and wanting to fight big threats..Even though I feel GBP held his hand and safely guided him to this point, he still made it clear he wants to be great, demanding fights with P. Williams, Kirkland, ect....I just think that lara is going to give Nelo the business and I hate to say it but I think unless Lara k.o's Nelo he won't win especially with a huge Mexico vs Puerto Rico ppv fight lingering with Cotto, they won't want to stop the Nelo show for the Cuban. Anyway great fight right here
