He better be, Lara is no joke.

People love predicting KOs but never give an in depth analysis of why such an outcome is possible.

I favor Canelo but he has a hard time with boxers. The Trout fight was a lot closer than the score suggested and he lost a wide marging to Floyd.

Canelo has fast hands but slow legs, he needs you to stand in front of him so hie can shine. Once he is thinking he slows down.

Lara is a very good boxer with a lot of technic. This won't be an easy fight for either guy.

Agree, Canelo can be very stationary. He doesn't move well. However Canelo is an excellent counter puncher and he throws explosive combinations. I think the outcome of this fight will be determined by Canelo ' s gameplan. If he waits on openings I think he will get picked apart by Lara. However if Canelo brings the fight to Lara and controls the ring I think Canelo can deliver a spectacular performance. I do worry about canelos foot speed though and I wonder what size ring they will be in.

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.

On the other hand the agenda was exposed in Canelo's fight with Trout.

Canelo won the fight, but in no way shape or form was the score that wide.

I expect this fight to be very competitive. Canelo has a chance to win this bout. With that said, I think that many are not only underestimating Lara's boxing skill, but his resilience. After each knockdown suffered in his fight against Angulo, he got right back up and effectively went back to work. Not to mention, in Lara's fight against Williams, he had a massive hematoma, yet still whipped Williams' ass.

People just want to **** on Lara. He beat Angulo's ass easily. And won almost all those rounds and stopped the guy.

Yea cotto is a diva I forgot

He's the lineal middleweight champion so he deserves to be the a-side of that fight if it happens.
