Never.

I got Lara by decision.

Never.

I got Lara by decision.

And that's what makes this place bearable.

I have a differing opinion, and I still think you're okey dokey for a limey green toof.

They are gonna be discussing the canelo vs lara fight.

here is my breakdown:

power - canelo
body punching - canelo
chin - canelo
combinations - canelo
variety of combos - canelo
Inside game - canelo
fighting on front foot - canelo

Hand speed - close
Activity - even
defense - ???? but lara does use feet better for defense

fighting on back foot - lara
stamina- lara
timing - lara
foot speed - lara
stamina - lara
boxing iq - lara
confidence - lara
style match-up - lara

STAMINA will play a big role in this fight

Canelo only has experience vs one top level southpaw in trout

Lara will be in the position to throw and land more than Canelo

Canelo will be fighting on the front foot but Lara will prefer this. The Cuban will try to keep off the ropes.

Trainers. The Great ronnie shields is in Lara's corner . He has trained Tyson , Holyfield and Whitaker. This is an advantage for erislandy.

FOOTWORK will play a big role also.

Lara also has the reach advantage.

I truly believe this is a bad style match up for canelo

But credit must go to the Mexican for taking the challenge and not wanting to fight for the paper belt

Canelos foot movement when trying to close the gap to punch isn't good enough to beat lara

angulo is more agressive than canelo
angulo will take one to land one , canelo wont
canelo thinks too much to beat lara

i must admit lara does not fight well going forward, he is a counterpuncher, molina made lara come forward at times and it disrupted lara and confused him
