Quit talking about weight you guys, theres no excuses on this fight. You sign to make weight, you make it and the fight is on.. no excuses from either side! Whoever wins this fight is THE best 154, not named Mayweather.

But this fight isn't at 154

I dont think it will be a rios/alvarado1 type fight i think it will be similar to de la hoya vs quartey..... both fights were exciting in their own rights!!

No, I don't see it as some kind of FOTY brawl either. I just think Lara will be more active than usual, enough to make it exciting enough for most people. Canelo will at least fight the way he always does, which would be good. But, considering the trash talk that's been going on, he might pump it up a little. I'm looking forward to this fight more with each passing day.

MGM Grand, Las Vegas - There was a tense face to face when Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and WBC 'regular' junior middleweight champion Erislandy Lara made their grand arrivals to the venue. They will battle on Saturday night in the main event of a Showtime Pay-Per-View card. Also, three division champion Abner Mares arrived to face off with Jonathan Oquendo of Puerto Rico, and former two division king Juan Manuel Lopez was face to face with undefeated Francisco Vargas.

Neither man looks a damn bit scared now, but Lara looks ready to kill...

Lara looks bigger than canelo. Canelo looks like hes having a hard time making weight he looks smaller than usual.

Vegas benefits

Ronnie Shields looks like he has hit up every buffet on the strip!

Go back and retrack then!! Never said brawl, and toe to toe doesnt mean barrera morales1 type fight either...mayweather/de lahoya and maidana were toe to toe fights....thats not boring to you but that aint "EXCITING" either(rigo vs donaire)! You say outbox and he will fight in normal cautious way, i say canelo will make lara fight in an exciting fight!!! Spin the wheel and take the deal dale dont back out now!! Its only 2 weeks!! Lol

Nah thats what I got from toe to toe. Some brawl type stuff. I'll still give you your green K.

How ****** would I be to take a bet on something that I agree on as far as the fight is concerned? I never said it was gonna be boring nor one sided.

He doesn't look as ****** up in these pics, but he def looks trim. You can tell he is going to (atleast try and) beat Lara with combos and speed.

I like his chances. If he's active and throws punches in bunches I think it's in the bag.

If he tries and go tit for tat like with Floyd, it could get scary.

But either way, I don't think even in a chess match Lara will frustrate him nearly as much as Floyd did.

Almost time! I'm throwing a huge party, I'll be amp'd to the max!

Lol canelo got this. War Neloooo
