Paulie's Take on Canelo-Lara

[Beercules]

Great breakdown.

IMO I don't see Canelo pressuring for a full 12 rounds, he will start fast, Lara will start slow. I also think Canelo is going fight Lara's fight somewhere in the middle rounds

Most of the "experts" seem to think Canelo wins a decision. Icha just made a thread about it. I don't see it. I think Alvarez needs a KO.

I saw that. Kenny Porter has Lara by UD at least.

Not sure what the experts base their opinion on.

great insight from Paulie. It's interesting to hear him say that Lara will even walk Canelo down at times in the fight.. call me crazy but I see that too. Especially with Shields taking note on Canelo gassing in the later rounds. I think Lara will be slow during the early rounds and turn up during the middle rounds then finish off the fight strong. He will counter Canelo the first half then attempt to walk him down once Canelo slows down...

Don't see Lara walking Canelo down as much as him allowing himself to go to the ropes to get a rest try to make Lara miss to counter.

Lara coming to Canelo actually being the one to close the distance doesn't sound like a good idea but maybe it'll work.
