    Comments Thread For: Erislandy Lara-Saul Alvarez: Pre-Fight Report Card

    In what has been a trend this summer, we have what appears to be the best kind of even match on paper. Both fighters are in their prime, both have standout talent, and neither can afford a loss.

    In the last two ‘even on paper’ matches, Vasyl Lomachenko routed Gary Russell Jr. and Terrence Crawford waded through a flashy start to thrash Yuriorkis Gamboa. Will we get another decisive outcome on Saturday?

    The stakes are high. This is about more than the future at Jr. Middleweight and perhaps even Middleweight. This is also about behind the scenes drama at Golden Boy Productions and the long-term potential of its biggest draw. Canelo was badly outboxed by Floyd Mayweather, and his passive resistance was hard to ignore. Now he’s got another crafty technician and a chance to keep his ship routed towards the future.

    I'm troubled by the knockdowns Angulo scored against Lara.
    Canelo will land but I now believe that his power is terribly overrated and his pure skill level has not elevated.
    Lara by Split nod.

              I think your thread about Paulie covered that. Yeah Angelo scored KDs but he took a ton of punishment to score them and he finally had to give in.
