Just watched some of canelo Angulo,, canelo throws some devastating combinations, Lara better be on his game cuz I think if canelo hunts him down and connects Lara is going down! Angulo couldn't hurt canelo and Lara went down twice against Angulo, I'm going with canelo via decision or late tko

Did Angulo even swing in the Canelo fight? He looked completely different in that fight than the Lara fight. Plus, Lara made Angulo quit.Originally posted by rors_mc View PostComment

Lara has this fight won hands down. Style makes fights and Canelo's deliberate and cautious pace plays right into Erislandy's hands. Fighters who tend to fight off the front foot in order to pressure/swarm Lara at close quarters or has tremendous stamina, cardio and work rate have historically enjoyed the most success against him; e.g. Angulo and Williams.
However, Canelo doesn't possess any of those criteria mentioned. He has a tendency of backing up and fighting off the back foot like he did against both Austin Trout and Floyd Mayweather in futile attempts to use their over aggressiveness against them by setting up counters against the ropes.
This strategy may have succeeded against a pressure fighter like Alfredo Angulo. However, just as it had backfired against a master boxer like Floyd, I can expect the very same thing to happen against a boxer like Lara; Because much like Mayweather, he fights at distant quarters and won't get caught in the exchanges by trading punches with Canelo. Erislandy is too much of an intelligent fighter to play those kind of mind games with Saul.
I expect when Alvarez attempts to do this, Lara would just get in and potshot him from long range while circling out of harm's way.Comment
