Foot work + Foot speed =running

[Lineal Champ]

He was running...he needed to throw more punches. You can't win rounds moving the majority of the round with an occasional 1-2...

[BattleAxePurist]

When you force your opponent to literally run along the perimeter of the ring for the majority of every round only to land a shot here and there while you land more telling power shots that's being effective with your aggression.

Its not the Olympics! At the end of the round you ask yourself who you think got hurt more and give it to the other guy! Lara was the one looking like he was slowly getting wore down IMO! Close fight! But Alvarez through most of the power punches! Mainly to the body.

According to hardcore boxing fans.

There were times he appeared to be playing a game of tag......

Lara threw this fight away, all he had to do was throw more punches. He has the tools to beat Canelo but tonight, he failed to use them.

He knew, like some pre-fight knew, that had he tried to stand his ground more, he would have gotten leveled. Whenever CANelo tagged him, it looked like Lara was about to get folded in half. He did what he had to do to SURVIVE...and as we all know, surviving is not winning.

Wooooooohahahahaha

Suppose to use PUNCHES with your footwork, Mayweather make you miss but he also counters and catches you after he make you miss. Lara makes you miss and does...well...NOTHING! He just circles to the middle of the ring and throw NO PUNCHES.

He should blame himself for that loss not the judges

117-111 was a bad score though

Best comment I've read so far tonight!

What Lara was thinking:

(Start of the round) Run, run, run, run, run, "Oh don't forget to throw a combo..." Run, run, run, run, run, "Oh right the combo!" Run, run, run, run, run. (End of the round)

"Running" can constitute "footwork" sometimes if it's used to dart in and out with attacks.

Back pedalling the whole fight is not even footwork.
