Comments Thread For: Canelo, Lara Disagree On Result And Rematch Possibility

[JakeNDaBox]

From the moment the bell sounded to end Saturday's clash between Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Erislandy Lara, the debate immediately began as to who deserved to win their Showtime Pay-Per-View headliner at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas,

The consensus was that it was a close fight with plenty of swing rounds, a theory that was supported on the scorecards. Alvarez claimed a split decision, winning by scores of 115-113 and 117-111, while Lara was a 115-113 on the dissenting card. The three judges only agreed on four of the 12 rounds, which is fitting as both fighters disagreed over who won the fight.

“I came to fight, not to run,” Alvarez said of Lara's unfavorable - but at times effective - stick-and-move style. “If he wants to run, he should've have (signed up for) a marathon. You win fights by landing punches, not by running.” [Click Here To Read More]

No rematch. You got your chance on PPV, and you stole people's money. GTFO out of my life, Lara.

Would not pay to watch Lara running all night again. Canelo tried to make the fight while lara ran away with my money. I hope you never get another ppv fight again Lara. Go back to Cuba.

the thing is lara had all the right tools to dismantle canelo, the bad thing is he didnt. Canelo knew he was getting outboxed so he turned up the pace and worked the body. the reason canelo missed was because lara has superb defence, lara didnt want to engage past the 4th rd. and imo the right man won tonight. like canelo said " i came here to fight"

Of course they Disagree

Runners suck, sweet science my ass, when you run that much and the other guy has to chase you down, it s no longer boxing and all those types that call it sweet science are just a bunch of Jive Turkeys. Boxing, your suppose to use your fisting skills, Track and Field is another sport entirely.

Canelo had to literally sprint towards Lara, thats how bad his running was.

[Divine Hammer]

Yes there needs to be a rematch and no Levi blind Martinez next time.

[Build That Wall]

Lara won. Just like how rigo beat donaire. except Canelo won 3 rounds. Donaire only won 1 round.
