    Willie Pep won a round without throwing a punch and people are saying Lara ran

    Bert Sugar RIP, always smiled when he remembered Willie Pep winning a round without throwing a punch. Yet Lara shows great footwork and people say he was running throughout the fight. WTF!

      You don't get points for "footwork" if you're not using it to set up counters. Lara's plan was mainly about minimizing Canelo's offense, but he forgot to create his own.

          This is a myth. Willie Pep never won a round without trowing a punch.
