    Remember Gary Russell Jr only landing

    83 punches over 12 rounds and Lomachenkos defense was masterful and Russell was a disgrace landing so few shots?

    That is right he was mocked over his pathetic accuracy and how he seemingly expected to win a fight.

    Forward on a few weeks later CANelo lands 94 over 12 rounds, most of which was actually on the elbows. He was limited to landing 20% over all and still he won!

    Unbelievable.

    Oh Lara didn't throw enough, Canelo threw less than 30 more!

    Floyd vs Maidana, Lara vs Canelo. I just don't understand why your scoring criteria's constantly change.

      Lol.....Lomachenko had moments where he was going beast mode on Russell and on the verge of stopping him, ripping him with power shots.

      Yeah....that didn't happen here. Horrible comparison.

        As bad as Canelo looked IMO, Lara didn't throw enough. If he just upped his punch output a bit more, he probably wins



        That said, I think Lara is/was just a tad bit overrated on here as well.


        He couldn't even beat Vanes

          Still more of this fight-to-fight comparison crap? Unbelievable.

            Rounds 1-3 was clear Lara rounds, agree?
            Rounds 10 & 11 was too, agree?
            Forget the swing rounds and tell me how most of these scorecards I am seeing are even possible when one fighter won AT LEAST 5 clear cut rounds.

            You might think each elbow punch and a swipe of thin air overrules 3 or 4 clean headshots, I assure you it doesn't.

            Lara won this fight man.

                what are you talking about

                GRJ threw 806 punches
                Canelo + Lara threw 801 punches


                near perfect

                  My point was showing how NSB changes on a weekly basis and just spouts any old sh(t to suit their agenda.

                  One week their favourite fighter/one they have money on won because the other was running and he landed the harder shots.
                  The next week they've bet against a runner so change their criteria to he landed the harder shots and pressed - despite being outboxed to ****.

                  The only people who had Canelo winning are Floyd fans thinking it'll somehow make Floyds win look better or Mexicans who are blinded by country of origin.

                  Why can't you guys just not mock judges when you are as incompetent as they are and are incapable of keeping it remotely neutral?
                  Why can't fans just keep it ****ing real and have the common decency to admit their guy lost?

                    Yes, if we ignore everything else and just focus on the numbers.

                    But if we look at the subjective aesthetics of both fights, it's comparing apples to oranges. Lara didn't land anything remotely close to as effective as Lama did to Russel.
