Had it a draw.




Ugly fight and very tough to score live

Same here, agreed.

Anybody that says that Lara was out righted robbed or Canelo looked great in this fight are full of sheit.

Lara did not do enough to win this fight and Canelo looked like crap he really needs a whole new corner/trainner/coach etc.

Damit305 time to accept that this traitors to Cuba didn't win not only did he not win the fight but he let down his country and he abandoned it.

Luckily there is guys like Lomachenko, Luke Campbell, Anthony Joshua who are trying to convert to the pro style

I've been saying that over and over in the aftermath of this fight. If Lara doesn't change his approach, he'll never win the big ones. Never. Sure, he'll outclass inferior competition, but he'll never again see, much less win on, the big stage.

Here's the thing though, IMO, a fighter's style is closely tied to their physical and cognitive attributes. Keeping in mind, strenghts and weaknesses can also be relative to one's weight class, and specifically one's opponent.

Lara not only fights the way he does because of habit, but out of necessity. He's not a big, strong, or huge punching jmw. For all we know, he might even be chinny. Also, he's fast, but not freakishly fast either.

Rigo, who's absolutely outstanding, isn't really active either. Although he's more skillful than Lara, one thing I think some are overlooking is the fact that p4p he's faster, and most importantly he's a very big puncher for that weight class; making opponents think twice about rolling up on him like that lol.

Canelo in my opinion!

[Jovi KO]

who won the fight?

It was really a close fight, but Canelo looked frustrated because he couldn't hit him like he wanted to. I had Lara winning a close one. But one judge really score the fight 117-111 Canelo?
