If u can't win by running

[leathernvouges]

U sure as hell can't win by chasing and missing, I wish it was 1 way if this would have been Floyd he would've won by blowout, now for those who love brawlers I just can't see 9-3 in no way

Yes you can. The scoring criteria is "effective aggression".

But even if there is no effective aggression, ineffective aggression is still better than ineffective running, BY DEFAULT.

Exactly. Aggression is only effective if you actually land in the process. Otherwise it's as much good defense and ring generalship as it is pure aggressive pursuit.

So if the running was so ineffective, why did Lara land 4 times more shots to the head?

I was addressing the TS's general hypothetical, which wasn't fight specific.

But as for your question, it's irrelevant. I wasn't micro counting who landed more on what. I watched the fight and saw one guy trying to throw punches with a guy who wouldn't stand still for 2 seconds, and the other guy running and throwing punches while on the move, which looked like one punch per minute to the general layman who isn't paid to judge a fight but instead paid to watch the fight on PPV.

At the end of the day, the right guy won in a quote "close", "competitive" fight. If you're gonna fight like Lara, you better be executing in a way where everyone undisputedly thinks that you won instead of the fans being split on it (I.E. Wlad Klitschko. For all the hugging, boring talk --- unless he is getting knocked out, there is no dispute who won the fight.)

No, Mayweather is capable of combining defense with offense, and did so against Nelo. Lara literally took ****ing rounds off. He only has himself to blame for the loss. I had it 7-5 Nelo.

Of course if one guy is running, the guy chasing and missing wins.

It's a boxing match. The guy making some attempt to box wins. The guy doing boxing-esque poses 10 ft away loses.

Get it?

This fight wasn't that clear cut, but some of the pro-Lara arguments are absolutely nonsense.

LARA lost more than Canelo won !!

[niceyboo3]

Mayweather boxes Lara Ran!! We should all be happy Nelo won because a Floyd Lara fight, OMG would be super boring..Hell even the build up. We should all go to Canelo's birthday party and thank him from saving us from that ish...
