This was horrible for boxing

Why was this on PPV?

Okay I admit I was rooting for Lara and was disappointed he moved so much but in my opinion anyone who's not a blind Canelo fan are going to see a robbery or a close fight that normally would need a rematch. It does not matter how ugly it is and how much a guy runs it just should not win you rounds as even in the judges handbook it clearly states coming forward does not count as effective aggression.

In the end I'm dissapointed in both fighters and Canelo is probably going to be happy with this win since he came forward and landed shots on Lara's elbows. It was ugly as **** but Lara won it in a boring way that makes me not even be a fan of him anymore. Either way this all my opinion but this "superstar" Canelo just won a fight by landing less than 20 headshots lol it was a bad night for boxing.

I still think we need a rematch I mean Dawson Hopkins 2 we knew would be boring but it was needed at the time. **** though I'm pissed Lara didn't try to make it more decisive the fight could of gotten very exciting.

Stopped right there, that's exactly why I don't want to see it again.

Because Canelo is "the next PPV star"!

I had canelo winning 115-113...

Dont want to see a quick rematch, but down the road i would be ok with it.. let lara pick up a few wins, and let canelo chase some big fights like cotto.. a year or 2 from now i would be down for a rematch, just not right away

I think this probably makes the most sense realistically it was just too boring to market an immediate rematch especially when there's bigger paydays out there for Canelo. It just sucks that not only was this boring but it was not decisive and the boxing world will continue to disagree on who's the best at 154.

You don't believe that for a second ...

Oh yes I do !!!

Lara was AWFUL.

He ran for 5 rounds and didn't sit down on a punch until...Round 11.

He made Rigo seem exciting,that is how bad he was.
