Comments Thread For: Lara's Manager Shreds Judge, Talks Post Scuffle, More

Ok so the fight was close and could have gone either way. Opinions are divided. Then he goes on to say that 9-3 for Canelo is a disgrace, but he himself gives a scoring of 8-4 for Lara, which is almost as disparate as the Judge's.

He said 7-5 or 8-4 Lara. 8-4 for either guy is too wide, in my opinion. I had it 7-5 Lara, myself. Whenever I see 116-112 scores for Canelo around here, my regard for that poster's judgement takes a little hit.

What about the fans?

I for one will not pay $60.00 to see a fight where one guy chases another for 12 rounds. I think Canelo won the fight.

I dont mind Lara's style but at least with Rigo/Floyd if they make you miss they make you pay with a counter most of the time. Lara just made Canelo miss and ran away. How can you win a fight like that? I had it 7-5 for Canelo, and im not a huge fan of either guy.

All it takes is one judge bro. Levi Martinez was the hired assassin in this one.

People are rejoicing the "pleasing" style Canelo brought forth. It makes them happy. It's clear as day Lara outboxed Canelo and it doesn't take a genius to see that.
In the end it's about entertaining the dumb masses, not about living up to the sport's integrity.

shout out to your honesty. boxing is now more about pleasing the masses, its a real shame. after watching the fight for a second time i still scored it 115-113 Lara. my pick into the fight was Lara however i was hoping Canelo could get it done. in the end the fighter with the most upside in terms of money making will always get the nod...reminds me of the Whitaker vs chavez sr decision.

had it a draw 6-6 canelo was eating the jab and lara was taking body shots

Yeah man. Gotta agree with Decubas here. I thought the same thing about Levi giving that last round to Lara even though it was a Canelo round just so it wouldn't have looked like even worse of a card. Pathetic and obvious , I'm sure anyone that's on the payroll won't be so blatant in the future .

ThAts what gave it away that last Round he gave to Lara WTf

Good comparison. It's a different age now where you can dissect and people can make their opinions heard immediately. Whitaker clearly won that fight by at least 4 rds. Unfortunately at the time, the excited majority of media darling Chavez refused to acknowledge it.
If you are fan of the sport you will understand Lara clearly won, it was close and not a robbery by any means (beside the BS scroecard), but Lara clearly won.
