Lara looked like a figure skater ! im glad they didnt give him the win. At the same time canelo is nothing special, but we work with what he have i guess

Lara should shift into marathon. ecpecting to win in boxing but more on running.

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

Right, because it's about standing still and letting the harder hitter beat on you, huh? *smh*

So in other words, it should have been a draw?

Yes , you won and there should be a rematch .
Hit and not get hit , swim and not get wet . This is boxing ; the sweet science .

Lara you lost a close fight, man up and get with reality.

STFU Lara you squandered your opportunity with the way you ran, and avoided fighting. The biggest opportunity of your life and you have no one to blame but yourself. Canelo stepped up and gave you the fight when he didn't have to and no one else would.

You lost! Stop crying and blaming everyone else, you need to look in the mirror and take responsibility for the horrible performance in the biggets fight of your life.

Move on and be thankful you got a shot. No one wants to see Canelo chase you around the ring again all night. Move on!!!!!!

Why should there be a rematch if he won????????????????????????

If i was Canelo or Oscar i would be telling Lara to go f**k himself with the way he is acting, sure the decision could have gone either way but disrespecting your opponent and talking trash is not the way to get the rematch. Canelo gave him the opportunity and Lara should have done more. This is not the amateurs and it's obvious the judges like fighters that come forward and show aggression. Lara needs to understand this, i really don't like him after the way he has acted. He lost a worse decision to Paul Williams anyway.

Problem is, Lara, that you were the one that gifted the fight by not doing enough, it was an easy fight to win for you, the few times you tried combos(jab, straight left, right hook)you nailed him, you had the chance to make him pay every time he swung wildly and missed, but you didn't. I had you winning by two rounds, but am biased being Cuban, you didn't do enough after running your mouth, you just ran in the ring too, and guess what, it's a good thing you lost, like Abril lost, hopefully some other Cuban boxers learn from your mistakes; it's called prize boxing, it's entertainment, you don't provide it, period.

Coñooooooo!

That's it, my brother. I agree: Lara won, but he didn't deliver. Unfortunately, like Bringer said, Landy's probably not going to learn from this experience. He thinks the world owes him something. I'm beginning to see him that way.
