I thought they did a great job! lol That was a bad gash, man; but the bleeding stopped within two rounds. The cut didn't bleed at all for the rest of the night. That's great work, IMO.It was a great punch! That's really one of the only highlights he has from this fight. I had Lara winning the 7th, despite the cut. If it knocked him down, staggered him... the ref had to tell the judge the cut was caused by a punch a couple seconds later. But toward the end of the round, Lara was picking at the cut and stopped throwing, so the momentum was stating to shift. His corner did a bad job dealing with it.Comment

Yeah it definatly is bro but the way ppl make out Lara to be a track star kills me. All Lara did was run but he was still tagging Canelo. And it was only 3 rds. The last rd they both landed 12 punches.I think Canelo outscored Lara in 4 rounds. I could be wrong. I'm too tired to look it up. lol But total punches landed aren't the whole story. The power and effectiveness of those punches also weigh into the scoring, and that's where it gets real tricky. It's all open to interpretation.Comment

Those were the two rounds Lara lost undoubtedly... needed that Rafael Garcia type cut work according to the judges.Comment

I need to re-watch, but Lara was a lot more elusive than usual, if you know what I mean. lol There was one point late in the fight where one of my guests said, "He ran right there!" I had to agree. But those moments were very few.Comment

He ran in the mid rds, 5-8 maybe 9 and then stopped. What he did after was hit and move.Comment

Undoubtedly, Canelo often seems to have one judge strangely biased towards him. Hmmm.... lol
And that's the thing that gets me and many others. Levi Martinez's card was that of a man who filled out his score arbitrarily. Literally, it's like he made his scorecard prior to watching tthe fight. I understand he's being investigated by the NSAC. Shit, man, that was a close fight. A impartial judge might've been what Lara needed to get over the hump.Comment

You're not gonna miss out on much tbh. Oh wait, you gotta be sure to tune into my boy Danny Garcia vs Rodrigo Salalaka August 9th bro. Stellar match up.Comment
