    Did Lara run -- "YES" or "No"

    Didn't see a thread on this one question so I'm going to ask..

    This is a "YES" or "No" question.

    Did Lara run?

    Was he moving and being offensive or running and being defensive.

    Unpurist and amateurs of the sport will call it running, but it was a boxing lesson.

        Of course he did, there ain't no sugarcoating it. Even Malignaggi weighed in on how much of it was boxing/ running. Brian Kenny was straight about it and called it running. All that wasn't solely Canelo's inability to cut him off as some would like to believe.

                That's a respectable opinion but it's irrelevant to the topic of whether he ran or not.

                  Here's something I've always stated about boxing ......

                  Boxing should never be reduced to whether an opponent can outrun his fleeing foe. It is a combat sport where skill, offense, defense and experience should be on display - Not the ability to outrun your opponents consistently.

                  Even though I was rooting heavily for Lara, IMHO he ran away from the win.
