    When Lara full on turned his back and power walked to the opposite corner of the ring I immediately thought, damn this is what my facking 60 bucks went to? Both men came up short, neither was able to establish themself as the boss in a similar way the Bradley/Alexander was an odd clash of styles.

    You can't blame Lara too much because he understood the danger in lingering close to the pocket. I personally felt he wasn't making Canelo fight his fight(the way he toyed w/Trout), it was borderline survival mode and that's why I'm conflicted with justifying a Lara win. The two of them should have taken home an L tbh.. piss poor performance on both ends.

          I have no problem with movement in boxing. But can you throw a couple combonations with that movement? He had Canelo beaten and gave it away.

            Exactly,, Lara gave it away by just moving and not throwing.. Algieri threw a lot of combinations vs ruslan, Lara needed to do the same with canelo, especially since canelo really wasn't using head movement unlike he did vs trout..

            Just watch Floyd vs canelo, you will see Floyd make him miss and make him pay with a counter..
            Lara would make canelo miss but never followed up with counters and made him pay

              Finally watched it this morning on YouTube if anyone hasn't seen it but at times it was boxing yes after about the fourth it was more running and pitty patin a lot of the so called jabs he was landing were partially blocked very few actual clean hard shots tho both landed about the same when it came to actual hard shots landed to the head and Canelo's were the hardest and sent Lara into retreat it was a close fight that but I still felt canelo won and people plz stop showing the punch stats to try and prove your point when for so long all you hear is it's some guy clicking a button so that's about as relevant as dog ****. That was not a boxing lesson that was a man who was scared to exchange or even fight for that matter a boxing lesson is rigo doñaire or mayweather canelo this was nowhere close to that. And instead of ***** that one man won a fight that could have gone either is also pointless that's point of a close fight even the show time crew wasn't sure who won it and didn't wanna say because it was that close you should complain why your fighter didn't separate himself from his opponent like a true champion and put all of his skills on display but there's a reason he didn't because he doesn't have all the skills you guys make him out to have he's a very limited fighter we knew canelo had we knew he wasn't some great boxer with fast feet. This was a fight Lara was supposed to shine in and failed to do so. Lara was supposed to pick him apart but couldn't because he can't because he only fights one way and when he gets to a fighter who's as fast or "skilled" he's gonna get iced he didn't even have enough sense to tie up canelo how much ****ing skill does that take? Answer apparently more then he has. Now can please stop mentioning Lara in the same sentence as mayweather and rigo because he proved he has nowhere near the ring iq or skills and frankly he looked like he wanted to quit even his own trainer said we can't quit now he shouldn't of even had to have said that this was the biggest fight of his career and had he performed spectacularly it would have made him a star but he didn't this fight is just like Chavez zibic or whatever his name was lots of pitty pat head shots vs crucial debilitating body shots and body shots won it don't be upset just hope your fighters comes back better works his way and learns to let his damn hands go and maybe every once and while hurt a mother****er not slap him.

                You mean running like Floyd does here?

                    You never watched that fight in it's entirety, Mayweather actually engaged him plenty but found he couldn't hurt Baldomir, even hurt his right hand in trying to do so. At least watch the fight before playing pretend....
