Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas Angry: Lara Won, Promoter's Fighter Got It

[knotty150]

It was a close fight but I think Canelo won. It was really frustrating to watch Lara at times; he absolutely bossed the fight for the first 3 rounds then all of a sudden his punch output just dropped completely, and I don't think it was entirely down to Canelo making an adjustment and gunning for his body. I can appreciate the guys defensive prowess as much as anyone, but defense alone does not win fights. If he'd maintained a steady but low punch output throughout the fight, I think he'd have coasted to a comfortable decision. The fact he chose to turn off almost completely lost him a fight I think he really could have won had he come in with a better game plan.

He did win.

Sorry, but some nice body work was all Canelo managed in the whole fight. He spent most of the night punching air/missing the target by miles or hitting arms while taking clean shots in return.

Lara should have been more active to make it clearer, but he still won the fight.

Teddy Atlas, expert analyst for ESPN's Friday Night Fights, explained why he believes WBA 'regular' junior middleweight champion Erislandy Lara (19-2-2, 12KOs) should have won a decision over Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (44-1-1, 31KOs) last Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

He felt Canelo was exposed at times by Lara, in the same way Floyd Mayweather Jr. was able to exploit Canelo's weaknesses last September at the same venue. Canelo was unable to land anything of note when Lara controlled the distance and accurate punches.

I thought Lara won too but Teddy should know better, this is professional boxing. The problem with Lara was, he didn't walk the talk. Canelo fought like he wanted to get the belt from Lara..but teddy is still dum b azz!

9-3?

All I have to say is me being Hispanic I look at boxing totally different. And I think ALOT of Hispanics/latinos do also then the rest of the world. To me the guy coming forward pressing the fight, looking for the fight is the one winning the rounds. I mean if the other guy is not doing anything to stop you from coming forward, then he's really not scaring you or stopping you from trying to attack. then how are you losing the fight? IF you're in the street and you keep coming forward and not taking any damage, I don't think you're losing the fight in anybody's eyes right? So maybe with a last name like Martinez. Maybe that's why he scored the fight the way he did. When I scored the fight the first time I had it 9-3 for Canelo. Watching it a 3rd time I had it 7-5 for Canelo. So ya the RIGHT GUY WON PERIOD.
