Just watched Canelo/Lara again...

[Ragnar Lothbrok]

I still think Lara won 115-113 but he didn't fight up to expectations. He gave the fight away by not being more offensive.

of course you thought lara won farakhan jr.

of course you did.

[Weebler I]

I understand that speed is relative to the guy you are fighting, and Canelo is still slow as **** and predicable. Looking fast against Angulo is like being proud your porsche beat a Nissan Sentra, it's expected.

Canelo isn't slow, he's actually fast with good handspeed.

If you want to argue something about him is slow, it's his footspeed.

[Light_Speed]

Canelo's not great but he's a good fighter. If he's so limited then how does he keep beating these slick boxers? Even if you think he lost to Trout and Lara, the fact that he was competitive means he has some skills at least. There are guys who don't look special but still manage to get the job done, like Froch who's #5 on your P4P list.

Funny how all the "good" boxers are afraid to mix it up with this "limited" fighter Canelo. What's special about him is the power and fluidity of those 4-5 punch combo variations, the uppercuts, the jab, the punches. Of course he wasn't able to show that off against Lara back peddling tough all night.

So instead of missing upstairs all night like he did against Mayweather, he ripped to the body all night. That's what he learned from the Mayweather fight. The body doesn't move.

of course you thought lara won farakhan jr.

of course you did.

Really? Farrakhan Jr? Oh, I'm sorry am I interrupting you masturbating to your Hitler posters!

Keep your comments to yourself inbred. This is just a boxing site, no need to get all aryan on me.

I watched it again myself and I think Lara won. But he could have made it even more convincing if he didn't lapse in the mid rounds. I had it a draw the 1st time, but this time I thought Lara actually won the 12. Canelo did come out strong in the beginning but Lara put that round away with the solid counters and lead lefts easily.

My new score card.

1. 9-10>Lara
2. 9-10>Lara
3. 9-10>Lara
4. 10-9>Canelo
5. 10-9>Canelo
6. 10-9>Canelo
7. 10-9>Canelo
8. 10-9>Canelo
9. 9-10>Lara
10. 9-10>Lara
11. 9-10>Lara
12. 9-10>Lara

I just watched it again as well seen the fight in person the fight was close but you have to understand those body shots canelo was throwing did not land clearly.Lara landed more and at a better percentage. Canelo was eating left hands since round I . canelo didn't do nothing but try to box I'm glad mayweather and lara exposed canelo and I hope every fighter does the same as well you'd be a fool to stand there and trade with him.but Oscar has to do everything to save GBP

of course you thought lara won farakhan jr.

of course you did.

Why you mad doe?

[Mr.Fantastic]

And wow... Lara just gave that fight away didn't he, I had Canelo winning the first time and this time a draw. Not only did Lara stop doing anything (I think the body shots had a lot to do with it) but Canelo is so limited as a fighter I don't know why people think he is the "future" of boxing. Firstly, Canelo is slow as hell and has absolutely no concept of what cutting the ring is. Secondly, why did he not fight the entire fight like he did that 4th round?

The 4th round was the only time he showed anything "special" to me, those lunging shots at least cut the ring. Also, I just can't be how slow Canelo actually is and how he has no clue on how to set anything up, he is a very limited fighter. All that being said I think he still deserved the nod but only because Lara did nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing once he got that cut over his eye. Usually I don't belive in the "guy trying to make the fight" argument but in this fight it certainly fit. Lara and Canelo both need some new trainers but at this point... neither one is anyting special, they both need a lot of work. Personally Canleo has a higher ceiling than Lara, that guy is scared to be hit and does NOTHING but run. I'm drunk now and I was watching the fight, (hey it's saturday) but in reality neither guy deserved that win.

Canelo is faster than you think and he's not limited. He's not a pressure fighter you baboon!
