I'm sorry - out jabbing your opponent who's digging into the body with power punches does not win a fight. It was a great joy to finally see a fight where body punches were respected by the judges
Body punches should be counted and appreciated just as much as head shots. seeing Tomoki Kameda crack that bodie of the thai boxer is a thing of beauty, and is just as effective as a KO to the head

Ring generalship does count; Canelo should take notes from Gennady. GGG cuts off the ring, Canelo chases people.
I blame Chepo
Stephen "breadman" Edwards of Btalk made a good point on "ring generalship".
Ring generalship in boxing simply means who is controlling the action. The million dollar question is was Lara moving so much because he wanted to or because he had to. I thought he was doing well early also but Canelo as you pointed out came out smoking in round 4. I think Canelo hit Lara with something he didn’t like.
Lara started moving to a point where he looked frantic at certain points where as in the first couple of rounds he looked to have his bearing with more purposeful movement. Although Canelo was missing big I thought he was controlling Lara more often than Lara was controlling him so therefore Canelo was more of the ring general. I only say that because there is never a need to be 10 or 15 feet away from your opponent if you are the boxer. Boxing is not football where the object is to get separation.
You should always be in position to take advantage of your opponent’s mistakes. Lara didn’t counter a lot of Canelo’s big misses. I do believe defense should be scored also and Lara did show some good defense. But I also knew he wouldn’t get credit fighting like that

Originally posted by BIGPOPPAPUMP View PostSome time has passed, and trainer Ronnie Shields is still very confident that his boxer, WBA 'regular' junior middleweight champion Erislandy Lara (19-2-2, 12KOs) did more than enough to beat Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (43-1-1, 31KOs) on July 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Canelo won a twelve round majority decision.
Even with the controversy and fans debating over who deserved the victory, Shields has no expectations of a rematch.
