    Saw it only once and thought Canelo won by only one point. I will watch and score it again. However, i felt Lara RAN way too much in the second half of the fight. I think the cut may have been a factor.

He was as badly drained at 152lbs, as Oscar was against Manny. PERIOD. Floyd did not face the same version of Canelo. A fully hydrated and healthy Canelo, DESTROYS Floyd right now!



      It doesn't sound like you even watch the fighters you rant and rave about.

        I thought the Trout fight was more conclusive that Trout won the fight than Lara winning his fight. If anyone got robbed it was him.

          Rarely does Floyd literally run like Lara did. I'm glad to see judges not reward boxers for that pu$$y ass tiny dancer bullisht. I had Canelo by a point but wouldn't have beensurprised to see it go the other way. Calling it a robbery is just being willfully ignorant.

            Good point. Both guys did next to nothing but Austin out landed him enough to take that. I do believe that decision was biased.

              Floyd at least lands punches which result in his conclusive decisions what Lara did was evade and not engage ..

                Lara-Williams was a robbery.

                1. This was not a robbery. Lara used good defense, offense was poor. Canelo's defense was good too, offense was also off but in the very least he came forward. Two guys with poor offense and good defense, one engaged the other one didn't, one landed telling blows, the other landed a good amount of jabs. Who do you give it to, the jabber or the power puncher? Canelo outlanded Lara in pp by 88 to 52, Lara outlanded Canelo in jabs by 55 to 9. IF you like jabs, give it to Lara, if you prefer telling blows give it to Canelo. I gave it to Canelo. Definitely far from a robbery.

                2. Mayweather-Lara vs Canelo comparison: Mayweather outlanded Canelo in every department. Landed almost 50% of all his punches, and kept Canelo at 22%.

                I'm a huge Lara supporter btw, one of my favorite active fighters.

                  Thank god Lara didn't get the decision. The last thing we need is more fighters fighting in that horrendous, Mayweather-at-his-worst inflected style. Floyd's got the gimmick of being a great fighter with one of the most valuable "0" ever. What's Lara's excuse?

                  The truth is, Lara could not cope with the body shot. That, and a pre-determined plan to exploit Canelo's plodding feet, meant Lara was running around the ring. And I mean RUNNING.

                  **** that. That **** ain't boxing.

                      Come on guys,Lara and Floyd are so much the same fighter you could call Lara Floyd and call Floyd Erislandy,don't you's think.


                      I mean the way both fighters move around the ring is like poetry.
