[gmc_rfc_06]

Of course he did.

That fight was a genuine toss-up.

No Chance In Hell

Going to use a old line from watching wrestling back in the day Vince McMahon would say "You've got no chance, no chance in hell" Lol

Lara you where winning nad doing a solid job fighting Canelo. Tagging him with jabs and that straight left. But once you got cut you ran a marathon around that ring. You were scared of exchanging with Canelo but you know you wouldn't have won that fire fight.

Just my opinion if Alfredo Angulo can put you on your A$$ than Canelo was on his way too putting you down.

You had your chance and you came up short. Stay with Al Haymon because a least with him he pays for you to be on TV otherwise you would be like Rigo where no network would touch you.

Canelo would beat Lara much more easily if they fight again. Canelo has improved.

Haven't seen it in a while, but that fight wasn't close. At all. Lara if i am mistaken won like 3 rounds and then didn't do a thing else after. Which is why i will miss FM because most guys don't know how to seal rounds like Floyd does. He will genuinely make the other guy look bad defensively and get clean punches in and do so all night. Guys like Lara don't always do it. Same with Cotto on Saturday, so of course it seems like he wins.

You ran a lot more too. Smh

[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

you didn't beat canelo better then cotto did sorry lara I had you winning the fight but cotto did a much better job keep canelo off him and taking his punches better while landing that jab and body shots

[Build That Wall]

Obviously because you actually beat Canelo

Actually, most fighters do fairly well against Canelo. He doesn't actually do that much butt kicking for such a hugely popular and much heralded new face of boxing. Floyd absolutely paralyzed him. Trout and Lara fought essentially even with him. And the undersized Cotto was able to avoid serious damage, never approaching a stoppage.

short lived face because honestly GGG and even Crusher will have more mass appeal to a diverse demographic of people...Canelo has his core demographic locked down simply due to nationalism and that's bout it... lets face it there isn't a whole lot of love in this country for them these days and if he becomes the face of boxing then the sport will continue on its already downward spiral... I mean the kid with 20lb and 10 yr age advantage couldn't get the crowd pleasing tko then what is left...

[PR ESQ.]

nope just like the golden boy you must engage to win and you didn't engage...

The problem in that fight is Lara ran for the sake of running at times. He could have boxed a lot more and won a clear decision. But he lost because he ran like a prime Haile Gebrselassie. He almost threw that fight away, all he needed to do was throw a few flurries at some points during the rounds.
