    he ran away from the victory he knew damn well they wouldn't give him a close fight why didn't he put his foot on the gas.

      I had it 10-2 Canelo. Judge had it, I guess I could see 117-111 if you want to he nice to Lara.

        Although i'm not even sure it was a robbery, but i can see how he won. If he had just thrown a few more punches in each round then he would have clearly won (and probably still not god the decision).

        It was a hard fight to score and an awful fight. If Lara did lose, then i think he lost it himself rather than Canelo deserving the win, if that makes sense.
        I agreed with you a 100%, although the rounds that Lara won were clearly than those of canelos, but they have a judge already in their pockets, he saw the fight 117-111, he only gave Lara 3 rounds, again, I think Lara fought too cautious and should had thrown more punches, but there is no way canelo won that fight on his own merit.

          he's just not a professional boxer. he boxes like he's in an amateur fight. get ahead with points and coast. it doesn't work at the very top level, and his performances against angulo, vanes, molina, and canelo all underline that.
          angulo? I agreed with you vanes, Molina and ginger, but he made angulo quit

            Robbery. The most overused word by boxing "fans".

              he ran from angulo and ended up on the ropes eating shots. a professional takes advantages of the opportunities provided and does his work from teh center of the ring. lara proved in that fight that he didn't have the professional mentality needed to outclass angulo the way he should, and it led to him getting dropped twice and eating lots of punches he should have never taken.

              that same amatuer approach, to basically retreat until you feel the ropes, will get him absolutely destroyed against golovkin, and it lost him the fight against canelo.

                wasnt a robbery, the ducker won that one fair and square. its boxing, not tag and run, lara was beyond negative in that fight.

                  because he can't. i've watch every pro fight that lara has on tape, and he just doesn't have that professional mentality to take advantage of his strengths for damage. he uses his speed and accuracy for points. it's all he knows how to do with it.

                  it's a shame, because the guy has a huge reach, good power, very good speed, and he's got a lot of skill. he just came out of the amateurs too late and with too much of an amateur mentality.
