Canelo vs Lara, who won?

[siablo14]

7-5 Ca$hnelo. One of the worst fights I've ever seen though.

After Ca$hnelo split Lara's eyebrow in the mid-rounds Lara ran like Fidel Castro was chasing him. Viva Fidel!

Viva El Comandante!

Canelo, you have to land punches to win fights.

That's why your boyfriend could only manage a draw... he couldn't land clean

Canelo won. And this is coming from a Lara fan.

Canelo and easily. Nobody actually thinks that boring banana vendor Lara won.

Ironically if you think Canelo won this fight then you have to think he lost the Golovkin fight because he fought the same way against Golovkin as Lara fought against him....

canelo won 115-113

I thought Lara was outboxing him but he was too inactive at times so he gave rounds away. If lara was just a little more active he would've won.

This. Lara was winning, but he allowed Canelo to come on strong in the last third and take rounds because he thought he’d done enough. To me it was a classic case of a Cuban not understanding professional boxing culture, because they didn’t grow up in it. They don’t seem to realise fights aren’t scored on punches alone, like amateur contests - close rounds can be won by pressing the action. They also don’t seem to understand that professional boxers are expected to entertain and not do the minimum needed to win. This is coming from someone who was supporting Lara, and I’m not really a fan of Canelo. I was really frustrated, I respected Canelo for showing a champion’s grit to grind it out, but Lara threw it away by coasting. Similar to De La Hoya v Trinidad I suppose.

Canelo won 2 of the last 3 rounds once he started blocking Lara's flurries and scoring to the body....plus he never let Lara put that Cuban head lock on him and all that running by Lara was no longer strategic. 115-113 Alvarez.

There should be an extra question: if you voted for Canelo, are you Mexican or of Mexican heritage?

Canelo, you have to land punches to win fights.

That logic IMO supports the case of a Lara win lol. He's the one who actually landed punches, while Canelo mostly landed on Lara's elbows and forearms.
