red balls ran so far and so fast in the fight he injured his right knee requiring surgery

To the surprise of many, Alvarez accepted a fight with Erislandy Lara, a skillful southpaw, and showed vast improvement as he claimed a split decision on Saturday night before a crowd of 14,239 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena...

"I came to fight. I didn't come to run. You don't win by running. You win by hitting," Alvarez said through a translator. "He definitely has a great jab but you don't win a fight like that by running..."

"Lara didn't come to fight. He's a great boxer, I respect him. But he has to throw more [effective] punches."

Lara, to the surprise of nobody, bitterly disputed the result.

"I 100 percent thought I won the fight," he said through a translator. "I felt I was totally in control. It didn't seem like he was doing anything. I know one thing, 100 percent I made him look bad in front of all of his people. Everyone knows I won the fight, no matter what they say."

Said Ronnie Shields, Lara's trainer, "That's bulls---, they robbed us..."

According to CompuBox punch statistics, Alvarez landed 97 of 415 punches (23 percent), including 73 percent of his power shots to the body, and Lara connected on 107 of 386 blows (28 percent)...

After the fight, Lara continued with the same disrespect toward Alvarez that he showed before the fight.

"I didn't respect him before the fight and that hasn't changed," he said. "I don't respect him now. I want a rematch..."

"I'll give him the rematch," Alvarez said mockingly, "when he learns how to fight."

Oh and let’s not forget his famous commentary on his distaste of Floyd’s style when he fought Maidana. "As far as the fight, what can I say? He kept running the whole night. He didn't really want to engage or take any risks," Canelo said. It’s running against Floyd but ‘movement” against the boogeyman. This is the very same argument Abel has made about Canelo almost to the T. Hypocritical for sure bro...

Sure i agree with Clenelos team but they are acting like Hypocrites...they Called what Floyd did to Nelo "Running" when he dominated him. Also when many people saw Lara outboxing Canelo they called it "Running". But now when the fans see Golovkin winning a fight vs Canelo that was ruled a draw they call it "movement"

Hit and dont be hit...not hit and get hit...

This is like the 2016 election all over again in terms of ******ity

Making a fighter miss almost 500 times and land almost 50% of your power punching??? Ill take those stats.

Canelo hit and made GGG miss A LOT!

Canelo's Coach To Sanchez: Canelo Did NOT Run, It's Movement!

OK! I'll buy it! But the movement was backwards! Just saying!

I don't remember Lara sitting on the ropes egging Canelo to come in??? Lara was suppose to be waybfaster and skilled yet his connect percentages were TERRIBLE!

Look at what Floyd did 2 fights before Lara. That's what a skilled technician can do... Just look at the compubox numbers.

Usyk ran too...all over Abel's other fighter Gassiev.

Ironic how canelo at some point said that floyd & lara ran all night! Knowing that both are by far much more technical & skilled tha he is! But now that he does it he calls it “movement” not to mention that G did not do the best work at cutting the ring.

X2 I guess I didn't have to read far on this thread to find comments similar to what I was thinking. Canelo is being a hypocrite. It is obvious he changed his total game plan, style, and fight strategy to avoid GGG's power. I guess he fought smart, because standing toe to toe with GGG isn't a good idea.

GGG does need to cut off the ring better, and be a bit braver himself if he wants to KO Canelo. He himself fights differently when it is against an opponent he doesn't respect, like Vanes.

I hope the verdict is KO, so no controversy exists. Canelo is already ahead 118-110 on one card.

Call it running, or call it movement. Either way, Canelo was losing rounds doing it. Also, if i recall, this is the same guy that was telling Canelo to stand in the center of the ring
