Why does everyone forget Lara dominated Canelo

I thought Lara edged that fight out — edged. I was a little upset at the time because I wanted Lara; but the truth is, Landy didn’t do enough to win. He was in there against the rising face of boxing and didn’t drive it home. Lara decided to ease off the gas in the late rounds, thinking he had the fight on the cards. Always a bad move (just ask Oscar). That fight was close; neither man dominated. Could’ve gone either way, and Canelo, unsurprisingly, got the nod.Comment

I haven’t watched the fight since the night it went down. Your words ring true, although I had Lara up by a hair. Canelo landed some hard shots, and Lara literally ran at times.I didn't forget a damn thing. I saw the fight and thought Canelo won it. He landed by far the harder punches and damn near chased Lara out of the ring. Lara ran almost all fight and punches lose power when a man retreats just as Canelo's punches were much harder because he is a better puncher and was coming hard at Lara all fight. The better braver fighter won and he deserved to win.
Bingo.I had Lara up 5-3, it may have even been 5-2 on my card. But he coasted the last 4 rounds, and Canelo upped his level, and I gave him every one. I love Lara but he coasts too much in fights, and makes fights and rounds closer than they should be. If he was a little more active, he would be so so so good.Comment
