Boxing used to be if the guy who moved backwards didn't score a knockdown - he lost the round. We need to go back to that style of judging; otherwise, the sport will remain marginal. Nobody cares about Lara outside of the internet nerd crowd on here.
He lost to Canelo - plain and simple.

So every boxer should just keep walking forward like a ****** even though he is getting absolutely battered and his opponent is slapping the **** out of him in there... he is still winning rounds ? Then GGG would be unbeatable i guess

this is actually the best post.....
1) let him fight however he wants, the game needs all styles
2) if you don't like it, then don't watch..... that is on him
3) lets not change the rules to favor fighters who are not good enough to prevent themselves being outboxed/outclassed by better fighters
you rule-changers should stick to club fights..... more "action"..... more KO's..... and you see plenty of good scraps if the guys are evenly-matched
but don't expect A-class guys to drop their skills or fight to their opponents strengths

fair call, and not a new criticism
like cell8 said..... that is on him, and will cost him at the gate
he would be less-effective standing in front of his opponents..... and would not win, so would not be a draw anyways

Originally posted by aboutfkntime View Postwhy should expending energy unnecessarily, and offering your opponent opportunities, be rewarded?
they used to be bad things, that were coached out of bad fighters
why should the rules be changed to benefit limited fighters..... who are not that "effective"?
The sport has been shaped already towards certain styles or fighting attributes benefitting more than other styles & attributes so I don't see a problem with switching things up in the future for any reason.

this is how Adelaide Byrd scored.....
if the guy moving forwards is not effective, then he is being outboxed - he lost the round.
you are suggesting a reverse-Byrd, because of your preference in styles
MOST old-school judges would prefer Byrd's approach
I just think she was watching Canelo too much, most likely because she favors/scores for the boxer over the puncher/pressure-fighter, unless the pressure-fighter is actually being effective..... she missed some of what Golovkin was doing, and that could be because his known strengths/tactics were not that evident
