    LARA should never be allowed on television again.

    Canelo made this fight watchable.

    There should be a ban on all Cuban boxers on television, let them fight in small hall shows and get paid like amateurs if they want to fight like that too.

    It was like a home fight for Canelo, close decisions were always going to go his way, especially when Lara was running the whole fight.

    Alvarez won this fight, I don't think it was a robbery at all. Lara was barely effective in there, the man landing the serious blows from start to finish was Alvarez. People seem to underestimate and overlook body shots for some reason.

    In what way did he kick his ass? If you say he outboxed him I'll accept that but Lara took more of a beating.

    this was not a robbery. SD to either guy was OK. That is what happens in close fight, which this was.

    Yes they count but one body shot (especially when talking about mostly borderline kidney shots) doesn't equal half a dozen flush left hands on the face.
