    Feel the same. Lara should have known without a KO he was taking the L.

    Every close decision becomes a "robbery".

    I had it Lara 115-113, but I could see a draw or a close Alvarez win.

    117-111 is absurd though

    Canelo is a telegraph puncher ,I saw every punch from miles away ,the guy is being expose every fight ,which is why he wants to stay a 155 lbs his whole career which isn't even a fawking weight class ,these dumb AS$ believes so. Time to move up in weight in take your beatings or quit the sport.

    115-113, anyone claiming robbery is a Canelo hater. From rounds 6-9 Lara didn't work and backpeadled. That doesn't win you rounds. Canelo outworked him and got credit for it.

    Shame Lara didn't, he might have got away with not taking an absolute hammering to the body if he'd been as sharp as you.

    It wasn't a robbery. It was a close fight. Canelo won it because he pressed the action all night.

    i only gave Canelo 3 rounds. two were even, the rest to Lara.

    boring fight with little action, but Lara was stiffed. no doubt.

    but what can you do?? this is the norm now in America.

    he pressed forward landing on nothing but air for most of the fight. at least Lara landed some clear shots.

    what did Canelo land throughout the fight other than a bunch of body shots??

    Will body shots not be scored?

    Takuya Kogawa Vs Yodmongkol Vor Saengthep was a bigger robbery...saying that I don't agree with the 117-111 card which was frankly ridiculous.

    Canelo was punching air and Lara's guard. Yes he was pressing the action, but the first 6 rounds, he did nothing, and he was frustrated.

    Out of all the mexican supporters, i thought you'd see that Canelo was off all night.

    Canelo only connected on 10 less punches (5%) than Lara. If Alvarez was hitting air, Lara wasn't too far behind.

    I don't agree that he was frustrated. Yes, he lunged extensively trying to reach Lara in the first half of the fight but that's only because of how fast Lara is. He obviously knew what he was doing if it all paid off down the stretch.
