well, when Lara went toe to toe and balls to the wall and got the knock down...wow. what can i say. his prefight talk, he really brought it. no running in this guy.
haha a robbery is when the clear winner gets robbed for the victory, like the fights of; Lennox Lewis vs Evander Holyfield 1 Derek Chisora vs Robert Helenius This was a close fight.
Not a robbery at all. It was a very good fight, Lara was negative throughout the fight especially after winning the first three rounds pretty easily. I had it 7-5 to Canelo.
it was a close fight that could've gone either way. in this instance, even a remotely close fight was always going to go canelo's way. i hope the guy who scored 117-111 dies in a fire. cheating scumbag.
It's funny how there are too many different scores for this fight because it sounds like very little happened. Glad I didn't pay for it
7-5 either way was valid. I had trouble giving several rounds to either fighter. My problem is the judge who had it 117-111. Canelo had everything stacked in his favor---ring, catchweight, one judge. When I first saw Canelo at 19, I thought this kid is going to be special. I'm not so sure anymore. He's jut another Chavez Jr. I can't see him moving up 1-2 divisions. His size is HIS advantage.
Damn! Lara was so out of range throughout the majority of the fight that he couldnt land anything meaningful. Running is not ring generalship. Dude was literally runnnig. Anyone could get in there, run around in the ring against an opponent and call it "ring generalship". Even when the ref broke them , lara was already running on break.Even when throwing his basic one-two right down the middle, he was so far out of range that even though he would catch Canelo with the end of his punches, Lara was so out of range his 1-2 had 0 effect. The majority of the fight Lara put at least 5-7 feet between them.What the fk it that sht?! That is a style more suited for the amateurs. Lara should never be on prime time anymore.
And to think this was his biggest time on stage getting paid a million bucks.. Had Lara put more effort and wanted it more,he could have got a fight with Cotto,could have took Canelo's crown,but he was content with barely winning....... All that **** he talked about taking Canelo to school,he might have tutored him with the rounds he was winning but I expected more from him.
drainelo's dome getting snapped over and over... that was coz the referree punched him, not lara. right?
I dunno man, look how far back that left foot goes. I've seen a lot of slips due to water, it didnt look like the foot lost traction, as much as the leg gave out due to the rope being in the way unexpectedly.
Too wide, no way 117-111 for either fighter. But I had Lara winning. I saw it 115-113 for Lara, but I completely agree that the strecht between 6th-9th he really let go a huge chance to seal the deal. But he came back strong in the final rounds (but not as strong as he should have been).
