    i have to call it how i see it.

    this guy did not deserve the win. they say lara fights like an amateur...but it was canelo who was swinging and missing horribly. it was canelo who was throwing several low blows with no warning. it was canelo who could NOT cut the ring. it was canelo who just followed lara around like a robot eating jab/cross after jab/cross with very little defense. i saw no adjustment. i saw no ring intelligence. i saw no second, third or fourth gear. i saw a guy trying the same **** over and over again and getting the same result. nothing.

    u can't fool the public. canelo is not a star. he is not on the ppv level. it's unfair to charge fans $70 bucks for this ****.

    i don't want to see canelo fight again until he gives lara his rematch.

    Don't worry, they will hide him from GGG until GGG is 40-3 and a LHW. They'll drag him down to 168 @ age 40 and get his career defining win.:lol::lol::lol:

    they need to choose his opposition wisely because his days are numbered. he is incable of cutting a ring to save his life. his punches are so wide and he loads up so much it's ridiculous. there are plenty of guys at 154 and 160 that will beat him.

    butt hurt because the guy you thought would win ran all night and couldn't bring the firepower at the professional level to knock out his opponent or win the fight on the cards?

    lara lost and he deserved to lose, what wouldn't be worth $70 would be being force fed lara as a ppv star with his running style, pot shot, pitty pat shots. i would much rather pay $70 to watch a fighter that comes to fight, exchange, throw power shots and try to win by hurting and knocking out his opponents if possible, not someone that runs the whole fight trying to avoid getting hit all night without putting any hurt on their opponent.

    Canelo has a damn good resume for his age.

    Canelo is actually starting to live up to the hype I'm slowly finally becoming a believer, I would rather be force fed someone who tries to entertain while they win, than someone who has a shitty disposition, and an ugly style that only boxing geeks can love, forced on us.

    Canelo will fight anyone, and actually comes to fight.

    I see it another way. I dont think they're force feeding us canelo. Fans cried that he hasnt faced anyone noteworthy then he goes and fights Floyd, Trout, and Lara. Gotta give him props for that.

    Now what they are doing is trying to force his stardom. Him vs Lara was NOT ppv worthy. They're trying to make him out to be this big star when he's not. Sure he's big in Mexico and amongst Mexican boxing fans, but he's not on the level of a Mayweather or Pacquiao. Far from actually. Many casuals in the U.S still refer to him as that the Red Headed Mexican boxer with freckles.

    He will get a couple of more showcase fights some guys taylor made for him ,he'll look impressive , his hype goes up yet again than they feed him to someone with a pulse and he will get starched . This fight with Lara left more questions than answers ..I'm not building his resume up because he chose to fight him he looked like crap yet again in doing so. it's only a matter of time before he's truly exposed .

    the fight went exactly as i predicted. i knew lara would outbox canelo...and i knew canelo would get the undeserved victory.

    what's really sad is the justification for it all. no one is saying he clearly won...instead they are shitting on lara's style and trying to make a case for why canelo should have won blah,blah,blah...it's ridiculous and proves to me that not everyone cares about integrity. they're content so long as their guy won. i watched the fight in a public place and all the ppl i watched the fight with thought canelo lost. it didn't stop them from celebrating when he got his gift though. that's sad.

    for the record...i'm a fan of boxing first and foremost. i can't celebrate a robbery simply because my country man was given a gift.

    He's fighting his contemporaries and the best at 154 yet not getting blown away and he's not the next legend, but still good enough. He fought Lara, Angulo, p4p #1 Mayweather, back to back and now possibly Kirkland. At 23,24 that's already an impressive resume and he's not in his prime yet. Kid is earning his stripes.
