Anyone Else Have Canelo LOSING To Lara???

Yes some people have him losing - the jealous haters

 

Yes.


115-113, Lara

 

Lara clearly won the first 4 rounds, the next 8 were close, but Canelo did too much body punching even tho he's not a real pressure fighter like Molina, Angulo, or Ggg. He also stunned Lara and Lara wasn't able to do jack**** on him. I expected more from Lara and less from Canelo, but got the opposite. Lara is very good, but no Mayweather. I think a draw might of been ok, but Lara didn't do enough to win. Canelo was having his way from 5th round on. Canelo edged it, but they equal fighters in my eyes. Lara needs to go after Jacobs, Saunders, Andrade, or the Charlos to take a belt and get Canelo's attention. Lara has nothing to offer at this point. 115-113 Canelo

 

Clear win for Lara IMO.

 

it should have been a draw, Lara did next to nothing in the second half of the fight,

 

"Next to" but not exactly nothing. He still defended incredibly well, even though his output dropped (but his connect percentage was still higher).

Canelo is the one that spent long stretches accomplishing quite literally nothing, try as he might.

 

I had Canelo by 1 or 2 points if I can remember.

Lara only had himself to blame very negative throughout.

 

It is, though, if you land that occasional flicking jab and your opponent lands nothing. You don't get points for defense, but you don't get them for ineffective aggression either. One guy being negative and landing a pot shot once in a blue moon > the other guy chasing & whiffing nonstop and touching his opponent even less than he's getting touched by those pot shots.

 

I thought Alvarez edged it on power punching and aggression, both landed basically the same number of punches at the same connect rate only one guy pressed the fight with hard shots the other after two rds jabbed and ran.

Close fight Split decision was a good call, anybody saying Lara won clearly explain how? That was not great showing at all.

 

I had Canelo narrowly winning. It was a close fight, I think Canelo's body work and overall edge in power punches was the difference.

Lara was just too negative throughout the fight. In terms of ring generalship it was a poor performance from Lara, his constant retreat made him look like he was trying to survive rather then win the fight and that's effects how people score fights.

 

It shouldn't, though. At all.

 

I've watched the fight 3 times, 2 times without the commentating

Canelo was hitting air most of the time, but still did enough, especially body shots, in the second half of the fight, to come back, as you said, Lara's low output is probably what cost him the decision even if he was the more accurate fighter, anything from a draw to a close Lara pts win is fair, but I don't really see how anyone can make a case for Canelo winning
