    I thought Lara gave it away in the later rounds. Veryclose win for canelo, but it's one of those fights.

    No, that's too wide. It was a very close fight.

    I always admired Lara's foot speed

    That kid can run his ass off

    I always thought he could've won gold in multiple events at the olympics

    Huge fan

    I wanted Canelo to win back then (because I gave him credit for taking this fight) but it was hard to score rounds for him. I understand those who say that Lara wasn't throwing enough but other than that even those who though Canelo won should agree that Lara was the ring general. He made Canelo fight the way he wanted, dictated pace and rhythm, and was especially good at setting traps. Canelo tried to work the body but this didn't slow Lara down, so most of these punches were blocked and didn't affect Lara. IMO, very poor decision.

    As I am a huge Canelo fan, you should read my unbiased and honest assessment earlier in the thread.

    I had Canelo winning 7-5 Lara overall didn't fight enough for me tI think he earned a decision his movement made is close to score but overall in a fight like that gotta give it to the aggressor, Lara just ran for the most part of the fight.

    You literally cannot keep the word Golovkin out of your posts. He haunts you!
