Lara landed 10 more punches and had a 27% connection percentage to 23% for Canelo. The boxing media was split about 50% on who won. It was a close fight.
Canelo landed much more power punches. Lara was pure jab merchant that night. Punch percentage are already close. 23-27 are similar numbers. And main difference is Lara landed most of his punches first 4 rounds. Then, Canelo won all other rounds sadly. 8-4 Canelo according to my multi-watchings+slow motion.
Jennings was 6th Ring ranked at the end of 2014 and 9th ranked at the end of 2015. Ortiz demolished him. [url]https://boxrec.com/media/index.php/The_Ring_Magazine%27s_Annual_Ratings:_2014[/url]
Oh, okay. So he does have one single top 10 win, albeit #9 and had lost his previous fight to a champion who’d lose his next fight.
Jennings was probably 6th when Ortiz KO'd him, losing to Ortiz would have resulted in Jennings falling a few places. He lost to 21 win streak P4P No.2 Wlad via decision in his previous fight (his only loss at the time) which was hardly a disgrace. Ortiz hasn't got a resume stacked with top wins but let's be fair: he KO'd a top 10 fighter, he's never lost to anyone save Wilder, he never had a gift from the officials and the dominance of his 6-7 best wins compare well with those of rival contenders/champions against the same opponents. Hearn also viewed him as being so dangerous in late 2016 that he signed Ortiz to protect AJ from him.
This would be a great match up, if Calzage can get into his rhythm he has a chance, but if it goes to the judges he loses of coarse.
