    I feel as if the Lara sympathizers are confusing the scoring system between the two.

    Does Lara not realize that there is a huge diffrence between the pros and the ams?


    Even fighters from his own camp were saying Canelo won, and were critical of Lara's activity level.

    Out of 89 media score cards 34 had it for Canelo, 30 Lara and 25 draw, seems no one got an ass whopping but rather a close fight that could have went either way.

    over 300 amateur fights, Ronnie ****EN shields as your coach....and you couldn't outbox a flat footed fighter that wasn't cutting off the ring ????

    something tells me those body shots got to him early, and all lara wanted to do was finish on his feet....

    I just got off the phone with my cousin in Cuba and they said he ran so fast it looked like Canelo was in the ring by himself.

    They said they're calling him the blur

    Yes, there is a big difference. However, the main scoring criteria is still clean, effective punching. Neither fighter had much of an advantage in that category. The scoring in boxing is subjective. The way this fight went made it very easy for someone to score the fight for either fighter.

    Ass whooping? Even guys in Lara's camp are saying Canelo won.
