    I saw it, but it skews the results by adding Kirkland as an alternative. :yep

    Personally, although it would be exciting while it lasted, I have Canelo beating Kirkland. At this point in time, I believe Canelo is the better boxer of the two.

    they should rematch so canelo can win more decisively. i just don't think it will happen especially if ppv numbers were as bad as people are claiming. could be possible if they get a better undercard or if its on showtime. unless both fighters can learn to adapt it will be another disappointing fight.

    The undercard sucked in their initial fight.
    If they put Thurman and Wilder on the undercard I think the numbers would be better the next time around.

    True. Just my opinion. I had it a draw.

    So, you prefer Froch-Groves III or Bradley-Provo II? :lol:

    I don't believe either Canelo or especially Lara can be equated to caveman styles.

    Bradley vs Provodnikov 2 is a good idea

    Great crossroads fight, both just lost their titles and had a fun first fight

    do it again I say

    I can't deny that there is a certain appeal to cave man with club head bashing. They are entertaining, but unlike real boxing matches, I rarely watch them a second time.

    i'd rather watch paint dry than Lara run around the ring like a little *****. he even said he'd fight a rematch in the same style. very few want to see that turkey again much less pay for it.

    I want to see which of the two is better.
    So far, it appears that Lara is the better mover/puncher and Canelo is deficient in dealing with movement while accurately punching.
    Whatever was said post fight, I highly doubt a rematach would look exactly the same, for either fighter.

    Agree, the fight would be entertaining, but highly in favour of a Canelo win by stoppage.

    The Klitschos have been banned from American PPV, and for good reason.

    Lara, on the other hand actually out boxed Canelo. The damage to Canelo's face post fight told the whole story.

    In the immortal words of Lennox Lewis when he said, "Just look at the state of his face"!
