    Because if you call yourself one tune and claim you're gonna knock everyone out and then box like that against a 40 year old opponent you've made yourself look silly.

    Now when is Keith gonna be challenging for a strap?

    Lara was scared to death and it was obvious....he made an ass of himself that night....even if people thinks he deserved to win....do you really in your heart believe that is the style to fight when trying to beat someone of Canelo's stature......Lara wasn't the house fighter... he had no paid off judges....he owed it to himself to take the title from Canelo.....he lost the fight based on not trying to win...

    Eitherway you look at it there is a scoring criteria that must be upheld in boxing. According to that scoring criteria Lara won the fight. Say what you want, the only fool that night was Canelo, off balance and swinging at air all night.
