Lara can win he just has to stay away from taking too many bodyshots ,which is what you will see Canelo doing early. Mark my word.
That fact that Canelo will come in the same weight as a light heavy puts Lara at a severe disadvantage.
Lara is gonna be Lara. He's going to establish the jab early and use his superior length and craft to create opportunities to land the left hand. The difference we'll see in this fight will be the urgency. I don't believe he'll be content to just sit back and take what Canelo gives him...as he has done in the past. I believe he will use feints more aggressively and possibly even try to walk Alvarez down later in the fight.
He definitely has a shot, and if he wins I imagine it would most likely be through outboxing Canelo, JETS. I would think it is pretty close to 50-50, although I myself give a slight edge to Canelo.
This fight will show how much Canelo has improved .Lara presents all the intangibles that could challenge Canelo's ring IQ ,his conditioning,heart etc .. The ultimate test for any boxer .This should be a great fight..
Called it. I was in no way in minority with this prediction, kind of sad what Golden Boy fights are becoming.
