I used to think that Lara would give Canelo a fight.

This!

I would favor Lara. Speed, skill and has power. Angulo was there to be hit, made alvarez look like a superstar. he wouldn't do that to Lara.

 

This is rather typical in the sport when it comes to the fans. A fighter(Canelo in this case) loses a fight and he's completely useless forever. A few months and another fight later and he's back to being competent again.

That said, I'd rather see Alvarez move up to 160(since he clearly can't make 154 anymore) and fight the winner of Martinez/Cotto. That would be a far bigger and better fight for him on a 100% worthy PPV.

 

Lara moves very well which will give Canelo problems, but between the movement he stands in front of his opponent for too long and stays on the ropes for too long, it's why Angulo had so much success. Lara also showed against Angulo that he is open to the left hook. It's because of these reasons that I favour Canelo to win convincingly.

 

Alvarez said after the fight that he has no plans on moving up in weight, and that he came in overweight for this fight because he felt it was uneccesary to sweat off an extra lb with no title at stake. We'll see what happens.

 

Honestly anybody facing saturdays night version of angulo would look fast and skillfull.... FACT.

 

Canelo beats Lara, in a hard fight, but i think he needs to move up to 160 and fight the winner of Cotto/Martinez like the fella' above said

 

I used to think Lara would dominate and stop Canelo, I ain't so sure myself either now.

 

I think there is a good chance of this fight happening this year. I would definitely buy that PPV.

 

He'll have to move up before long. He's still growing, no way he can remain a 154lber in the long run imo.
