Is Angulo vs Canelo the most obvious fixed fight of all time?

    Exactly, people need to rewatch his fight with Lara and notice how often he was pushing his punches. Even when he dropped Lara in the 9th, he was unable to finish him off as he threw mostly arm punches for the remainder of the round. Angulo tends to only sit down on his punches in spurts-- we all saw what happened when he tried loading up on shots going for the ko against Kirkland, he gassed himself out. He was able to make it competitive with Lara because Lara was doing a lot of pot shotting and circling rather than commanding his respect the way Canelo did with his blistering offense. Canelo also did a better job of blocking, slipping and parrying on the inside. As I said before, Angulo had his best round in the 9th when Canelo allowed him back into the fight by easing up on his offense, then trading with him along the ropes. He even landed a solid right that snapped ginger's head back, but unlike Lara, he took it well and urged him forward as a sign of bravado rather than dropping like a sack of potatoes. In the following round, he re-established control and continued dominating until the stoppage.

    Log off dumbass. Angulo is slow and easy to hit anyone who knows boxing knew that Canelo would tee off on that mummy. Canelo likes to throw in combination and throws power shots easy work for Canelo and only a delusional fool thinks this fight is fixed.

    From the opening bell, as soon as Alvarez caught him with a hard punch you could tell Angulo was immediately discouraged.

    They are the type of bad ass mobsters who will pay Malinaggi an extra $ 5 Million to hold back on power shots & let Clottey coast to a decision...+9.5 ride or die :smoke

    Angulo pretty much looked shot. Canelo did great, but the Angulo from the last fight wasn't there. Anyways, bring on Alvarez-Lara! 160!

    Fight was clearly fixed in my opinion.
