I thought Lara gave it away in the later rounds. Veryclose win for canelo, but it's one of those fights.
I remember watching it cause I was a fan of canelo at the time. but I also remember thinking wow lara got robbed after the fight lol.
dont compare lara and Floyd plz i never seen Floyd jump from one side of the ring to the other everytime his opponent throw a punch lmao
I always admired Lara's foot speed That kid can run his ass off I always thought he could've won gold in multiple events at the olympics A modern day Bo Jackson Huge fan
I wanted Canelo to win back then (because I gave him credit for taking this fight) but it was hard to score rounds for him. I understand those who say that Lara wasn't throwing enough but other than that even those who though Canelo won should agree that Lara was the ring general. He made Canelo fight the way he wanted, dictated pace and rhythm, and was especially good at setting traps. Canelo tried to work the body but this didn't slow Lara down, so most of these punches were blocked and didn't affect Lara. IMO, very poor decision.
I had Canelo winning 7-5 Lara overall didn't fight enough for me tI think he earned a decision his movement made is close to score but overall in a fight like that gotta give it to the aggressor, Lara just ran for the most part of the fight.
