    While I thought Alvarez beat Lara, the thread starter is clearly a ******.

    The Cuban couldn't take the heat, decided not to engage, jab from a distance and then quickly gtfo of the way, and this is the sweet science.

    The guy jumped out of the way so hard once he literally hit the back post and slipped, like a scared cat jumping for his life.

    Lara embarrassed himself.

    showtime made up the punch stats, there is no way canelo landed more than 50 shots. you basically have to shutout canelo to earn a decision.

    Lara tried to be slick but it was not slick enough IMO. He was running 90 percent of the time.
    If he was winning the fight then wtf was he running like a biyotch. He didn't do enough to win or convince the judges he got the W.

    you dont get points deducted from what you called running.

    you dont get points swinging on the air either.

    you get points from punches landed.,

    lara landed more while throwing less.:good

    It was a close fight. Canelo fought in the manner of a pro, combinations, body shots, power punches while Lara fought in an amateurish style, single shots, few body shots and rarely throwing combinations of more than 2 punches. Lara's amateurish style cost him the fight, though I personally had it a draw, both exposed each others weaknesses.
