    Lara. 10-2. UNLESS Cotto can pressure him and chin check him.

    Cotto is a lot quicker than Canelo and has a much better L HOOK up and down.

    Not saying Lara "CAN'T" win, but I think stylistically, Cotto matches up better than Canelo does vs Lara

    Laura by vicious TKO in the early to late rounds. Too slick, too Cuban.

    going by triangle theories, then Lara should shutout Cotto

    at 160 though, it's a questionmark, because I've never seen either of them fight at that weight

    If you could see my facial expression right now...Cotto struggled with Trout's boxing ability.

    Stylistically you're right, but Canelo also has a far better chin, and Lara's left hand straight hits pretty hard. I wouldnt be surprised if he dropped cotto.

    Lara UD. Probably beats Cotto up.

    Yea, this is what I am having a hard time with as well.

    I like Cotto to land the left hook and cause some damage but would it be enough to stop Lara? Not sure. If Cotto can't end the fight, he loses a decision.
