Saul Alvarez vs. Erislandy Lara RBR

Lara did not school Canelo. He may have outpointed him depending on your tolerance for negativity.

 

style of clash. some prefer the boxer others the pressure fighter. this debate will never end.

 

Or overrate back peddling and pity pat jabs :think

 

Has Lara ever ran this much?

 

I had it 115-113 Lara. It was close so I don't have much of a problem with it.

what didn't impress me about Alvarez, or what impressed me about Lara, was how lara did after the 8th round. He was cut, taking a lot of body shots, and all the momentum was in Canelo's favor

i gave lara rounds 9 thru 11. He was moving and picking his shots well and landing the cleaner blows.

 

:deal

 

This this and this.

 

I didn't find it boring at all. I thought it was very high quality boxing.

 

The body shots were ineffective? atsch

 

That's the way he fights ,he really didn't want to take the fight in the first place. He's a boxer and not know for his Power ,he fought the same way against Angulo ...so he knew his style.

Highway robbery before he got into the ring ,at least Angulo did Floor him twice. Lara was not hurt not one time in the fight.:fire

 

So uh.... how about that Larry Mosley guy everyone

 

That'd be like watching a game of ping pong. :tong

It was a close fight with momentum shifts that I scored it a draw but I anticipated that the judges would favor the more connected fighter Canelo just like vs Trout. But if I had to be one of the boxers tomorrow morning I would rather be Canelo because his body shots appeared to be the most damaging punches. I'm just glad I got to see the fight. :happy

 

:good Same here.

Watching Lara use his movement & Alvarez adapt to Erislandy's rhythm midway thru was good stuff.

 

I had Lara winning... it was close but clear...
