Saul Alvarez vs. Erislandy Lara RBR

I don't think you can regularly find it here in MA, either. :blood I'll have to ask Mrs. Butt where the hell she got it.

 

That sounds competitive and tantalizing!

 

:good

If anything, Canelo is the spoiled twit. (not half as much as Chavez Jr., but still)

He grew up relatively privileged as far as boxers go - and in particular Mexican boxers - not quite as well off in youth as Marco Antonio Barrera whose parents groomed him for a law career, but still, Canelo was able to practice the hobby of equestrianism, so...

Yet he struts around like kind of a dick, banging models and bragging, and beating up remarkably smaller men like Archie Solis over said dimes. (in spite of them being dime-a-dozen in his world).

 

I think you've mentioned it, thought you actually lived here? :huh Somewhere in New England, right?

 

Iiiiiiiiit's Showtime! :bbb

 

Common opposition is a wash:

Alvarez did much better against El Perro. (Lara was hurt by him; Alvarez dominated)

Lara did much better against Trout. (Alvarez fought him extremely close; Lara dominated)

:think

Does anybody know if they had any overlap in the amateurs? I would somewhat doubt it, as Canelo had less than fifty bouts and didn't make all that much of a splash outside boxing for Mexican national titles, whereas Lara was a force on the world scene from around when Canelo debuted in the pros.

 

ics

 

...except Lara had a hard road, so his bitterness can be taken with more of a grain of salt. Canelo is the bigger *******, makes it easier to pick who to root for if you aren't Mexican. :good
