    If Canelo can't put a 40 year old ex -WW punching bag in Mosley away, he'll definitely have problems against a peaking elite JMW.

    If I have to bet I will bet on Canelo UD. He will trow more and land some hard punches and as he is the star now the judges will score all the close rounds for him. Canelo has size and he is using it wisely, I think that this will help him overcome the discrepancy in skill

    Lara can only win by KO, the judges will never go with him.That makes the fight risky to bet.

    Watch Molina Lara, and Just Imagine Molina having Power.. tha's Canelo he is gonna outwork him with power and leave Lara on the floor to bad Lara doesn't have much to offer, no name no belt, not coming off big wins like Kirkland... he just calling out everyone and having one of the shittiest resume at 154 and then he wonders why no one wants to waste their time on him...


    Pleasing style against Bums, but once he steps up to the Molinas and williams where is that one punch KO power? where ?

    The cubans have plenty of excuses.. Lara was sick, lara was not trained properly... BS he looks good against bums but step up and Lara is rendered ordinary...

    Canelo UD, or Late TKO...

    at least we know what Canelo brings and he does it consistently and gets better each time... Lara is hit and Miss, he could be Knocking out bums, he could be Hitting williams with a 1000 lefts and not stun him once, he could be huffind and puffing and looking tired and inactive with Molina.. it's just hit and miss.. at least we know canelo gonna bring that power, that agressiveness...he gonna outwork lara with power and body shots and smart pressure.... he is not looking to just trhow but make each shot count and land hard...

    It will probably be close and Canelo will get the nod, he'd overpower Lara a bit too, but it'd be close

    fights like this do not happen nowadays. Good fight, although Lara seems too good to be true. He cannot be as good as he is made out to be based on the Paul Williams and Ronald Hearns fights.

    That's the thing though, Canelo does not fight like Molina. Molina is a physical fighter who works well in clinches and in bursts, whereas Canelo is more of a patient pressure fighter who wears you down with thudding power. Lara's movement and ring generalship are really good, and while Canelo's arsenal of punches and timing are developing really well, Lara is still more experienced in countering and setting up his shots. Sure, he looked inconsistent during his first higher profile fights, but since then he's delivered, while Canelo has gone from looking awkward against Gomez to good but still comparatively unseasoned against Cintron and Mosley. It would be a great and competitive fight, but right now I'd favor Lara to decision him.

    Hey Doc, watch Canelo Gomez and imagine Gomez with Lara's hand.
    Very relative subject

    I said Lara by decision, and I think it would be a WIDE decision, with a late TKO possible. The only reason I didn't vote for KO is because Canelo hasn't really been chin-checked yet, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

    Lara's frame and boxing style would be a nightmare for Canelo though, and there's no way GBP would let him anywhere near Lara.

    Lara has only really had 1 great performance vs a good opponent

    His Molina fight should raise red flags i think

    Lara has the ability to Hurt Canelo but he has a low work rate

    Lara has also tired in fights and been sluggish, I think canelo pushes him to the brink tires him and wins a decision
