Canelo earned this victory more than swift "earned" his against herrera.

Dont even try that here breh, Canelo looked wild, and Lara out landed him nearly every round, he even had the more impactful punches, had Lara not conceded the middle rounds not doing shyt he would have won, a jab or 2 may have won those rounds, I had Lara clearly winning 1-2 and 10-12 thats 5 rounds, it's a stretch to say Canelo deserved very little more than a draw

 

[SuikodenII]

117-111 from Levi Martinez sounds outrageous because it was a close fight, but there were a lot of close rounds... and he preferred the aggressor in those rounds



No rematch is needed, though I wouldn't mind seeing Lara face the winner of Molina/K9.


Canelo/Cotto in October/November/December or do we wait until next year and have them face separate opponents?

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Lara would have won if he would have boxed the way he did for the 1st 3 rounds for the duration of the fight. It's like dude got comfortable seeing how easy it was to out box Canelo and pretty much went into cruise control and did fukk all.

He's the only dude that didn't press Canelo enough to make him gas. Just think about that. Even old ass Shane had Canelo looking tired. Lara let Canelo out work him in spurts, especially with those body shots. If you let Canelo outwork you for 12 rounds, you know you didn't do enough to win.

No robbery. He gave that shyt away real hard. Even Clottey/Cotto was a closer fight than this.

What an underwhelming main event.

Nelo power is suspect, Angulo dropped Lara twice and Nelo didnt as much buzz him, Canelo is suspect all around, wants 154 can't make it, has the power of a 147 pounder, too small for 160, Cotto will fukk this frauds world up, team Canelo better cash out immediately

But we can agree that he did do something right?

Canelos power I think is good, just cuz he didn't drop Lara doesn't mean anything really... Perro just fights aggressive all the time... Canelos problem is that he tries to box cuz he thinks he's the better boxer in there and that takes away from his strengths.. He should fight aggressive all the time, make the fight dirty.

classic paulie, defending the boxer

agree with him, judge was in the pocket from the beginning, there's always that ONE GUY who scores the fight way wider than the other two. what can you really do though.

 

[Skip b]

That was far from a robbery

Robbery because of the one judge, I just could care less for Lara's bytchmade exhibition to scream robbery to the world, he clearly won 1-2 and 10-12 did him simply take home one more round, hard to tell because he aint fukking try


-500 stock for both fighters, this performance is not enough for Canelo to face Cotto in a PPV match, Canelo has to see Lara again before years end.....................

 

[krackdagawd]

nikkas acting like that 117 card was crazy

a few punches and running<<<<<hard body shots + the aggressor

And I don't even like to use that term in boxing but that is exactly what Lara was doing.

 

[Skip b]

what are the compubox numbers?

Lara outlanded him like 107 to 97 I believe

It was a close fight, but unlike swift canelo was using his jab a little more and working the body well. It was close, but not a robbery. I do agree if sonebody thinks 117-111 is a little too wide tho.

 

[Skip b]

I really like Canelos style, its visually appealing. If dude could master the jab with his small reach, he'd be unstoppable

Nah Canelo aint shyt, this was Tyner and Trout all over we aint forget those gifts....................C Class fighter but thank goodness for him, like a young Oscar he could parade around in a weight class he's 2 divisions above

 

[GzUp]

The 117-111 score card stands out.. But that card can easily go to either fighter

 

[JDee323]

And don't get me wrong, swift has a decent jab when he uses it. Unfortunately for him he doesn't use it as much as he should, and makes it easier to outbox him.

Hard when he was expected to KO Herrera a dude who's never been stopped in a showcase match
