Canelo was mainly hitting air, arms, elbows. He also landed quite a few punches on Lara's back. I don't see how he could be given more than 6 rounds.

Did you keep a round by round?

If u think canelo won against lara and didnt have questionable fights with GGG than u delusional.

I understand the controversies for the GGG bouts, but not for his contest over Lara.

For sure, his fight against the Cuban was close, but the Mexican deserved the victory. It was a close fight though, but certainly no robbery.

Lara was employing effective defence during the first five rounds, such as making Canelo miss and then making him pay. However, from round six onwards, he was being too defensive and simply didn’t let his hands go often enough. Erislandy was responsible for his own downfall, because he had the capability to win, but he forfeited too many rounds due to his own negative approach.

Canelo tries to win rounds by waiting in his opponent to advance into his range too much and counter with flashy combinations. Thing is he usually gets outboxed outside of these small bursts of action but they usually look fancy and get a woo from the crowd, so, well, the judges do what they do in a Canelo fight.

Nah he outboxed Canelo but Canelo fans were annoyed he could barely touch Lara for most of the fight while getting picked off by quick straight shots.

The majority of the media also believed Canelo won that fight.

margaret thatcher wrote: ↑06 Apr 2020, 14:52 So the majority had Canelo winning, yet over 60 percent didn't have him winning! Does that mean the majority had him winning and the majority had him not winning at the same time ?

So many different ways you can play with the phrases to suit your point

It also makes me think, what if major fights now had it so you could win a 1-0-2 judges decision instead of it being a draw

Not that anyone needs the reminder, but the threads a clear example of how ridiculous a poster EO is. Embarrassing that he/she/it continues in this manner; spewing skewed stats on repeat (his/her/its usual business).

He's the same poster who said 38% of media had Canelo winning. Duh! So 62% were for Lara or draw. Maddening he is.

I’ll keep it brief as there’s more significant worries in the world. Basically he’s a complete waste of time, irrational and very unreliable.

I’m not able to take anything he says seriously, given he continually provides skewed information. Most of his posts are emotive, cloaked in skewed “facts”.
