115-113 Lara imo

Some very tight rounds though.

lara couldve won easily, but lost, he simply did not punch enough.

canelo after losing some early rounds, started punching more and some landed, some didnt, but ultimatly, canelo

started winning rounds by simply landing more and lara stopped punchin, only running and a jab from time too time,

you dont win fights like that.

canelo won.

on top lara roobed the fans of a great fight, canelo was making combination, uppercuts and was trying to make the fight fun,

lara stinked it up but refusing to do anything but run.......I was a lara fan, but not I dislike him like floyd.

You need a draw option.

Canelo won. It was a close fight considering Lara got a 115-113 given score his way. Canelo definitely won this fight.

Yep. I have no problem with either guy winning. Lara could have won with a few more punches thrown.

115-113 either way good as would have been 114-114.

Lara.... Finding 7 rounds to give Canelo tonight would take some hard work and plenty of love.

114-114

Not in Vegas. Lara needed to humiliate Canelo in order to get a decision. He was doing that in the first 4-5 rounds, but then Canelo picked a few rounds. Lara won 7-5 or 8-4 which wasn't enough.

Hope there is a rematch, but doubt if there will be.

I would love to see Canelo vs Andrade but he will probably fight Cotto or Kirkland. Canelo vs GGG would be a fun one to watch too.

Lara 115:113. But I'm interested in this question: is Canelo the first fighter in history of boxing who won 12-round fight landing only 24 punches to the head (according to CompuBox)?

Freedom2013 · Post by **Freedom2013** » 13 Jul 2014, 01:51

I had Canelo winning 116-112.

Lara ran too much, he fought like he was afraid. There's a difference between running and good ring generalship.

Lara's Boxing?.. my arse, that focker looked more of a runner than a boxer..

Lara fullfilled the marathon.. Please take this guy out from PPV fights, he is extremely boring

he deserved to lose..

kidbazooka1 · Post by **kidbazooka1** » 13 Jul 2014, 02:40

In all honesty I predicted Lara would win b4 the fight but didn't deserve to win like some folks are saying.

He was doing brilliantly when landing but then he just started running plain n simple.

Canelo did some great bodywork and who knows that could've been the reason for Laras inactivity.

Canelo still for such a kid did a good job adjusting in the middle rds and did some good work.

115-113 for Canelo was the right call.

Probably.

Imo his body work won him the fight.

crusader · Post by **crusader** » 13 Jul 2014, 03:01

I sense that many people favored Canelo in scoring largely because they disliked that Lara was on the move so much and not very busy, but when he was 'running' Canelo could hardly land anything. Lara should've been more active, but accounting for how ineffective his opponent was I thought his lower but more accurate and cleaner output was enough to win him a lot of the rounds even when he was constantly moving.

There were many close rounds and I have no problem with 115-113 for Canelo, but in this case he should not be rewarded simply for moving forward and throwing more.

kidbazooka1 · Post by **kidbazooka1** » 13 Jul 2014, 03:37

I also believe Canelo cudda done more he needs to drop that corner imo.

Chepo has taken him as far as he can. I think someone like Garcia would do canelo wonders.

ScottDetonator · Post by **ScottDetonator** » 13 Jul 2014, 05:19

Canelo by 2-3 rounds.

Lara could've done so much more in the middle to late rounds but obviously Alvarez was hurting him with the body-shots. The uppercut that split Lara's eye was a thing of beauty.

Lara's still got his title but his style, like Rigo's, is never going to capture the public's imagination, meaning the big purses he could be competing for, will ultimately pass him by.

Final round · Post by **Final round** » 13 Jul 2014, 07:13

Lara won on my card.
I had it 6/3 Lara up to the 10th and missed 10/11th but saw and gave the 12th to Lara.
Lara ran and pot shotted to much for my liking but he still won the rounds.
Alvarez was too one paced again, if he'd been a bit more impetuous he could've have taken the rounds but still couldn't change gear.
That 117-111 card was utter dog shizzle BUT I've come come to expect these fornicating stupid cards recently.

NateJR · Post by **NateJR** » 13 Jul 2014, 08:05

DRAW.. Could have seen it 115-113 going either direction. The only controversy I had was the 117-111 scorecard which to me is kind of a indicator that the fix was in for Canelo to win.

This was Laras fight to win IMO, but he just didn't let his hands go enough at times and it cost him.

History has been made, this is the first (and probably the last and only) time that I agree with you. I noticed that everyone is mainly focused on punches thrown and CompuBox/ShoBox stats but there was no mention of ring generalship, Canelo controlled the fight/the real estate and if you are not making it obvious to the Judges who viewed Saul as the more viable Champion then you are not going to cruise your way to a decision over him.

Floyd made it look obvious that he beat Canelo, Lara was unable to do that and therefore did not earn the victory.

Canelo 116-112

Canelo 116-112

Lara did it as well as Floyd. If Floyd did exact same thing as Lara, the scores would be 118-110 for him.

That's nonense. Floyd stood in front of Canelo and made him miss. Lara fought off his back foot and was on his bike almost the entire fight. Floyd also kept up with Alvarez work rate, Lara didn't.

I knew these Lara fans would cry robbery if Alvarez won in a close fight. It was a close fight that could have gone either way.. Stop your crying.

BS!! Lara did not make it obvious that he beat Canelo and it was nowhere as far as you'd like to believe it was, of course we'd expect a Hater like you to come with some fairytale crap like this.

Floyd made his victory over Canelo obvious, Lara ran like an Olympic Track Star-----he should call himself "The Olympic Dream".
