I think it'll be an entertaining fight but Canelo should take it. I want to see Canelo fight Lara but they claim Lara is perceived as being a boring fighter and it wouldn't sell. Bullshit really, Canelo hasn't been in an as fun to watch fight as Lara was with Williams & Angulo.
Come now have you forgotten his title winning effort against Matthew Hatton?Quote:

Canelo can be hit and even got hurt by an undersize welterweight. But going to need and lot more. Neither talks good english. Neither talks trash nor should they being as though they both lost their last fight.
This fight is going to need a stacked undercard in which GBP can provide. But who????
What fights should be on the undercard? Thoughts?
I'll tell you the truth, I don't mind this fight. Sure, Lara and Molina are more deserving on paper, but if Angulo was able to get to Lara, he should eventually be able to find Canelo. Frankly, I also think Lara and Molina are tougher match-ups for him so it makes sense to face Angulo first in a way. Don't forget he took his first L last time out. With all that said, it's not a PPV. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think they've proclaimed it to be a PPV yet.
I won't pay for this. Should be a Showtime regular telecast.
Mares v. Gonzalez has been postponed so maybe that?Quote:

Then you take Molina hoping someone knocks Lara off in the meantime. If you get by Angulo and Molina and Lara hasn't lost you sack up and take him on. Win or lose there Canelo can still be marketed. If he wins he's a legit and proven star. If he loses you sell him as a take all comers warrior.
Is no one giving Angulo a chance in this? The guy can bang and has been working with Virgil Hunter to improve his craft. How did Canelo all of a sudden become better than Angulo with nothing to prove he can be hit by a big puncher?
If I had the cash and was a gambler, I'd be tempted to throw a few bucks on Angulo.Smart money is on Alvarez of course cause they both like to fight in the same place and speed wins there most times but damn one shot can change everything.Quote:

Canelo is faster and has better defensive skills than Angulo but they don't call him "El Perro" for nothing. Angulo is super tough and has crushing power, I think this would be Canelo's first test against a guy as strong or stronger than him. He's been rocked a few times by guys smaller than him so Angulo definitely has the power to stop Canelo.
The more I think about it the more I hope it gets made...but I wont be a buying a PPV which is what I've heard this would be, even if Mares is on the undercard, they're gonna have to do better than that.
They'll stack this card and maybe price it at $40-50. I think I'll predict Angulo KO 2 just for the hell of it.
