Canelo VS Lara

[beenKOed]

I'm really on the fence with this fight. I could see Lara boxing him with ease or Canelo getting to Lara with power shots. My gut says Lara just because he's so stubborn. He's completely willing to stink up the joint where as Canelo will feel obliged to entertain. That means Canelo will press the fight. If his power can't effect Lara early Laras superior movement can force Canelo to walk into shots.

If it wasn't for the Lara vs Angulo fight I would be worried for Canelo. Lara is an awkward fast in and out sharpshooter who is capable of being a problem for anyone but if Angulo can get to him so can Canelo.
It depends on Canelo, is he willing to take some to get some?

I agree that it's up to Canelo. The Cuban traditional style struggles with constant pressure. Will Canelo look to box(bad idea) or try to make it a fight? And if Canelo looks to make it a fight will his stamina hold up? This is the fight that will show if Canelo is ready/willing to be great.

Edit-i probably shouldn't have said constant pressure but rather high workrate/pressure

It's an interesting matchup and I'll be watching for sure. Can't wait.
