He also fights in spurts and can have a tendency to slow in latter rounds. It's a pick em fight for me. But i feel Lara will be under more pressure to be active and busy...a close fight going to the cards will not be in his favor.
    Good point about Lara being under pressure to win big.
    The fight has huge implications for both fighters, Lara is desperate to stay on track for bigger fights and Alvarez wants to stay in the PPV arena. This will be Alvarez's third straight PPV fight--I think--so he wants and needs the win.

    I am suprised at how small Lara is and think that he will get beat by Canelo.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I thought he was smaller. But he looked bigger at the weigh-in.

    As Ron and Rant said, it's all in Alvarez' hands as to whether he can pressure Lara effectively, because no doubt -when they start exchanging, Alvarez' heavy and speedy hands will be potent.

    Lara is in for a rough ride if he can't get Alvarez to stall.

    He's no big junior middle. I'd bet he only hydrates about 10 pounds but I'm not sure.

    I don't see Canelo pressuring Lara like he needs to in order to win. It isn't a fight I would feel comfortable betting on, but I think Lara will outbox Canelo. I think the big unknowns for this fight are:
    1) Will Canelo come in aggressively and force this issue like Angulo did, or will he try to be a boxer/sharpshooter like he was vs Floyd. My guy tells me he doesn't force the issue and looks confused as he is outboxed.
    2) Will the judges reward Lara for boxing smartly or is the decision already there for Canelo. My gut says that Canelo has the money backing him and will have the judges support for any round that isn't a complete blowout. All the potential tonight for a rip off job.
    3) How will Lara handle it if he tastes Canelos hook. I see a possibility for Canelo to end things suddenly if Lara loses focus and catches a flush hook to the head. Lara tends to get complacent and he could pay for it.

    I won't be surprised either way, and commend both guys for taking this fight. That being said, I think that the most likely scenario is that Lara boxes well throughout and Canelo has another less than stellar performance vs a solid boxer. Canelo is a guy who doesn't like to waste punches and will lower his output and hold his hands when facing a mobile boxer with good skills.

    Appreciate the update about fight night weight guys. I really don't know who to pick here. Canelo doesn't naturally fight in the manner to trouble Lara's style but Canelo isn't one dimensional. He can adjust. I thought Canelo looked starved as usual at the weigh in which suggests his stamina will be an issue again. Lara looked absolutely fantastic at weigh in to me. Lara is what he is so Canelo dictates how this goes in my opinion. I'd side with Lara unless a better version of Canelo than we've ever seen shows up. Is Canelo a popular fighter or a great fighter, we find out tonight.

    I think this is the hardest fight to pick from all year. A real 50/50 but I'm backing Lara he's alot hungrier then Canelo is. When was the last time you saw someone interrupt a post fight press conference to try to get a right. Canelo on the other hand has already fought the best in the world and lost. Now he knows he's not the best. I'm picking Lara to outbox Canelo and Laras power is underrated

    It's stupid reasoning but the thing that gives me pause is all the talking Lara is doing. It seems like every time someone goes on and on about how the other guy don't want it the talker loses.
