Official Thread: Canelo Alvarez-Erislandy Lara

[ElTerribleMorales]

LEVI MARTINEZ you should apply for a job at the Federal Reserve. 117-111? Insanity.

Nah. If you gave me 100 bucks I could write up a detailed, persuasive account of why each guy should have won that fight 117-111.

There were almost zero dominant rounds. Alvarez won (and it wasn't by any means a robbery) without landing a single meaningful head shot.

Correction: There was not one single dominant round in that fight.

If we're stretching it (and I would demand more money for this), I could argue 120-108 for either guy.

Very tough fight to score.

Lara DOMINATED the first 3 and then clearly won the 5th, and IMO the 8th, that's 5 rounds in his favor, so how the hell could he be down 6 points?
