Official Thread: Canelo Alvarez-Erislandy Lara

[Hulk]

my prediction was; lara would win on points and outbox canelo easily, making him look foolish at times, BUT...canelo would get the nod because of his star power.

i didnt see the fight, how far off was I? im hearing different shit. maybe from someone who dont suck canelos balls??

You were pretty damn close. The same slags who championed Algeri for "outboxing" Provodnikov despite getting dropped twice are now jeering Lara for "running".

Everyone agrees Lara swept the first 3 n took the last 2 as well. Yet some think Canelo did enough to win.

It's hip to be square.

Chris Algeri dominated the fight by setting the pace, demonstrating superior ring generalship(in a very small ring), not being hit AND hitting Provodnikov. Algeri connected with 288 punches(of 993 thrown) and was effective in almost every round of the fight. Lara connected with a measly 107 punches(of 386 thrown) and spent several rounds literally running away from Canelo. It's a poor comparison unless you're trying to show how undeserving of the win Lara was.
