I think Lara did better work. Alvarez didn't even land 100 punches he played to Laras game and lost.

I think Lara did better work. Alvarez didn't even land 100 punches he played to Laras game and lost.

But we've been told by people on this site "only Canelos punches counted" so 117-111 makes perfect sense. Apparently Lara only threw jabs even though I distinctly remember him landing more hooks than Canelo landed head shots, those don't count. And I remember him snapping Canelos head around with lefts, but those don't count. And he landed body punches of his own, but those don't count. As long as they all don't count it's 117-111.

Either guy close is good but all the ways fans find to dismiss what actually happened in the fight is infuriating.
