This fight in particular had a severe lag and choppiness the first few rounds so as far as fully scoring it was impossible. But from what I saw Lara fought exactly like he has always fought and I do not consider that 'running', while at the same time its certainly not a traditional consistent defensive boxer. Lara is a spoiler and boils down the pace, he gets booed and does not care a bit. One minute he'll shoot nice a combination, a hard left hand, the next he'll stab a jab slide off and grab you. He has always showed signs and susceptibility to being outworked and outhustled once you get past the window dressing in the front of his shop and force his ankles and high head. Alvarez looked to win the fight with effective bodywork and harder shots but at times looked confused and half hearted with attack. Frankly...I thought he could have very likely scored a tko had he forced the pace and not watched his work and let off but a full rewatch is in order when the replay it. That was the most frustrating thing to me as well as 117-111. Ring general to me is a fighter who controls and decides the action and ring real estate. Not so much a 'style' but showing multiple adjustments and exploiting his opponents mistakes and helping him make more.
