I think too many movers get labelled as runners. In boxing, you HAVE to move. It's not rock-em sock-em robots. And sometimes you have to run, especially if you're in with a big banger, a guy with an iron chin who will take 4 of your punches to land one, or if you're a feather fisted guy like Paulie.

As a fan, I don't expect fighters to take stupid risks (although I like when they do, because it makes for more excitement), but there has to be some risk taken in boxing and if you're a guy like Lara, if you're going to run, you have to make sure you're doing enough offensively to dominate rounds.
Lara played his role to a T.

He didn't give Canelito anything different to look at.

Had he come foreward on occasion, Alvarez would have folded like a tent ,because he would have been ill-prepared for that scenario.

Never did like Lara...he only has one gear...Reverse
