On the basis of being unable to win, then Canelo too doesn't deserve a payday and moreso considering that the card that ultimately decided it was scored on the moon. People want to make excuses without facing up to simple facts. Canelo was outlanded, for long stretches couldn't fight his fight, and then wants to walk away from a rematch because his opponent needs to 'learn to fight?' Canelo is a bit like Chavez Jnr. It all gets given too easily and too many excuses are made. Take your rematch and win the fight. Even Mayweather rematches close fights immediately.
Where was this magical world where Canelo was outlanded for LONG stretches at a time , outlanded by 1 or 2 jabs a round a 10 punches total in fight isnt shit to me, if the punches are that close and one lands a significantly larger amount of power shots I'll tend to go with the guy landing the power shots. A third thought Canelo won, a third a draw, a third Lara hence no robbery or controvery in my mind even, I didnt paint it a certain way its MATH! I simply don't think there is any controversy in the result and not really invested in either fighter. also do you really want to see that fight again
