I can't agree with you. Think about it, everyone knew how Lara was going to fight, he's been fighting with the same game plan his entire career. I doubt anyone could change the way Lara fights, it's who he is.
Hit and slip away, hit and not get hit, keep it up until the other fighter slows up, then and only then start applying more pressure. That's Lara's basic fight plan, and it almost worked. If Lara had worked a little harder every round, thrown more punches every round, he would have won the fight, in my opinion.
A very close fight, that a lot of people think Lara did win.
You will never change the way Lara fights, he is a sniper, that needs to engage more.
There was one judge I'd like to talk to someday.
