You know I'm not really all that upset about the decision. I thought it was close. I'm severely pissed off about the purchased guarantee and the fact that people actually expected Lara to fight like Alvarez and because he didn't he should lose. Saying the right man won and ignoring these two things just doesn't cut it for me. After all of these years these weekly charlatan cards are starting to turn me off of the sport. Its not even boxing anymore and is starting to move ever so closely to things like reality tv and fake wrestling.
The Lara should have.....line has me irked as well. All he had to do was do better than Canelo. Some think he did some think he didn't. But the suggestion he needed to change is offensive. People seem to want a homogenized version of the sport. All face first throwing bombs, everything else is wrong. The day there isn't variances I certainly won't watch.
