Canelo VS Lara

[Abelardus]

How do you guys see this fight going?

[Ron Swanson]

I'm really on the fence with this fight. I could see Lara boxing him with ease or Canelo getting to Lara with power shots. My gut says Lara just because he's so stubborn. He's completely willing to stink up the joint where as Canelo will feel obliged to entertain. That means Canelo will press the fight. If his power can't effect Lara early Laras superior movement can force Canelo to walk into shots.

[El Kabong]

This could either be an excellent fight or just a fucking nightmare for fans.



I'm saying TD 5 Canelo due to a cut from a headbutt

[FinitoElDinamita]

Canelo will easily get the decision.. it's a foregone conclusion..

Lara: a boring boxer with low punch output

Canelo: An exciting superstar

It's not that hard to see the outcome..

Both have their issues. Canelo tends to fight in spurts and gasses in latter stages of a fight. Lara is slick...but he sometimes tries to be too slick by leaving his hands down (hence why Angulo dropped him twice). Not sold on either fighter 100%.

Where will this fight be held? If it's in Texas Lara could knock him out and he'd lose a wide decision.

Texas is the worst place in the entire world for a fight. And it's not even close in my opinion.

It's irrelevant though because I looked it up and it's going to be at the MGM.

Lara hits hard. If Canelo tried to push the action he could walk onto a punch and be sparked. I think the fight will be close but agree Canelo will get a decision, with one ridiculous scorecard

[Dean Duke]

Canelo wins on points

[Abelardus]

I think canelo wins this. I think they both have great boxing skill but eventually canelos power will lead to a late KO or stoppage.

If it wasn't for the Lara vs Angulo fight I would be worried for Canelo. Lara is an awkward fast in and out sharpshooter who is capable of being a problem for anyone but if Angulo can get to him so can Canelo.
It depends on Canelo, is he willing to take some to get some?

I agree that it's up to Canelo. The Cuban traditional style struggles with constant pressure. Will Canelo look to box(bad idea) or try to make it a fight? And if Canelo looks to make it a fight will his stamina hold up? This is the fight that will show if Canelo is ready/willing to be great.

Edit-i probably shouldn't have said constant pressure but rather high workrate/pressure

It's an interesting matchup and I'll be watching for sure. Can't wait.
