Canelo vs. Lara: Post Fight Discussion Thread

[UTEP]

Canelo fans still in doubt? Canelo at the weigh in:

Not bad considering he looked like this before the training camp

[Resilient]

did you watch the actual weigh in? when Canelo tried flexing his biceps...there was almost nothing there, it looked like me after I had to stop going gym for about 2 months because of a bicep tear lol

Seriously tho, let's stop arguing, if the fight is as good as it can be, we the fans will be the winners!

Looks like he's stopped using weights which is good as he can't really afford to have muscle bulk if he's struggling to make the weight.

If Lara can stay disciplined and just box(make it boring if he can)...a repeat of Rigo vs. Donaire. If he does not....then canelo will win by UD/MD.

i´ll bet you that tomorrow will be a lot of people crying about Canelo being a light heavyweight after he KO Lara

I didnt see anything nervous about Lara in the face off? He looked more uncomfortable standing there taking pics than facing off.

None of that matters tho.

Remember Rigo was nervous vs Donaire too.

LOL what? Lara didn't look the least bit nervous, people think he looked nervous?

[KO MX]

in the last press conference, he actually was nervous

[bojangles1987]

Holy ****, this fight is tomorrow. I'm so freaking hyped.

Can someone provide a tale of snake? I missed it and it looks like both men were in prime shape. Rumor has it Lara tried to put canelos bratwurst in his boca.

if this fight happened before the canelo fight with angulo i would have hands down picked lara to give canelo a boxing lesson but canelo looked like he improved his stamina and physically looked so strong in there.

lara should win, he has the style. his movement is going to cause canelo problems. i had trout beating canelo too + lara hits much harder then trout so canelo wont be able to recklessly walk him down. canelo isnt a come forward type of fighter anyway he prefers to counter attack.

but saying all that i think canelo will win. i just have a feeling lara will be running away too much and get caught by a sweet left hook after he finishes throwing a combination. even if lara does outbox him the question is will he even get the decision.

i will leave my final prediction before the bell rings but right now im thinking canelo ko

For what it's worth: An informal poll of a pretty well-informed crowd at Wild Card today was overwhelmingly in favor of Alvarez.
