Comments Thread For: Canelo, Lara Reach Agreement For July 12 Clash

[NEELZ]

Lara fans can educate me a little. Who are the punchers on Lara's resume? Angulo? Is that the main one? Williams, Trout, and Molina are not big punchers. Angulo was considered a puncher until he faced Canelo and then it was asserted he took a dive.

I don't think Lara will be able to move around and dodge missiles all night long. I question his ability to handle the power. But it should be a good fight. I think this is the fight I will look forward to the most.

keep in mind canelo is only 23 and is not even in his prime yet... name other fighters at his age willing to make all the fights i just pointed to you...
you can only fight them one at a time and to call him a ducking teacher is a bit too much... but then again look at laras resume and he doesnt has a solid win vs a decent opponent that was comming off a win... you can make any excuse but it is what it is...

Canelo has a monster resume for his age. Fighting an old mosley aint his fault as he wasnt around to fight the prime one so ppl should stop complaining about that. Granted he only gets better, Cannoli might be in our faces for many years to come on ppv.

[johnm is...]

If Lara can handle Canelo's power, he's gonna win.

[JJRod]

If Lara wins and later he begin to use Canelo's ducking books I wont defend him like you did with Canelo. I wont be happy listen from Russian, Mexicans or Puertorricans that Lara is being protected. I always know that CAnelo is not an easy fight but if LAra wins as I think he should not do the same because at the end those excuses are not credible when everybody knows the fighter is ducking

It's not about defending him. It's about simply understanding how boxing works today. It's about entertainment, whether it's how a fighter fights, or creating story lines that sell. Not about boxing integrity.

Lets be honest the main reason Lara wants to fight Canelo is because of the money. If he was truly about boxing integrity then Lara would be fighting Molina and Vanes again. But he's not. He wants nothing to do with those fighters any more. He wants the biggest paycheck in his division. And IF he manages to beat Canelo, I will guarantee you he will want to fight Martinez/Cotto.

Something you still can't clearly see, or can see but pretend not to.

Of course he gets major credit if he beats Lara clearly. Whether it's by KO or clear UD.

But if it's controversial, like the Trout fight, it's going to look bad on him.

i got canelo by destruction on this one, but if the fight goes to the distance expect it to be close and fans on the looser side will consider it a robbery no matter who wins , and wining close fights against other good fighters is nothing to be ashamed of...
so far looks like if canelo doesnt win more than 8 rounds clearly it will be considered a robbery , hopefully he finishes by KO... and even then we ll get the dive conspiracies..

Want to do an avatar bet this fight sells more than Angulo vs Canelo? I didnt think so

Why would I want your avatar?

So you asked a question and replied to yourself and posted as if I really did respond?

Victory!

Precisely that's why we was saying Lara was avoided by the elite fighters, because as you said no decent fighter wanted to fight him. With Canelo was different because he always have had all the possible options to chose. By again Isa, I'm happy with this fight and I can say only compliments to Canelo to get the fight and GB help Lara to be free of Ishe Smith in order to get a fair fight

[Showtime..]

I won't be shocked if Lara wins like 9-3 and gets robbed like Herrera was vs Garcia.
I can see this fight going something like Floyd-Canelo, with Nelo getting sent to school with a lunch pale.

But the experience is great for both fighters. Can only get better.

Prime Mosley would sent Canelo to Margaritoville.

I know boxing is a bussines today, but we not have to accept it like it is. Should be a mixture of boxing and business, because if not these is no more than a show. I want to see the real fights, not only the ones manipulated by promoters. Looks for example the post of arum asking for a boicot to Mayweather because he wants now the fight with pacquiao. This fight is not as relevant today as it was 4 years ago when probably I was willing to make the boicot, but today?. Arum and GB is only manipulating so many of the fights and they made everything possible for not making the fight. Is frustrating that a boxer make a path fighting and the ones on the top blocked him because is so good. Im completely against this and if lara become part of this game I'll be agree with anyone who blame him for this behaviour
