I thought Lara was going to do a statement because at the start of the fight he was landing big lefts. Then it was back to the same ol don't want to get hit Lara which most find boring. The crowd was booing
Delvin Rodriguez was coming off a 10 round draw with Joachim Alcine. Rodriguz should've got the decision, but he also looked like he should quit boxing.

"dont wanna get hit"............who the hell does?
TBF Lara and Cotto have completely different styles. Cotto goes for the KO and Lara doesn't. Cotto probably loses to Lara, but it would be tough. Lara showed he's levels above Trout.
This was actually a terrible win for Lara IMO. Rodriguez was supposed to make Lara look like an elite fighter but it made him look like only a good fighter. Any elite fighter would have finished Rodriguez off within 3 rounds easy. Going 12 rounds with a guy who showed no defense just shows that Lara isn't elite. Even Floyd would have KO'd this guy in 3 rounds, even at 154.

Lara has over a 50% KO ratio, Delvin looked like a lost pup in there and Lara needed to go for the EASY kill to show he is elite. Why box a non threat to a 12 round decision when Delvin could have been finished within 3?
