Canelo vs Lara

                                                      By kiki

My take on the fight: I re-watched the fight this morning and in my opinion Lara took Canelo to school. He gave Canelo a boxing lesson, hit and move, a la Willie Pep. Lara had Canelo missing throughout the fight, and when he didn’t have him missing he was blocking his punches. Sure Canelo landed a hard shot here and there, his problem was that he didn’t follow through with more punches. He also never double-up on his punches. There was few times when Canelo threw in bunches, but for the most they were harmless punches as he was hitting gloves and elbows.


I didn’t score the fight, I instead drew on my 65+ years of watching fights to call Lara the winner.
