Lara vs Canelo - WHAT A FIGHT

Dont miss this one.  2 world class operators here.

I agree with your overall assessment but I think Lara will make Canelo look even worse than he did in the Mayweather fight. 1 judge is automatically in the bag for Canelo. They probably got that judge smoking the same stuff CJ Ross was smoking. Lara is longer than Mayweather with more lateral movement plus he's a southpaw. I like the "Lara or draw" prop at +165

I scored the Canelo - Trout fight 6 rounds to 6 with the knockdown being the edge for Canelo. Lara is faster and smarter than Trout with a much better trainer. I'm just worried Lara's overuse of his legs will make him look like a runner in the judges eyes.

I hate to admit it because I'm a big Canelo fan but he's got heavy feet and bad stamina. Canelo is tailor made for Lara.

so you are going to admittingly bet on the inferior fighter? against the fighter that you think has the better skillset in hopes of winning your bet with a robbery?

I don't think about stuff like this when I'm handicapping a fight but I'm not so sure that potential corruption will favor Canelo anyway.  Lara is with Haymon and Haymon's got the juice.  

I know he's got Haymon but there's no money behind Lara. No one cares about him. He has no following. Canelo has a country on his back. He's the cash cow.

In boxing the A side is always a must to be considered. How can you possibly not consider it? Why do you think Canelo is a more than 2-1 favorite? I can assure you it's not because he's twice as good a fighter.

Personally I think the light will be shining too bright for a bullshit decision

On a side note we get to see the twins with the horse teeth.

Lara - Alvarez inside the distance at plus 140 

Cash cow brings it in a winner - 

I understand liking an underdog with value like Lara. But m not over thinking this one. Alvarez is the play. 

LRM,

I don't see a stoppage here. These world class guys are tough to crack.

btw, after that mares fight the favorites are now 25-0 on SHO and SHO PPV cards this year (non shobox)

Text Book.

That's an amazing stat.. taking the next underdog on HBO BIG!!!

Agreed. Amazing stat!

It was 22-0 coming into Saturday night so I guess now it's 27-0 (including the Kameda fight on SHO before the PPV started).  

lol @ 'behind'

Good info forum 

Breland was knocked down once in the 3rd. The end came from a rare right to the head, thrown by Davis, almost out of desperation, who was suffering from bad swelling below his right eye, approximately the size of a golf ball. Davis also suffered a cut over his right eye and bled from the mouth, while Breland bled from the nose a lot, as well as from the mouth toward the end. Davis roughhoused Breland throughout, throwing him to the canvas at least four times.
