Rumors keep swirling around that it's in the making. I'd like to be the first to say that the Cubano will give the Ginger a schooling.
I won't third it. I think the Ginger hurts him often enough to win rounds and the decision with it, looking silly at times in the process
@caneloOficial: Listo julio/12/2014 CANELO VS LARA. Vamos a darle lo que quiere ✊✊ http://t.co/9GoJvj9KwH
He'll have pitch a virtual shut out, as Rigo did to Donaire. Lara has mental lapses, which is what can possibly blow this fight for him. He has to be "on" and motivated every round. I think he'll school the Ging though.
So, does this mean HBO and Showtime will go head-to-head with PPV's in July 12th? Canelo-Lara, and GGG-Chumpez on the same night?
There's no doubting the Irish Golden Boy's desire though. That loss to Floyd is probably the best thing that has happened to him.
Trout ain't exactly Marvin Hagler himself. Trout has a solid defense, and legit power in his left hand. Wouldn't be surprised if he's able to hurt Canelo.
scheduling snafu. apparently golden boy promotions was unaware of chavez jr's funeral service taking place that same evening.
Styles wise, I could see this being a nightmare for Canelo. He might be a little too methodical to win this fight. I think his lack of work rate and pressure could give Lara all the space and time he wants to sit on the back foot and sharp shoot some counter lefts. Could be wrong but based on how Canelo struggled with Trout, I don't see him looking great here against a guy who is a better fighter than Trout.
Yes Lara struggled with Angulo and yes Canelo battered Angulo, but that has no bearing on a Canelo-Lara matchup. Canelo and Angulo are very different fighters. I favour Lara over Canelo due to styles.
^^ not to mention lara beat the fuck out of angulo and broke his face to pieces prior to angulo facing alvarez. the guy clearly had a bad eye going into the fight
