    i suspect lara will be outboxing alvarez thoroughly yet the cards will reflect otherwise. then inexplicably in round 11 lara will land a sunday brunch punch and knock alvarez colder than a quart of blue bell ice cream

    That would be the best moment in boxing in quite some time.

    I do know this, if Canelo fights Lara with the same approach he took against Floyd, he'll get picked apart. Granted, Floyd's one of the best technicians in the sport's history, and Lara is not, but Lara has more pop than Floyd, and is a very good technician. Any big mistake Canelo makes will be exploited in this fight.

    I'm shocked by how many are simply picking Canelo to steam roll Lara.

    The early rounds will tell a lot IMO. Canelo has to make Lara feel uncomfortable EARLY. If he lays back, picks his spots too much, and allows Lara to get into his groove, it's not gonna be good for the Ginger.

    Canelo throws some ugly punches......or it might just be his t-rex arms...

    Canelo at 170 tonight. He'll be tired again after 5 rounds.

    If Canelo does win this fight, then Canelo vs Cotto becomes a match up that will do HUGE ppv numbers next year.

    Should be the biggest sports event on the weekend, but millions of faggots seem to love a gay ass sport like soccer over the fight game.

    The world cup final is tomorrow so that's why I put today, nothing can compete with soccer.

    I remember when Dana white said the UFC was on soccers level for popularity. Now I'll have Godfather et al... Saying he was right.

    Herrera has such an ugly style but it is effective.

    UFC is dying in popularity if you ask me. Who in the Hell is a truly MAIN STREAM star in UFC? Canelo is a bigger world star than ANY faggot grappler.

    Perez just had his best round. Avoided those clinches.

    I got this 4-3 for Herrera now. Perez is putting on the pressure now.

    People need to stop spreading this lie that Herrera arguably beat Garcia. I'm no Garcia fan, but Danny won the fight. He made Garcia look like shit, but he still lost more rounds than he won.

    Perez looked pissed at the decision but Herrera definitely won.

    Juan Ma has balls the size of Mexico. Probably a good decision to stop that fight.

    Vargas just stopped one of the greatest PR fighters of all time.

    seems a bit early, but given Lopez recent history, i think it's the right decision. The guy should no longer box.

    Lol. Not early at all. Lopez had ZERO left. If he doesn't retire now, he's gonna end up badly hurt. He damn sure has the worst defense of any PR champ in history.

    Lopez looked bad. Should probably call it a career.

    Porter always seems like a legitimately good dude. Hard to dislike him.

    Jim Grey looked surprised at how good Mikes spine looked. Mares looks uncomfortable in this fight.
