The only thing that sucks is this is a PPV the week before the Golovkin-Chavez jr PPV. Not really trying to spend $120 in a week on PPVs lol
Well Canelo MIGHT do the movie theater venue again like against Angulo. So hit the movies for this and order the JCC. Shiet I'll be happy to have the chance to buy 2 events I want to see 100% rather than some BS like last night

What was BS about last night? I thought it was an entertaining fight. Undercard was weak though!

I agree. If Canelo wins he's officially a top 5 p4p fighter imo. Shit, even if he loses I'm impressed he's even taking this fight. No excuse like "Lara has no fans" or brings no money. Just straight up recognizing Lara is one of the best fights at 154 and that's it, no bullshit.

I'm not trying to start a debate BUT...
I'm tired of seeing the Top Rank Manny carousel. Its careful Tic-Tac-Toe.
Let's see Bradley will probably face Rios or Provodnikov
Let's see Manny maybe fights JMM or a glorified Alvarado

Or Bob Arum fattens a lightweight to serv up to any of the aforementioned fighters.

Not needing my sentiments to be agreed or debated.
 
Props: CZAR and CZAR

HERESY

No way. I can't see Canelo going in the top five if he wins. However, I agree 100% with you when it comes to Canelo taking the fight. There were NO EXCUSES, just recognizing that Lara is one of the best at 154 and making the fight. So I give props to Canelo for that. IMHO, whoever wins can get my #10 slot and of course things are gonna get shuffled after the GGG vs Jr and Cotto vs Sergio.

But for Lara to win, IMHO, he has to watch out for the body blows and avoid Canelo's left hook. He can make Canelo miss but he has to not get caught countering (like Angulo caught him) and dodging and trying to get out of range with his hands down (second knockdown .) Lara has the speed advantage and he can hit hard. Just look at how he destroyed Angulos eye and that should tell you the guy can hit. He has to let his hands go and let em go early or he ain't gonna pull it out.

Yeah I hear what your saying about recycled fights at 140-147 because everyone else in those weight classes are with Golden Boy, who also only fight Golden Boy fighters. Not many options for Bradley JMM Pacquiao.

I'm actually going for Lara by KO now. I'm pissed off at Canelo cuz he's not doing business with Televisa anymore and he's turning into a real sell out. He's playing the Mexican public like they are stupid as fuck and I hope Azteca don't show his fights either. Plus, this is the only way Lara can get the match with Floyd.
