Alvarez, 115-113

Close fight but the right man won it. Lara was more on his bicycle than demonstrating quality ring generalship.

The fight was right there for Lara to take, but those offensive lapses torpedoed his chances with the judges.

Kenny Porter, trainer of IBF welterweight titleholder Shawn Porter

Alvarez, 116-112

I was there and I was caught in the emotion of the event and the crowd. Not the best way to score a fight, but this is how I felt. 8-4 Canelo.

 

Abel Sanchez, trainer of WBA 160-pound titleholder Gennady Golovkin

Alvarez, 115-113

I thought Lara gave the fight away. He could have out-boxed Canelo easily, but chose to use “that” Cuban style the American public dislikes. Also, Canelo did not appear to have much on his punches, slapped his body shots, but he still won a VERY close one.
