✅ I propose to recap the best moments of this fight and see my review of this confrontation. А round-by-round analysis.

Canelo Alvarez defeated Erislandy Lara by a split decision at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Alvarez was the aggressor throughout, chasing his nimble opponent around the ring and connecting enough – mostly to the body – to win over two of the judges, who scored it 115-113 and 117-111 in his favor. The Mexican obviously was given credit for effective aggression.

Lara did a good job of sticking and moving, scoring fairly consistently with his jab and quick combinations and then using his feet to get out of harm’s way. One judge scored it for the Cuban 115-113.
