Canelo Alvarez says he’ll silence Erislandy Lara
Lem Satterfield
Canelo Alvarez vowed to silence what he considers to be a trash-talking Erislandy Lara when they meet on July 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The Mexican star also weighed in on the potential Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Marcos Maidana rematch, hoping it's not as dirty as the first bout.
Alvarez (43-1-1, 31 knockouts) spoke during a Tuesday media workout in San Diego in advance of his bout with Lara (19-1-2, 12 KOs), whom he said has "talked a lot" and "disrespected all Mexicans."
"Erislandy Lara has talked a lot of trash, and that's why he's gotten this opportunity," said Alvarez, who turns 24 on July 18. "He said a lot of things in the media and on Twitter and in various other social media." Read full Story...

Erislandy Lara: “I don’t owe (Canelo Alvarez) nothing (but) a left hand”
Lem Satterfield
Erislandy Lara once called Canelo Alvarez "a baby" for not accepting his challenge. The Cuban southpaw also interrupted Alvarez during a post-fight press conference and generally "talked a lot" and "disrespected all Mexicans," according to Alvarez.
"The press conference where Lara got up on stage, that definitely bothered me," said Alvarez, during a recent interview. "I'm not one of those fighters to do that type of thing. Him talking so much was the straw that broke the camel's back. That's why we're fighting now."
Although Alvarez (43-1-1, 31 knockouts) agreed to fight Lara (19-1-2, 12 KOs) in a July 12 Showtime Pay Per View headliner at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Lara still gives Alvarez little credit for taking the fight. Read full Story...

Erislandy Lara: I’m going to school Canelo
Before he steps into the ring to face Mexican-superstar Canelo Alvarez, WBA Super Welterweight World Champion Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara worked out for the media and talked about his upcoming PPV main event on “Honor & Glory”.
Lara on if he was surprised that Canelo took the fight…
“Originally I thought he would never take the fight because I confronted him in person and he said, ‘No this is not how you make fights.’ Then after the fans saw that he was ducking me on Twitter, he had no choice but to be a man and take the challenge.”
Lara on what he has to do differently in this fight…
“Nothing has to change. I just need to do the same things I always do and train. If I focus on training to win, there’s no one in the world that can beat me.” Read full Story...

Terence Crawford-Yuriokis Gamboa May Ignite Bigger Sparks than Canelo Alvarez-Erislandy Lara
By Ivan G. Goldman
Here’s a question for you. Will the Showtime pay-per-view bout between Canelo Alvarez and Erislandy Lara on July 12 be a better fight than the HBO showdown this weekend between Terence Crawford and Yuriokis Gamboa? If it is, that will be the exception that proves the rule, because most of the really sensational contests of the last couple of decades were given away to subscribers.
There’s no direct correlation between excitement and pay-per-view dollars. In fact, the pay-per-view economic model is to boxing what a dime bag is to a junky. It’s a quick fix that digs the sport into a deeper hole, driving away both existing and potential fans. PPV cards are just another example of short-term corporate thinking, a rampant disease these days.
Oddsmakers have favored the house fighters, Canelo and Crawford, in both contests.
Interesting that the main events this weekend and July 12 both feature Cubans. You could probably fit all the American fans of Cuban fighters in a Greyhound bus. Canelo is in tough against Lara, 19-1-2 (12 KOs), but don’t expect him to break any PPV records against this opponent. There is no meaningful title on the line. Read full Story...

Lara will use some of what Mayweather did against Canelo, says Shields
Ronnie Shields, the trainer for WBA junior middleweight champion Erislandy Lara (19-1-2, 12 KO’s), says they’ve studied Saul “Canelo” Alvarez’s fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr from last year and noticed some things that the 23-year-old Canelo did wrong in that fight. They plan on using some of the things that Mayweather did to the flat-footed Canelo to out-box him next month in their fight on July 12th at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
“Lara is the master of making you adapt to his style,” Shields said to esnewsreporting.com. “Canelo is going to say ‘Ah oh, maybe I messed up; maybe I should have listened to my manager and not went to that fight. I should have gone to another fight.’ We’re going to take some of the things that Mayweather did and add it to our game plan for Canelo,” Shields said.The main thing that Lara will need to do is to make sure he focuses on being defensive the entire time, and not standing directly in front of the red-haired Canelo. If he can stay out of reach the entire fight, and get Canelo into just throwing single shots, Lara will easily win this fight.
Canelo doesn’t have the hand speed or the mobility to beat a fighter like Lara in a pot shot type of contest. Canelo also can’t fall back on the same game plan that he used against Austin Trout last year in April where Canelo retreated to the ropes and used head movement and occasional big punches to win the fight. That worked against Trout, but just barely despite the lopsided scoring given to Canelo for that fight.
Canelo can’t run out of gas in this fight like he did against Trout, and he definitely can’t retreat to the ropes for rest breaks if he wants to win. Canelo will need to put constant pressure on Lara and cut off the ring on him all night to win. Can he do this? I’m not sure that he can judging by his efforts against Mayweather and Trout. Canelo is just too flat-footed and slow on his feet. He looks great against slow guys that stand in front of him like Alfredo Angulo, but he’s very average against fighters with speed that can move.
