CANELO ALVAREZ vs. ERISLANDY LARA (PPV)* 

Description : Here we have the official full-size Showtime Boxing Pay-per View poster for the battle at the MGM Grand Las Vegas. Well, who do you think won?! It's a pick-em for me, super smooth boxing skills of Lara or the naked aggression of Canelo!

Canelo Alvarez won a close split-decision victory over Erislandy Lara in the SHOWTIME PPV main event in front a sold-out pro-Canelo crowd at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The Mexico vs. Cuba showdown was a classic boxer-puncher matchup with Mexican superstar Canelo as the powerful aggressor and Cuban sensation Lara the slick boxing southpaw. A decorated Cuban amateur, Lara displayed superb footwork limiting Canelo's chances and scoring when necessary. The game plan was effective as he frustrated the 23-year-old superstar.

"I came to fight, I didn't come to run here," Canelo said. "You don't win by running. You win by hitting. He does have a great jab and he moves around, but you don't win a fight that way. You don't run. This wasn't the fight I expected; I wanted to go toe to toe. He didn't come to fight. He came to run. He's a great boxer - I respect him - but he has to learn how to throw more punches." The 32-year-old Lara, who pressured Canelo into the dangerous bout via social media, was upset with the split decision. "One hundred percent I won this fight," Lara said. "I was controlling the rounds and, worse, I made him look bad in front of his fans. People know I won this fight. Judges scores are as follows: | judge: Dave Moretti 115-113 | judge: Levi Martinez 117-111 | judge: Jerry Roth 113-115
