CANELO-LARA-ARRIVE

Erislandy Lara’s wait has finally come to an end. He crashed Canelo Alvarez‘s post-match press conference after the Alfredo Angulo fight and asked Canelo in front of the media for a fight.

Soon after the press conference, Lara attacked Canelo on different social media outlets, continuing to demand the fight.

Lara has mentioned before that Canelo does not deserve to be in the position that he is in and that the Mexican star has been built up by Golden Boy Promotions.

There is some truth to that, however it’s just smart business and marketing by Golden Boy Promotions.

This non-title bout between the two boxers has been named Honor & Glory. Both fighters have embraced the title of the fight due to their persona of wanting to be the best and coming from boxing rich nations.

The winner of this bout will be in line for huge fights in the future.

Canelo wants to display to the boxing world that he is willing to fight the best opposition out there. For the 23 year old it’s a bold move due to the high risk that’s involved. However, Canelo’s efforts to fight the best have certainly not gone unnoticed by the boxing community, including fans and writers.
