Right here, you can watch a special Canelo vs. Lara Showtime preview video clip, taking a close look at the fight between two of the top fighters in the division.
According to Showtime and Golden Boy, this fight is number 1 vs. number 2, in terms of the top two fighters in the world at 154 lbs. Here at ProBoxing-Fans.com, we have them ranked as the top two contenders in the division, but each is still behind division champion Floyd Mayweather.
Mayweather of course whitewashed Canelo last year, and is still the division’s kingpin as he bounces back and forth between 147 lbs and 154 lbs. Nevertheless, Canelo vs. Lara still showcases the top two contenders in the division, and it’s a highly anticipated match with huge implications for the career of each man.
