On July 12, 2014, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, Mexican star Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez faced slick Cuban southpaw Erislandy Lara in a highly debated junior middleweight showdown. Coming into the fight, Canelo was 43–1–1 (31 KOs), while Lara held a record of 19–1–2 (12 KOs). Lara used his trademark movement, jab, and counterpunching to control distance early, while Canelo focused on applying pressure and landing heavy body shots. The contrasting styles created a tactical and closely contested fight throughout the twelve rounds.
