That should tell you something. Styles make fights.
Molina couldn't hit Lara cleanly, Martirosyan rarely caught Lara with anything meaningful, Williams high output was for the most part nulled by Lara's slickness and defense.
Molina slipped some of Lara's straight lefts and Lara had no answer for Molina's inside game. I don't mind that they scored the fight a draw, but Molina clearly looked better in that fight and should've won by SD at the very least.

Floyd is a part-timer at Jr Middleweight, he only fights opponents who brings in the most money in the division and Lara doesn't bring that. Lara's resume isn't all that great either and Floyd has nothing to gain by fighting/beating him except for shutting up a few fickle bitter fans who wants to see him lose as usual.
But fighters work their whole lives to become world champions, so if he plans on being a part timer in the division, he should vacate instead of babysitting a belt that the top contenders will never get a crack at. Luckily the WBA recognizes Lara as a world champion but he won't be looked at as an official champion in that weight class unless this part time fighter either fights him or vacates.Last edited by -PBP-; 03-15-2014, 05:53 PM.

I saw Molina hugging a lot and throwing a lot of punches on Lara's arms. Lara could not miss the left hand uppercut.
I had it 6-4 Lara.
I won't really make this a discussion, we'll just agree to disagree.

Judging from your pic your a Floyd nut hugger and are probably *****in on Lara but I agree.
Lara has decent movement, good handspeed but he lacks the reflexes to be called slick or the punch selection and the supreme speed of foot. Lara is not slick, I haven't seen anyone EVER throw punches as slow as ANgulo and he tagged Lara all night long.
Lara has heart though and can punch a bit himself.
