If Lara would have been the one with a broken orbital bone, he would not be able to continue. Watch Mirco Crocop vs Bob Sapp and see what happens to Bob the behemoth when he suffers a broken orbital bone.

Unexpected great fight between these two, expected a Lara shut out.
Lara showed great heart but personally last night confirmed how overrated he is currently.
As expected, Lara clearly out-boxed Angulo. It was Alfredo's "Terminator-like" relentlessness and superior stamina that made it a fight. Not too many guys can sustain that kind of effort over the course of that many rounds. If a fighter can withstand nearly unlimited punishment and keep pressing forward with good power shots, he'll break down all but the greatest boxers.
I've been critical of Erislandy in the past, but he's come up a notch in my view. He displayed a good jaw by rising from two big shots from a heavy-hitter. He displayed the heart of a lion by fighting on, despite never being down before. He kept his cool, got back to business, and closed the show by making a tough-as-nails warrior give in to a bad injury. It's difficult not to be impressed.

Lara had great resilience and heart, he took everything Angulo offered and kept coming back. The Mexican thug lost his heart and never recovered it.

Originally posted by CubanGuyNYC View PostI agree on one point and disagree on another. It was a great fight, and a great style match-up that made it possible -- classic confrontation between a come-forward brawler and a technical boxer-puncher. I, too, expected a Lara shutout; but, in retrospect, I'm more impressed with Landy's actual performance than with a whitewash.

He showed superior boxing skills and ability which is to be expected because Angulo is not very good, frankly. He wasn't very good in his prime and he isn't now he's passed it. Since coming back he's looked horrible.
Lara just further showed me his limitations and a non existant inside game. He showed he's skilled, fast, sharp and on the outside very good but also further showed me he's one dimensional.
No top fighter should be having issues with Angulo at this point.

I felt bad for Angulo. He had a chance to pull off the upset. I saw a lot of flaws in Lara last night. His conditioning is suspect also. Angulo is slow as molasses but still made the fight competitive. This should have been an easy win for Lara.

Originally posted by budfr View PostStop with the Lara BS !! Angulo was beating him up and had him hurt, and knocked him down twice but Lara, like the coward he is, began hugging instead of fighting. Angulo had a broken orbital bone, that changed the fight. Lara would have also stopped fighting had he had a broken orbital bone. Laraīs chin is not like Chavezīs.
