Erislandy Lara revealed during the final press conference for his rematch against Vanes Martirosyan that he went into their first fight with a fractured knuckle.

The 33-year-old Lara didn’t specify the hand in which he suffered the fracture, but indicated it hindered him somewhat in a bout that ended in a technical draw. They’ll fight again Saturday night for Lara’s WBA/IBO super welterweight titles in the 12-round main event of a Showtime tripleheader from The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas (9 p.m. ET/PT).
