Gotta be someone else. Hearns is a straight bum and does nothing for Lara. Probably be a short night for Lara but this is a lose/lose kind of fight. If it ends quick, he just wasted months of his career on Hearns. If it ends late, people will knock him for letting Hearns last that long. Not to mentions it isn't a fight anyone wants to see. Everyone losses with this one.
He is just happy to get a tv shot is not a waste, waste was everyone turned him down and he was taken off the hbo co feature for the angulo kirkland fight
HORRIBLE fight. I understand he wants to prepare for a Williams rematch against a tall guy, but Hearns doesn't even fight like Williams. In fact, he fights how Williams SHOULD be fighting. He actually knows how to fight tall and takes advantage of his long jab. But too bad he's a complete tomato can so fighting tall won't get him very far.
I mean even Kermit Cintron would have been a better choice...
lara should fight angulo then:boxing:
that would be an awesome fight, not sure angulo would take it though. if cintron outboxed him, lara would embarrass him imo. also, angulo will probably look into getting a couple tuneups before getting back in with the top of the division. we'll see what happens.
Lara vs Hearns and Williams vs Ishida is a ****ty card. Even more ridiculous is that Lara and Williams are fighting different opponents in the same night instead of each other. Seriously, who was the genius who thought having a Williams and Lara double header after what happened was a good idea?
williams/ishida is a good fight to me, pretty much agree with what elplayapimp said. and haha, yeah it's pretty odd to see lara and williams on a card fighting other opponents right after their fight. i wish trout, k9, or martirosyan would give lara a fight. alvarez won't happen, and kirkland and molina are fighting each other. lara should rack up some more wins against decent names if no one wants to give him a big fight.
and isn't hearns a middleweight? is lara moving up or hearns coming down?
Williams is in a tough spot the fights ppl want to see him in are high contact action affairs might not be so good for his future health, flip side if he fights boxerpunchers well you know how that turns out.
i guess he's got to take a risk/challenge if he wants to stick to being within the top 5 of the division, but he can try and fight the lesser skilled/bigger punchers. guys like d-rodriguez, k9, or mudine. he's got a decent chance against guys of that caliber imo. it's fighters like trout, kirkland, or even cotto that he should avoid. i think the best matchup (moneywise) that he would probably want to do is alvarez. and depending how the ishida fight goes, i think alvarez would be down to make that happen as well. him and his trainer have also said he's got a couple fights left before hanging them up so we'll see what happens, but i think after ishida an alvarez fight can happen if not another decent quality fight gets made. alvarez is the best money making fight for williams at 154 after cotto.

HUGE step down for Lara, might even hurt him to drop down in talent that much. Fight k9 or someone else.
Not his fault even k9 said on this site that he would give Molina a shot before he would give lara one
