We were under the impression that we were going to get Lara after the fight,” Pelullo told RING, referencing Andrade’s win last month in Germany against Jack Culcay for a secondary belt. “Now Lara is back-pedaling and he doesn’t want the fight. So, we’re in a position now that we’re looking for a fight for Demetrius Andrade. And it’s not an easy task because he’s a dangerous guy.” He added of Lara, “I was told that Lara wanted to go in a direction of fighting Hurd for the unified title but in my opinion I think it’s an easier fight for Lara and that’s why he wants
He did reject Lara the first time it was offered.
It's all over Youtube straight from the horse's mouth. Doe.
I'm not even bashing or blaming him.
Lara wanted Harrison, but was beaten by Hurd.
Point was Decubas and Lara were looking for more Zaveck type opponents.
They were not looking for the Charlo types, Andrade types.
They probably thought Trout would school Hurd.
Is this a cherrypick gone bad?
We'll soon see.
Man, I ain’t reading all this. Save it for your next rant, f*ggot
:lol1:
He is quite the ducker.

hurd doesn't look like a bad fighter, but FFS lara shouldn't be turning down any "bigger" fights at this stage. he's not a young guy. he needs to get in with the very best at 154 if he wants to leave a meaningful mark on boxing before he leaves.
if he's just looking to make a ton of money easily and bbounce, fine. power to him. he grew up in a communist country where boxers weren't allowed to profit and he's got a family to take care of. just can't have all these little lara fangirls acting like golovkin is ducking the guy when the guy won't even fight top 154 lbers, nevermind move up to 160 and challenge for one of golovkin's several belts. if they wanted to make that fight it would have already happened. lara's manager is basically on record saying that they have not asked anybody about making that fight, and that they call golvokin out on twitter anyway.
Think Hurds fighting Trout next
I'm not surprised Hurd would reject Lara. Harrison rejected him also and said the offer was too cheap for the risk involved. And now Lara is probably pulling the same thing with Andrade. He probably wants $2 mil.
This thread is two months old. Anything recent?
The media mostly cover Lara's calling out GGG like fans are only into Hollywood gossip. You can't rely on them following up on what these inactive fighters are doing.
:pat:
You don't have to be mexican to beat the dreaded Lara.
I said it takes a good Mexican stylist (volume puncher, coming forward, going to the body and chin, no jab, trapping at corners, low blowing).
And the guys doing it best are like it or not Mexicans.
Lara is dangerous????
When did that backpeddler become dangerous.
I believe to beat someone like Lara you need to be a better boxer or a good Mexican stylist trapping him.
But Mexicans don't go above 140.
I remember Angulo also gave him problems but others just got played.
