How far past it is Lara? Is he shot?

The plan didn't seem so bad to me. Lara was a round away from winning the fight. naw because he took heavy fire while doing that and that's never been lara style this is the first time he legit got his a** beat!

He’s past it somewhat and Lara has never been a high volume puncher but it was a really close fight. Charlo kills him though....

As Yoda said in Empire Strikes Back, "Always with boxing fans, what cannot be done." For some reasons fans of this sport always look at the negative and glass half empty side of things. Nobody in the history of the sport has ever recorded a good, legit win. There was always something up with the opponent that undermined the credibility of the victory. 99% of fighters are "bums" and the 1% that aren't, automatically become bums after they take their first loss or don't look great in a victory. That and some people are never pleased with any fight, I've already seen some posts saying this was a **** fight between 2 unskilled, ****bags. We, as boxing fans, are truly the worst fanbase in professional sports. Great fight and a very good night of boxing. Get a couple appetizers on Thursday and Friday this coming week, nothing notable on Saturday but then an absolutely great day of fights on the 21st. I'm already looking forward to it. And don't forget the part where "if you do look good in victory it's because you were fighting a bum!"

His legs seemed to be gone.

If Lara tried to stick and move he would've gassed faster. Listen to Paulie he explained it. He's not passed it that was his gameplan. But the beating he took probably shaved a few years off his future in boxing. Close on the cards but Hurd's punches were more impactful. it's a bad plan to fight in the trenches with a much bigger stronger younger man.......

This loss had nothing to do with being past it.

Maybe he's slowed down somewhat, but then again Lara has always been limited inside so a fighter who can take a punch and pressure like Herd is a tough stylistic matchup for him. Molina outworked him inside and should have gotten the decision years back IMHO and even Angulo was able to pin him against the ropes and hurt him.

Lara not having legs anymore equals declined fighter. That was his biggest strength Exactly money may.....not sure what is so hard for the guys here to understand about that...how effective would mayweather would of been with out his legs????? Would mayweather had used his legs tonight against hurd? come on now.....

nah man.......paul williams had the reach advantage also....go watch that fight lara was zipping around that ring like a buzz saw......tall paul could barely get to him....... Tall Paul never fought tall

Hurd vs Charlo & Lara vs Williams at the Xfinity Center , Hurd's hometown book it

Lara not having legs anymore equals declined fighter. That was his biggest strength I disagree, I think his biggest strength was that left hand and his counter punching. He showed tonight he can fight on the inside and doesn't have to rely that much on his movement. Unfortunately it was against the biggest and most durable guy in the division.

I still think this version of Lara, after tonight, can still beat a Julian Williams. Do you?

Lara not having legs anymore equals declined fighter. That was his biggest strength Yup..........just that simple....

He's slowed down but i think he chose to fight inside because of Hurd's huge height/reach advantage and his pressure. He certainly showed he can fight inside and was landing the cleaner punches throughout, Hurd's workrate and size is just freakish though and Lara tired. nah man.......paul williams had the reach advantage also....go watch that fight lara was zipping around that ring like a buzz saw......tall paul could barely get to him.......

Him not having his legs is just his movement not being what it was. The other aspects of his game are still there. Still a real good counter puncher, showed his inside game is nice tonight as well. He just lost to a crazy durable and relentless fighter. Lara not having legs anymore equals declined fighter. That was his biggest strength

It's hard to say since he was fighting such a bigger fighter. He is 34 though and probably is slowing down.

Him not having the legs....equates to him being past it man....as his mobilty and defense is reduced....... Him not having his legs is just his movement not being what it was. The other aspects of his game are still there. Still a real good counter puncher, showed his inside game is nice tonight as well. He just lost to a crazy durable and relentless fighter.

Nope. He just got beaten by someone better. He didn't move because Hurd applies insane amounts of pressure AND threw massive left hooks into his body all night. How are u so sure why lara wasnt moving? He started the fight off fighting in the pocket. He might not have the legs anymore
