The Friday Night Fights Thread

LOL...I meant to say former. I think highly of Lara. Dudes have nights. We'll see.

You had me concerned there, for a moment!

Maybe you're right and Lara might've had an off night. Of the recent Cuban defectors, I had him rated number three. Rigondeaux, Gamboa, Lara, in that order. I'll **** if Yuri has a bad night tomorrow!

It was a draw, straight up. Lara got used to icing soft touches. If he's the goods, he comes out of this hardcore. If he's not, more Molina to follow. I still think it's the latter by quite a bit.

As Ali said "too many easy victories can ruin a fighter" - after fighting guys who weren't getting dropped by a couple of punches (Brewer, Perez), Laras management wanted him to build up KO ratio and Molina was a step back up. I'm glad he didn't take the L and I think/hope he will learn from this, I'd like to see a rematch even if it wasn't an entertaining fight.

In order to be the best, you've got to compete against the best. It applies to every field; no doubt about it. I don't see a problem with building up KO ratio, as long as the prospect understands he's facing "soft touches". I don't think a rematch benefits Lara. He needs to use this experience and move on. As you say, Ruben, maybe this will serve as a wake-up call to Erislandy. At least, I hope so.
