Well it looks Lara still has some left i the tank not so mobile as before but engages more at least, o sullivan show lil fight but that guy doesnt belong top,pretty sure GGG kills Lara though

Fair stoppage...but those commentators were deek riding. They called every shot that Lara threw...and about 3 of O'Sullivan's punches even though according to stats Spike landed over 60 power punches. They called it a clinical dissection...which is a joke.

I noticed that too, they were **** riding Lara hard, must want to get a few more fights out of him so were hyping everything and saying this osullivan bum didnt land anything but his body shots were getting through, he was landing and he did about as good as you could have expected him to. He had no snap on his punches and looked to be naturally a weight class smaller than lara. Lara didnt look great but he is 39 so kind of expected. Wish the announcers could just call it how it is instead of the BS hype job

I hate that we never got Lara versus either Charlo.

I hope this is some consolation.

I don't ever remember Lara being all that mobile against bigger taller fighters, not even in his prime.. He always backed up and fought against the ropes against them and fought the same way he did tonight..

I kept waiting for Lara to follow up that left hand with a right hook he probably would have gotten Spike out of there sooner in better fashion...

We didn't really learn much tonight: O'Sullivan is a bum and can't crack an egg. He was absolutely ripping shots off onto Lara to zero effect, while getting hurt by every single shot Lara threw.

Lara should up the anti in opps and fight jamie winner getting ggg after the nelo loss. None of em are going to face adams hes bout to just have to take unnecessary risks at 168 ectt just to get them to mention his name

Congratulations to Erislandy Lara on his knockout victory but based on this performance; It is safe to say that it is time for him to retire. He is now showing the signs of an aging fighter.

He has hardly any legs, timing, stamina or reflexes left. The longer he fights the chances are his skills are only going to get progressively worse .
He had Sullivan standing right in front of him and in trouble several times and yet still had trouble getting his punches off in order to finish him.
