Comments Thread For: Erislandy Lara-Danny Garcia Title Fight Approved By WBA; Winner To Face Michael Zerafa

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Erislandy Lara got the fight that he and his team wanted in the end. BoxingScene.com has confirmed that the WBA has approved a request for Lara to move forward with a voluntary title defense versus former two-division titlist Danny Garcia. The ruling comes in lieu of a previously ordered mandatory title defense versus Australia's Michael Zerafa who will land the winner of the summertime title fight, which is due to take place August 5.

It's not a bad fight to see where they are, how much Erislandy and Danny have left.

Can WBA get any deeper into Haymon's pocket?
Mofos have absolutely no shame.

160 is such a wasteland, these days. I like Lara and Garcia.....from about 5 years ago; Garcia was never any good at 147. He's had one fight at 154. Never fought at 160. How does he get a title shot?

[BlackRobb]

Beyond shameful. WBC has competition.

[Mammoth]

That's a strange one.

WBA is Lara and Decubas' home organization. It's not a surprise.

They have been floating this for a while already. Danny will take another "L"

Yeah this makes sense, it's the WBA and Haymon after all. Garcia who lost every big fight he's been in since his days at 140 is granted this opportunity in a weight class he's never competed in. This is some real clown show s**t.

Ok, this is weird: dumb fight…but I don’t mind seeing it. Haha
