    I'm betting PBC has a plan to match all of their shopworn former 147 pound fighters (Spence, Thurman) and 154 pounders looking to move up (Charlo) against the fading 41 year old Lara. Must see TV? zzzzzzz

      Before he retires he needs to run it back with Rod Salka. Unfinished business.

        I'm surprised he looked that flat, even after a long layoff. Lara is still quite good though.

        If Garcia says thats it, he can be proud of a good career, champion in two divisions, and I think he has enough money.

            I think that it would be best that he did retire. The bum didn’t show up to win. He just showed up to collect a payday.

                He should have retired after the Spence fight.

                Lara should absolutely retire too.

                  He never expected that last punch. It did a lot of damage and seems to short circuit his brain.

                    Why Lara?

                      He should fight boots in Philly. Take a beating and get a good pay check.
