Despite Lara having dropped out of the TBRB rankings due to inactivity, this is still a good fight for the division. One should imagine Janibek will get the job done if he doesn't have a repeat of his problems making weight. Should then lead to an Adames fight to establish a new lineal champion.

Why is he fighting a 50 yo fighter.

Why is he fighting a 50 yo fighter.

Middleweight is currently soft as hell and Lara has a belt.

Everyone on earth would prefer he fights Adames, but absent that, Lara is still the best option.

As the article says, Adames has an overdue mandatory.

About ****ing time...I think Crawford has a good shot to clean out this division although Janibek is much better than Madrimov and could pose a genuine challenge.

My thoughts exactly! This is shaping up to be a good card

Lara's only boring fight at 160 was against Danny Garcia but that really wasn't Lara's fault since Danny only showed up for a paycheck.

Lara-Janibek is going to be fireworks.

This is a 60-40 fight in favor of Janibek. Can't wait to see the odds from betting sites.

Jani unifying the belts

Consolidation of the titles makes TBud who has 2 fights left become 160 undisputed more likely

7 fights since April 2018. Lara is semi-retired. Janibek should win but I wouldn't be shocked if Lara were to pull it out. Lara can box , he can crack too.
