Bud is probably gonna let them duke it out at 154 and then go get all the belts down there. Undisputed at 140, 147, 154, 160 and 168. Move over Mayweather cause we got teh REAL T.B.E.

Pulling for Lara myself since he had a few close fights not go his way, he is older but has turned into a puncher sitting down on shots not using his legs as much, is still very skilled with a lifetime of timing just jabs, straight lefts and right hooks.

Yea. Cuban fighters like Lara, Andy Cruz and Rigondeaux are much more entertaining when they **** from the pocket

This won't be a dull fight given Janibek's style, Lara will have plenty of opportunities to time and counter him. If he didn't have pop or lost his timing and reflexes it would be over for him but with age the only thing it appears is he doesn't want to use his legs.

Oh yea it's def gonna be a good fight. I want Lara to win but he is 42 years old so that's a hard ask. I just want someone to enlighten me on why Janibek is so highly rated. Where are all these great fights he's been in with world class fighters?

I have no idea why he is so highly rated, its off the strength that he has two belts mostly but not any real good opponents beaten. Lara will be his most notable opponent which is good for him because we can't say the opposite, I'm hoping Lara gets his just due after a lifetime of fighting.

The writing is on the wall. Bud gonna F around and win undisputed in a fourth weight division is where this is ultimately headed. He doesn't have many fights left and if 3 of the belts wind up with one of these two guys and Bud comes back to take the fourth he's one fight away from getting fourth undisputed and sixth division and fifth lineal which would be an official record. He can pull this off with two fights if this fight comes off. It appears from these eyes that is the plan.

160 is a historically highly prestigious division!
