Hell no.

Spinks Decisions him and Angulo would KO him right now. Lara is my boy but I wasn't impressed with him Friday.

Did you see what I saw about how when he throws his jab he takes his left hand away from his face exposing it to huge shots. I love the dude hes in my avy but I honestly think if he fights a big puncher with a good right hes going to go down. I did a Live round by round on my show and I said that **** then BOOM it happened Grady rocked his ass and had Lara on ***** street and then he was saved by the bell. Now obviously he can work on that this year.

I like his hand speed and accuracy too. But when Brewer got close Lara just covered up and let Grady punch him. He doesnt know how to fight on the inside I think those 2 things will have to be stuff he improves on if he wants to make noise in a division with Dzindiruk, Williams, Martinez, Cintron, Kirkland, Angulo, Julio, Spinks and Omar henry IMO.

He almost got KO;d in the 4th round. He was saved by the bell.

I think that's a bit of a stretch. He was hurt and a little wobbly going back to his corner, but I don't he wasn't really close to going down and wasn't out on his feet. He threw a punch as the bell rang too.

Nah, I mean he's probably a future star, but Spinks would outbox him with ease. Angulo could be a better option but I don't think he's ready for him. I think they're rushing him too much, I mean, he should be busier but against lesser opponents until he gets there.

I think the bell saved him but he dominated Brewer. There are just things that I seen that better fighters would exploit.

Spinks had a hard fight with a really raw Latimore and appears that age has effected his legs. Also, reports are that Spinks has ballooned up to 200 pounds in between this fight and his last. So I don't necessarily know that he'd do it with ease.

If that's your opinion, fine.

I also picked up on a few things as well. I like Lara, but I think he should fight a few more fringe contenders, gatekeepers, etc. He's not a really advanced age like Rigondeaux and Gamboa, so I think they should take him time.

Yeah I agree with that.

Who does he fight like to you? I think he looks like a cross between Dawson and Judah.
