Im hoping Lara has tightened up his defense and practiced inside fighting. He really needs to improve in those areas.

his defense is already tight. i just hope he's worked on countering and transitioning from offense to defense. his last fight he stayed in his shell too long.

If Grady had speed he woudlve landed at will. I want to see him learn to clinch and fight on the inside rather then just sitting in a shell and cover up whenever the opponent gets close.

no he wouldnt have. lara picks off punches well. he either goes with the peek-a-boo or can slip punches with upper body movement.
he can fight on the inside. i've seen in previous fights where he would perfectly time right hooks to the body or head in b/t his opponents shots. i think he tried to do that vs brewer but brewer has odd timing, he tries to unleash punches when you least expect it. on the inside, lara's capable of looking like a younger winky in there.

ive seen plenty of lara's fights and that was the only time i ever seen him stay in his shell for that long on the inside.
