One of the many decent Cuban prospects on the rise, hopefully he'll be Champ, he got the talent.

he will be a top5 in his division for a long time....but top10 pxp is too much....he will be a solid champ tho

We still don't know what we are getting with him.

Sometimes he looks pretty good, but not great... he'll be a solid champion, but won't ever really break out.

Other times, he looks excellent in the ring, and like he'll obviously be a P4P fighter.

We'll see how it pans out after he fights a few top level guys.

Good luck with that. He better be 100% focused, or he is going to be feasting on jab after jab all night.

It's tough for a fighter like him to beat a super experienced fighter with an excellent jab, when he has so few pro fights himself.

i really like lara. he's my fave of the cuban contenders. hes a future champ no doubt, but i think his potential is limited by his physical attributes.
hes got average size. his hand speed is above average, but nothing amazing. his power isnt all that good (dont let last night's KO fool u). he can be maneuvered around becuz he's fairly flat footed. his defense is solid. he blocks a lot of punches but he's not a moving target and he can be found, especially when he goes into his shell.
he is extremely skilled, his timing is impeccable and has great accuracy, but like i said, his potential is a bit limited.
