Froch is my boy. Im talking about guys who are fighting guys they KNOW are all wrong for them. We know how Paul is against lefties. When you got elite guys taking tailor made fights Paul is doing the complete opposite.

Say what you want. No other fighter is going out of their way doing that. Paul has ISSUES with lefties. Big time issues.

I don't know if he has issues with lefty. He might issues with elite lefties. But, not just any lefty is going to give P-Will trouble. Winky Wright perfect example.

Bro you said.

Heck Williams is most likely the least protected fighter in all of boxing.

I agree, I don't know why P-Will team is taking such a fight. I always thought that Cory Spinks would have been the perfect comeback opponent. And, then maybe go for Bundrage-Powell winner, and then maybe a Cintron rematch. Just take gradual steps to the top.

I mean if P-Will losses this fight. It will be detrimental to his career. I don't know why they would take such a risky fight.

But, much respect to P-Will for going through with it and probably wanting this.

Its a dangerous but its not THAT dangerous. Lara has no inside game. When fighters fight him close he just balls up and bends forward covering up and waiting until his oppoennt is done punching.

Lara also has a terribkle workrate. Kid doesnt like to throw. Watch the Molina fight. Then watch the Grady Brewer fight. Brewer had great sucess when he made a close, rough brawl. Lara doesnt look good against pressure fighters.

I think it will be a good fight for the first 3-4 roudns then Williams starts to find that left hand landing and Lara not returning fire anymore then he'll wipe him out and stop him.

Thank you, I can't believe my ass forgot Winky was a southpaw.

Andy Kolle is another.

I think its competitive for 3 or 4 and then PW outworks Lara the rest of the way.

PW by UD.

Lara feels like a mix between Clottey and Winky.

To selective with his punches and he's not a huge puncher(He probably hits harder then Winky and Clottey)

Lara's best shot is too hit PW to the body hard and early and try to slow him down.

That might be all true.

But, a lot of questions marks are with P-Will right now.

Can he take a shot, or is his chin cracked?

How is his confidence after such a devastating KO? Will he be willing to be as active or will he keep his punch output low so he won't leave himself open?

How well will he comeback from really a devastating lost?

I honestly don't know. I haven't seen him since that KO fight to really have an idea where he's at mentally.

To be fair to my boy Winky. He was done. Me myself didnt even get too crazy with that win. A Prime Winky would shut Paul out being honest.

Funny that you say that. Thats how I think this fight will look in a way. Willaism pounding away and Lara not returning much fire or enough fire to score points.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Thank you, I can't believe my ass forgot Winky was a southpaw.

It seems you also forgot Winky was shot. I didnt. Winky outside of Hearns is probably my favorite fighter. He was done bro. Prime Wink UD's Paul 12-0. You know that.

Andy Koelle was a lefty I believe as well and he got stopped in one round as did Quintana.

But Its safe to say Koelle isnt on the level of Martinez or Lara.

[jrosales13]

Andy Kolle is another.

exactly is not the left hand that gives P-Will problems. Is the skill and style of the lefty, somebody like Martinez who is quick handed and counter and give angles is what would give P-Will trouble.

I've always said Winky was shot vs Williams but I honestly don't know how it would be prime for prime.
