The ROBBERY will actually BENEFIT LARA imo...

[Kball15]

I dont think anybody on this site really loved Lara. I think now he becomes a sympathetic figure after this fight. He'll prolly parlay the sympathy into a big fight for sure.

I think if Lara just won the fight, people would still be kinda down on him because he isnt the most exciting guy in the world.

But now I wanna see him redeem this you know?

Not to say this robbery was in any way a GOOD thing, but there is a bright side IMO

People did love him before the Molina fight they soured on him a great deal after that fight.

Looking at what Molina has done coupled with how this fight played out will do wonders for his rep in boxing, regardless of what the outcome says.

This "loss" certainly doesn't hurt him and since he didn't really win it won't go to his head so maybe he can move on to better things.

He would have had a fight with Martinez lined up with decent pay, now Martinez wont fight him and he will have to beg for a rematch with Williams.

Kinda like how robberies benefited Matthysse, Kotelnik, Collazo, etc right?
