Comments Thread For: Carlos Molina: I Still Want a Rematch With Erislandy Lara

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

You're right, our boys don't fight nearly as often as we'd like. Maybe I ought to be more excited about this fight. I'm just not. I want to see Erislandy versus top-ten comp. I wouldn't say anything less is a waste of time, but Lara has to make his career happen more quickly than most.

All 3 of them do, Rigo, Lara and Gamboa. Idk where Solis has been but I pretty much lost interest in him after this long inactivity of him -_-. Altho Lara is the youngest of them 3 so he has a little more time. But like I said I was just excited to go watch him live but all that got ruined. Now Im stuck watching on TV AGAIN, still excited tho.

Well, Lara's real test was vs Williams and he got robbed so hopefully after this fight against Hearns we can get a real opponent in there. There's some decent competition at 154 before stepping up to a big name. Austin Trout, Molina rematch, Kirkland. If Bundrage still fighting? That could be a name for his resume as well.

Lara's not quite as old as Gamboa or Rigo, but he's right on their heels. Erislandy turns 29 next month.

It's been a year since Solis tore up his knee. He'll be lucky to even be able to start light training right now. What a waste.

Sure, there are a lot of good possible match-ups for Lara, but not too many people seem eager to give him a shot. (Bundrage is looking for bigger pay days, I think.) I'm glad Molina has expressed his desire for a rematch. I don't know if Erislandy would be interested, but I wouldn't mind seeing it.

Molina was coming off a 2 year layoff before the Lara fight. If there ever is a rematch Molina would win every round because he knows how to fight southpaws, Kirkland is gonna be in a world of 5hit once he realizes that his southpaw agreesion is working against him.

AGREED BRO

Kirkland will go through this dude.

Unless Lara wants to fight the loser of Molina-Kirkland, I don't see how this match will be happening anytime soon.

The rematch should have been happened if they both win their fights hopefully Lara Molina part 2 happens

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

I think if both Molina and Lara win their match they should do the rematch. I think Lara left some doubts in people's head (not mine) after that draw and I personally along with my bro think he was LUCKY to get the draw. But then he bounced back with a superb performance vs Williams. I think people realize he won that fight but is not the same as having a W next to Williams' name.

@onechance - It's all word of mouth bro. How come Williams never gave Lara a rematch either? I think if he wanted to prove to people he still had IT he should've rematched Lara and beat him convincingly but he probably wouldn't .

If Kirkland and Lara win I think there's a better chance we get Kirkland-Lara than Martinez-Lara.

Kirklands jaw is still chrystal even if he beat up a completely gassed out Angulo.

[Jack Napier]

Lara's having a hard time getting fights. He may as well rematch a guy some people think beat him; put it all to rest and bank a "W" in the process. Carlos is a good fighter and underrated, but the bout with Erislandy was a case of one fighter being more interested than the other. I'd welcome Lara-Molina II.

agree with all this
