Comments Thread For: Lara’s Trainer Talks Hearns KO Win, Vanes and Martinez

[onechance87]

Lara needs to go with a promoter that is going to put some money behind him. I don't get why GBP is pushing Canelo so hard when they have to protect him, yet don't do anything for Lara, who can actually fight. GB has enough money to make both fighters big names.

Trying to promote cuban fighters is pretty hard.Look at gamboa,Hes
still not a superstar.Lara last few fights have been on tv,Yet he still cant
draw connections to fans.Canelo has always been popular b4 goldenboy
even signed him.

I don't think we've necessarily seen everything Gamboa has to offer, but I agree that the others have more room for growth. All these guys spent so much time as amateurs that they have to get in a lot of fights as pros before they reach their professional potential, if that's even possible anymore. Yuri has the most pro fights by far. That explains much of his development. It'll be very interesting to see where Rigo and Lara go. If we think they're good now, even our wildest expectations might fall short.

Idk I think we've seen just about every combo, type of speed and power that we'll get from Gamboa. One thing he has improved on tho, is keeping his hands up and his D. But he still goes back to his old ways from time to time. Hopefully, he will prove me wrong but time is running out tho. Also, it will be interesting to see how long he keeps up his speed cause he doesn't fully rely on reflexes but some of his moves do.

I get the feeling everytime I like at Rigo is gonna do a BHop and fight till he's like 60 for some reason Idk why lol.

Lara is not that much younger as we discussed before but he still got a little more time.

Lara's people don't want it.

"While Molina would love a rematch, Luis DeCubas, Lara's manager and the card's co-promoter, said no."

That link is old, don't you know that De Cubas is Molina's manager too and that Lara already ask for the rematch? Get updated...

that doesn't mean much, Arum is both Rigodeaux's promoter as well as Donaire's promoter but he'll never let that fight happen. the fact that Decubas manages them both so that doesn't mean much.

a more recent link, Molina wants to fight Lara but he isn't getting it. that was about a month ago.

I just bring it up because Lara is saying people are ducking him but Molina is right there wanting to fight him. plus Lara got a gift against Molina so it isn't like he's somebody coming out of nowhere calling Lara out.

Lara and Molina share the same manager

good post I agree completely!!

If no Vanes or Sergio then Kirkland or Molina is the way to go. Kirkland fought an eliminator vs Molina as well.

Kirkland is injured so I'm sure we definitely won't see him against Lara anytime soon!! I'm sure he'll be given a easy come back fight
