but lara just offered himself up on short notice and he would be an excellent replacement. of course i don't expect it to happen but it would be great if it did. i am glad they didn't cancel the whole event altogether, at least there's the soto-matthysse to look forward to. that's almost a main card on its own.

Entice who? Ortiz or the fans?
Because if you are trying to sell a fight which it sounds like he is trying to do then you might want them to at least think you will be healthy and able to compete. If he's trying to entice Ortiz then fair enough. Saying he can make 150 should be enticing enough. All Ortiz is probably thinking now is that he won't get any credit for the win. If he does win.
I got nothing against Lara, he's a good fighter. I just think he's selling the fight the wrong way.Comment

I hope you're not insinuating that he's attempting to cherry pick on smaller fighters?

[No space in ring]
Calls out Austin Trout, Sergio Martinez, Saul Alvarez, James Kirkland, and Carlos Molina, Disses Paul Williams.
After his bout with Hearns, which he is widely-expected to win, Lara wants to be matched-up against a top fighter, though there is one fighter in particular he holds great disdain for.
“Austin Trout, he's a fraud,” said Lara of the undefeated boxer from New Mexico. “And now that he's with [Al] Haymon you could go ahead and put him in protective custody with Williams and the rest of [Haymon’s fighters].
“Sergio Martinez or Paul ‘Get Punished’ Williams, [Saul] Alvarez, [James] Kirkland, Carlos [Molina] (whom he drew with last year), whoever it is I'm ready. It’s just they won't fight me and it’s very disappointing that they are able to not fight the best fighters.”Comment

i'd love to see this fight, but gbp won't do it. lara is trying to get any fight he can, it's messed up how he can't get a fight. i hope ortiz gets a decent opponent and i hope someone mans up to give lara a fight.Comment
