Comments Thread For: Erislandy Lara-Freddy Hernandez in Play For June 30th

[Light_Speed]

I can't blame Lara for not having a rematch with Molina, he knows that even if he wins he won't look good doing it. Molina probably one of the most difficult guys to look good against. right now Lara is hoping to secure a fight with Canelo, so he wants to look good.

I doubt Canelo will ever face anybody that's a serious threat, so Lara should forget about it and fight Molina instead. boxing fans should support the real boxers and let the casual fans and fanboys support the WWE sideshow

So Williams wasn't a serious threat?

A lot of talk that it's Molina who doesn't want the rematch. I don't have a clue really, and I want him to avenge that draw. I thought he lost, but he's been clearly a different fighter since that happened. A lot like I thought Broner lost to De Leon, but since then he's been killing people. I have all ideas they will meet in the ring again, and I like Lara when they do.

I hear Showtime wants that fight. I agree with you Lara probably wins the rematch, in 1st fight he looked like he wasn't all there that night. I doubt he'll make that mistake again

I wouldn't totally sleep on Hernandez. most people only know him from the Berto fight but lets look at that.

Al Haymon fighter + corrupt ref = quick stoppage.

yes Hernandez was down but he was up and ready to go when Mora waved it off. what if Marquez had been waved off in the 1st Pac vs Marquez fight?

Hernandez is dangerous because the guy can punch, is he dangerous enough to beat Lara? probably not but considering nobody really wants to fight the guy you have to take what you can get.

Oscar slided that hush money to Laras.GB will do just about anything to protect Canelo.


Lara's is the new leading mandatory because of Kirkland dropping out...? What is it he's too fresh of a fighter? It's not like he's shot like every fighter on Conelo's resume as of lately.

Horrible fight.

Just horrible.

They wanna milk Alvarez as long as they can let him take k9s belt first. Sept will be canelos last defense since cotto or Kirkland takes that belt in his next defense

did you see the williams/lara fight? that fight sealed the deal on whether paul williams was still an elite fighter or not. that's why saul alvarez chose him. if alvarez and gbp were really trying to face a challenge they'd face someone like cotto, trout, or lara next.
as for this hernandez fight, good for lara staying busy. hernandez is coming off that collazo win so i guess it's a bit better than hearns coming off a sturm loss. it's a shame no one wants to give this guy a shot. hopefully if k9 wins he'll consider it, since he gave an interview saying he'd be down for it.

OK, is been say about a hundred times now, Molina and Lara share the same manager therefor it will not be a rematch until is there more on the table, if you want blame somebody, blame DeCubas, they both want the fight but LDC wants to get them and himself of course more money, since none of them have a title it will happen in the near future, now if one of them managed to get a hold of a belt, the fight is on...

He said he will fight if Lara gets a Belt, and none of the belt holders wants no part of Lara...

He didn't train properly, Shields was off to Ireland with Rigondeaux and 3 days before the fight he had a tooth infection... Of course none of this is Molina's fault.
