Comments Thread For: Vanes vs. Lara: Top Rank Outbids Golden Boy in Purse Bid

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

Why would Arum care about Cubans on Sept 15? There aren't really many Cubans to attract for it to be worth putting two of them in the in the main undercard. And enough with the Cubans. It's bad enough that Rigo is on it the card in the first place because Mexicans hate the Cuban amateur style. It's a Mexican holiday. The undercard needs more Mexicans. All they have is Alvarado so far. At least Golden Boy is keeping up with the theme on their show.

Vanes vs Lara make a good main event or co-feature on regular HBO.

Because there would be Cubans coming to watch Rigo? You mad bro? So Gamboa and Lara have amateur styles too? Take your hatin' ass somewhere else. Arum gave his options and I was simply saying what I felt would be the better options. But then again Im no promoter.

There's no Alvarado on the card you tard. And Arum obviously doesn't care it's a Mexican holiday, why? Look at the card:

Sergio Gabriel Martinez - Julio Cesar Chavez Jr 12
Guillermo Rigondeaux - Robert Marroquin 12
Matthew Macklin - Joachim Alcine
Mikael Zewski - TBA

How many Mexicans do you see on there besides JCC Jr?

Very true its but Cuban boxing fans are not like mexicans ricans ir even filipinos....rigo and lara deserve more of a fan base...

why do people think vanes is good? because he's undefeated? or because he struggled with ouma and gets dropped by bums? im gonna go with undefeated.

if you like undefeated guys cesar rene cuenca baby! 43-0 1 ko!

He's not that good, but he's more vulnerable to pressure. His boxing skills are pretty good, not as good as Lara, but Lara's not big at sww, not a puncher or a pressure guy. Lara counterpunches, but Vanes doesn't come firing like Khan, he can just try to use his longer jab and outwork him.

These are the options they are talking about for this showdown:

Quote:
Bob Arum said Lara-Martirosyan could land on either Top Rank's Sept. 15 card featuring RING middleweight champion Sergio Martinez and WBC beltholder Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., the Oct. 20 clash between WBO junior featherweight titleholder Nonito Donaire and four-division titlewinner Jorge Arce, or what is expected to be a Nov. 10 welterweight rematch between Manny Pacquiao and either Tim Bradley or Juan Manuel Marquez.

"Those are the three possibilities" for Lara-Martirosyan, said Arum.

I would put it on Sept 15th card and since Rigo is fighting there, Arum might attract more Cubans. But the Donaire-Arce one wouldn't be bad either since it's in Texas and Lara is based out of Texas now.

Jcc martinez undercard!!!

If I can dream, I'd prefer either of the bigger cards (Manny or JCC Jr.); but I wouldn't cry about Lara being on the undercard of Donaire's fight. Something tells me that's where he and Vanes are going to wind up. (Just a gut feeling.) In the end, it's all good.

Yea, I think that might be the more logical one too. And like I said, Lara is based in Texas now where that fight is supposed to be happening so probably not too bad. And if they wait till December that would be 10 months off for Vanes.

You making fun of the P4P greatest fighter that ever lived? GTFOH! Red k coming your way...

actually the greatest fighter that ever lived is chris john 47-0! you don't know sh-it about boxing!

[DoktorSleepless]

Because there would be Cubans coming to watch Rigo?

What? All 12 of them? Arum shouldn't be catering to them in a Mexican holiday. Macklin vs Alcine is also a terrible choice.

Lara have amateur styles too?

Yes

Take your hatin' ass somewhere else.

How am I hating? Lara is my favorite fighter at 154. Mexicans not liking the Cuban style isn't exactly a secret. Ask onechance.

How many Mexicans do you see on there besides JCC Jr?

That's my whole point. They need more Mexicans to fight in fucking Mexican Independence day. And Boxrec isn't official. Alvarado being on the undercard has been talked about since the start and they still are. I'd very surprised if doesn't end up being on it.

Like I said, Arum obviously doesn't give a **** about Mexican Independence day or how Mexicans feel cause if he did Rigo wouldn't be on this card with this "amateurish/boring" style. Mexicans must hate Lara even more after whooping Hernandez with his amateurish style and was still enough to whoop Williams as well huh? I guess it doesn't take much to beat American fighters or Mexicans. And if you wanna talk about not being official then the Alvarado fight is not official either, it's "in the talks."

Mexican fans love boxing in general, stop saying mexicans only watching mexcians...this is not true. I'm sure plenty of mexicans would find enjoyment in watching Lara whoop Vanes before the main event.

I would watch but would rather see guys like arce montiel tyson marquez segura to represent mexico on that date plus they are more exiting
