Won't be no controversy this time, Lara via KO!

[-PBP-]

Good ****. It's only fair. Top Rank got to promote the first fight, GBP gets to promote the 2nd.

I hope they put it on May 4th

Good job GB. throw it on the Floyd undercard

[Babalu11]

This could be nicer if they co-promote, but at least we are seeing fighters from Top Rank vs Golden Boy..it was about GB stepped it up for Lara. I would like to see Lara vs Canelo just to see how Canelo does against that style.

the only problem is getting WBC 2 enforce the bout w/Alvarez, the fraud, who's never fought a # 1-10 or a mandatory...Alvarez doesn't even know who he's boxing on May 4...

[Bigg Rigg]

I hope Lara ko's Vanes.

Hope so. Vanes looked pretty good in that last fight, although Lara was coming on. Hopefully Erislandy presses the action a little more next time.
