GGG wins for me - Angulos the kicker, Lara didn't like the pressure for me, and that's something GGG just does better - GGG and Perro sparred a coupla years back with Perro apparently trying to bring it (as he always does) but ending up on his bike to the surprise of onlookers who didn't know GGG.
I've no doubt that Lara will have some moments, but with GGG in his face all the time, I think it's him that will struggle.
Lara had great success with Trout cos he's much more of a traditional counterpuncher and gave Lara the space to move and fight his own fight where he had the space to control the range and angles.
I'll have to rewatch the Vanes fight, but I mainly recall a lot of nothing much - throwing the odd punch and combo won't keep Golovkin off him.
I ain't seen the Molina fight yet, and should give it a look, but I know how Molina fights and Lara being unable to overcome what is admittedly a very awkward style does little more to recommend him.
For me the biggest ineteret in this fight is just to see how GGG copes with a fast and skilled fighter with a different style than he's seen in his pro career.
