Kirkland would knock Canelo out.

Hopefully, this fight doesn't get made. It will be Canelo chasing this coward, just a waste of a fight. I'd rather see him fight Kirkland or someone who comes to fight and makes for an entertaining matchup.

Move up and fight Rosado at 160...

Being aligned with Haymon has given Lara the chance to fight on Floyd's under-card. I'm definitely not interested in Lara/Smith, but he should use the PPV platform to make a statement.

Except Lara vs. Smith is not on Floyd's undercard, it's on May 2nd on FS1. Where Lara belongs, .

Sources close to the information have informed us that interim WBA jr. middleweight champion Erislandy Lara has been elevated to full WBA jr. middleweight champion status. The news means that Lara's upcoming May 2 clash with former jr. middleweight champion Ishe Smith will be for the WBA "regular" jr. middleweight title.

For those that may be confused, undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd "Money" Mayweather is the current reigning WBA "super" jr. middleweight champion. Because he also holds the WBC jr. middleweight title, Mayweather was elevated to that status after capturing the WBA "regular" title from Miguel Cotto back in May of 2012. The WBA "regular" title then changed hands from Austin Trout to Saul "Canelo" Alvarez before finding it's way back to Mayweather, who was still the WBA "super" jr. middleweight champion, back in September of 2013.

Meanwhile, as all that took place, Lara was named interim WBA jr. middleweight champion after defeating Alfredo Angulo back in June of 2013. He successfully defending his interim title against Austin Trout in December of 2013, and now the WBA has decided to name Lara their "regular" jr. middleweight champion.


wheres all the criticism for this??????!!!???

Most of these clowns are b**ches that hate Mexicans. Lara beat Trout coming off of a loss for the W.B.A. Interim title, now he's going to fight Smith coming off of a loss for the W.B.A. Regular title? Just imagine the b**ch fits these clowns would have if Canelo got a title shot against someone coming off of a loss.

lara fought trout and now smith because cinderella didnt want to fight him. Do you remember he came to cinderella and asked for a fight and cinderella said he has to wait until he fight all the bums and granpas available around?. You guys has an amnesia when you need it. Lara is fighting smith because he has no more choise but cinderella ducker because he need as many bums to increase his record. Leta make a good fight. If kirkland is not available make lara canelo fight!!!

canelo just fought trout, floyd and angulo back to back, he is only 23, we dont even know who is he fighting next, but we are calling ducks?? at 23 he is fighting just the right fights, he is not even prime yet but we are asking him to clean the whole division right now...
i repeat if lara gets an offer he better dont pull a kirkland move and take it now that he has some sort of chance at saul, if not saul is only getting better and lara will be no opposition for canelo..

OUCH! didn't notice that. Well that really sucks! That fight is destined to not do well from any stand-point you look at it. I hope Lara understands that he needs to dominate Ishe.
