Rewatching Lara vs Angulo.. smh what a hypejob Lara is

[ADP02]

To me it doesnt matter who you're rooting for. I understand you were saying his legs are thin and that's fine. But you also tried to imply that they aren't strong enough when you said what will happen when he gets hit hard. Does Angulo not hit hard enough for you? I suggest you watch the fight or a gif of the first KD and watch how his legs turn into straight jello. But he gets up very steady and goes on to win the rest of the round. And he also moved very WELL.

And like they said, how big do you want his fkin legs to be? He's not a HW ffs.

I just pointed to his legs size and questioning it. Yes, Angulo is strong but also knocked Lara down a few times. Right? Would another fighter have gone down as well? Maybe but the point is that ever time I look at him, I question that type of physique and what may one day be his downfall.

Some are so well prepared and so physically conditioned that it may not phase them. At least not early on in their careers. Again, just a question that I have ......

I saw him sparring the other day and all looked good. Complimented on it here as well. I liked what I saw .... but I think that I can have my opinion on that even if it may conflict with being a fan of his or not or even if we disagree. I just though that you came on strong because you thought that I was a hater of Lara .... so pointed that I was not.

You're right. I'm not saying he hasn't perfected it but there hasn't been anyone to REALLY test him out.

That is true, but the reason no one has been able to test him is his essentially perfect style for him. SO it is a chicken or the egg thing.

Plus the first 4 were the obvious ones, but I wanted to throw in a guy not obvious that is a master boxer in his own way and have always felt Wlad was a good example of a master highly specialized boxer as opposed to the versatile guys people normally tick off when talking top end boxers.

You seriously put him on a level with Rigondeaux, Floyd, Hopkins, Ward. I wouldn't even put Lara on a level with Wlad who is essential the same sort of specialized guy but Wlad has perfected it more.

Lara's complete schooling of Trout IMO shows me that he's a master boxer.

Lara's complete schooling of Trout IMO shows me that he's a master boxer.

Since when is Trout that sort of measuring stick, Lara did great in that fight and Trout is good but that is just one fight against one decent guy. Being a master boxer is proving your ability time and again against guys that good or better with a varying array of styles.

Now it depends on how one defines master boxer, because compared to an average person or even average boxer a guy like Lara would be a master boxer. However to me master boxer would imply the absolute peak of that set of boxers so compared to that Lara does not stack up based on his issues with Molina, Vanes, Hernadez not that he lost those fights (especially Vnaes and Hernandez). It raises the question if he runs into a guy a bit better that does similar stuff what is Lara going to do then. If he can answer properly that question I will gladly call him a master boxer, but not yet.
