    Lara put a clinic on Smith. I'm rewatching the fight now, it was actually a good entertaining fight.

    I'm a Lara fan and yes he can be boring, but last night was good IMO.

    And at Smoger. He clearly was favoring Lara in there, Ishe and his rabbit punches doe

      Good performance and a surprisingly entertaining fight.

      I want to see Lara vs Andrade next. It's time for these dudes to unify. And Floyd needs to vacate if he doesn't plan on returning to this weight.

        This.
        Lara is very skilled boxer but Lara is not on the same level as Rigo. Not even close.

          Lara would never attract casual fans because he is over defensive. Even guys like Ishe Smith with a very poor KO ratio of 36% make Lara retrieve and exaggerate on his "back-pedaling" snd making him look afraid of trading (very much amateurish). The Cuban posters would never understand that is fighters like Gatti, Arce, Castillo, Chavez, Tyson, Paez, etc. what people want to see. Floyd maybe the only exception to the rule (very defensive) but I guess is due in part to the fact that many people want to seem him being defeated and he and his TMT team have known how to take advantage of that situation.

            Gets a bit boring reading the comments from faux boxing fans who don't even have the patience to watch a true boxer displaying his art. Hey, there's always rock em sock em robots tough man competitions. Geez.
