        Seen some recent pictures of manny, his arms seems bigger now, hopefully this doesn't slow him down.

          Yea he can get used to the movement and the footwork but like Floyd, Lara works off his lead hand to establish range, blind his opponent and set up his straights. Also Lara has a great sense of distance and can make you think your out of punching range when your in the exact spot you want to be. He can place you where he wants you to be and make you throw the punches he wants you to throw.

          Obviously he's not as well rounded as Floyd but there is a lot that can be learned.
          But if the punches are coming from the opposite direction it doesn't make any sense to me. Maybe I've overlooked it but I've never seen a boxer preparing for a major fight use a southpaw sparring partner for a right handed fighter.

              Usually its multiple fighters that bring something unique that the trainer expects the opponent to bring to the table. I'm sure he's getting plenty of work with right handed fighters as well.

              I just think Lara's boxing mind, range and ability to set traps could add something.

                Lara could switch to right hand while he spars

                  He looks a lot leaner than when he started camp. Looks good in the latest pics I've seen.
