Comments Thread For: Lara Replaces Huck As 6/13 PBC on Spike TV Headliner

This fight tanks as well. Haymon doesn't have the stars to make noise. Why is this not something that is brought up

Oh some of us have brought it up on many occasions. We just get attacked and shouted down and told how Haymon is the savior of boxing and we should STFU and go away. At least Lara suits the rest of the production... lackluster, boring and dull.

Oh yeah...almost forgot... I'd like to thank Al Haymon!

I'm a fan of Lara but I see the whole point of the PBC to try and capture the casual fan. I can't think of a way to turn off the casual fan faster than by having Lara in a main event fight. They're not going to appreciate his style at all.

THIS x100. Lara's style is difficult to digest, regardless of the style match-up imo. The Angulo fight was entertaining because he had power and a weight advantage. Lara does laps around the ring against whoever he's fighting.

Maybe some of you guy's should just watching mma instead then. I love watching pure boxing (sweet science). WAR LARA

Lara has pissed me off in his last couple performances. He needs to stop sprinting around the ring and smack the hell out of his opponent. Why the **** was he retreating against feather-fisted Ishe Smith? All the physical talent in the world and he uses it like that. That was the perfect opponent to take some risks against, and he continued to fight in a defensive manner.

Lara's style is not fan-friendly at all. I'd rather Huck get a chance on American tv.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll find something to do that night

This fight will do terrible ratings and Haymon will be forced once again to give away half the tickets. Casual fans don't want to see Lara fight hell most hard core fans have no interest in it.

Match him up with a brawler like Angulo and its problem solved.

They matched him with an aggressive fighter in Canelo and he failed to impress. He won the 1st two rounds clearly, and as soon as he felt Nelo's power he began his retreat. Ran the whole bloody fight.

For all his ***** talk about how he was going to break Nelo's face, and he was going to hurt him all he did was run.

Well good luck woth that because I'm not tuning in then. Same with thousands of fans who despise running cowards like Lara. Skipping the entire channel that day.

Good for Lara get some exposure to large audience

I'm not so sure how good it will be for the large audience. Huck is a much more TV friendly fighter than Lara.

Well Canelo is good. You can't win 11 clear rounds against him unless your Floyd.

Haymon make''s his cards much too late. He should have a system in place so these cards are set at least 2 months in advance.
