Comments Thread For: Lara Shouldn’t Have to Change His Style, Trainer Says

[Chuckguy]

He needs to quit running like a little beeotch and start standing in the pocket and box.
No one wants to see a guy throw two punches then take 5 fawking steps back

has a point with ali. young cassious clay was a mover, dancer and spoiler. he used to get boo's just like floyd. of course now that he can barely talk it's all love and roses. what lara needs to do is get some gold teeth, start throwing money in strip clubs and just act a damn fool.. i guarantee you he'll be popular overnight. that's what he must do. look at andre ward, PPV talent but not PPV worthy, he shuts guys out same as mayweather, but floyd brings the gimmicks and is universally hated. but being hated pays off. it sucks that it must be that way, but that's the truth. people say they hate broner all they want, if broner wasn't the way he was, he wouldn't be making $1MILLION to fight guys like Khabib Allakhverdiev.. coming off a one sided loss at that. broner is getting paid, and its all because of his antics.

with no canelo or cotto for golovkin, lara is the next best available opponent, i pick him to outbox golovkin. that would be the biggest win for ggg hands down.

He will out box Golovkin but he won't win the fight as it won't go the distance

He doesn't have to change his style nor do I need to purchase his fights or clamor for him to fight anyone

There's a reason why he was just following him around. Cutting off the ring puts a fighter in harms way (especially against a skilled and sharp counter puncher like Lara).

I disagree. Canelo couldn't cut ring off against Mayweather and Lara. GGG is probably one of the best in boxing now that can cut the ring off. Also GGG is smart, he knows how to use his jab to set up his offense. GGG has that amateur pedigree that can match Lara, and his style is all wrong for Lara. If Lara was so hesitant to engage Canelo what makes you think he will suddenly have the courage to engage GGG.

I can see Lara being content to cruising to a wide UD loss.

This. Lara fights in a style 90 percent of fight fans don't like. That's OK. He's great at what he does. But people who watch boxing because they want to see a fight don't have to watch him either. He's getting paid, getting headlining slots on the PBC. But no one owes him anything either.

he doesnt have to change his style but nobody has to like it either, he can keep on fighting the way he does just dont expect big paydays and ppv fights, cant have it both ways,

He doesn't have to change his style but I sure as heck won't be watching him.

He doesn't have to change his style, he can also change his expectations.

That's fine, he doesn't have to change his style but when he doesn't meet with the success he wants remember "He didn't have to change his style". I'm sorry for stylistic fighters who use a particular style and it doesn't appeal to the general public. Boxing is a sporting performance if your performance does not appeal to the paying public then be happy to live with what you get. Hardcore rappers don't like pop but if they want to upgrade that bmw to a bentley they certainly consider putting a singer on the hook.

All these are 100% true. Lara reminds me of a fat chick crying why none of the handsome guys want her and that she shouldn't have to lose weight. Sure you don't have to lose weight, stay fat, but stay getting no play at the same time. LOL

Basically this is the first & last thing anyone needs to say & understand with this.

I think there are many fighters through history that have shown you can
make it with a less appeal style, but you tend to need more gimmicks working for you. He should be ***** taking all day cuz thats the easiest thing to do when you got an unappealing style to most fans. Floyd & Ali most successfully took this route & made $$$ having people coming to watch them lose.

Yeah it worked for him when he crashed Canelo's post fight press conference and called him out. Guess what happened? He got the fight. This what tells me he doesn't really want to face GGG. He can easily do the same thing, since GGG fights almost every other month. lol. Yet he hasn't? Why's that. I mean it worked for him against a much more popular fighter who has options, why not against a fighter that doesn't?

He shouldn't have to but he cost himself the fight vs Canelo. Even as a fan of the guy I could see why ppl complain but it's a lil over blown. He doesn't have to go to war, he just needs to step on the gas a lil more offensively.

This exactly! We're not asking him to turn into a new car, we're just asking him to add an extra gear for those tough close fights.

The **** that kills me is that we're asking for that extra gear that WE KNOW HE HAS THERE! It's not like we are asking for more than he's capable of. Lara can turn it up when he wants. He just needs to have more of a killer instinct.

Yeah, I'm not a huge Lara fan but I do like his slick style and he has one of the best 1 2's in boxing. But yeah he someone doesn't have that extra gear that all great boxers go to in those close fights. He can physically do it, I'm just not sure if it's psychologically in him. Look he's winning fights with Shields but maybe he needs a new trainer to get that out of him.

I know he's capable of making guys miss but I feel he's also capable of punishing guys and making them miss on a more consistent basis.

[el_locoteee]

I don't know why he need to change his style.
Seriously, out all the Cuban boxers even Rigo, if you post something of Lara, it will result in pages and pages of comments, so is working.

It doesn't matter what you guys think as long as you think of them. He is making the most money out of all the Cuban boxers and he is relevant even if you hate.

I mean Mayweather make the most money by having the most haters, so is ok.

Not even Gamboa, Sullivan Barrera, Mike Perez, Dortico, not even Al Haymon backed Rances Barthelemy etc. get this much attention and they have an aggressive style. The 2 most talk about Cuban boxers and the ones who make the most money by far are Lara and Rigo and happen to be the most boring for all of you, so don't change is working.

[jqSide]

He doesn't have to change his style, but why is he always pitted against come forward fighters? There's Charlo.

He called out Mayweather and Floyd fans said he brings no money to the
table doe. And here they are taking Lara's tweets on GG seriously.
