Not a fan friendly fight. Not much excitement in Lara's style.

Lara is so talented....if only he was a finisher. But hey, tell me someone with better boxing skills at his weight.

He must finish his opponent this time.

It's nice to have a fight on this Wednesday, but Lara can't afford to coast through this fight like he did against Rodriguez & Smith.

People who think Lara can stop this guy, think again. He might be closing in on 40 but he's tough as nails. This one goes the distance, 12-0 Lara.

Lara should not be he headlining any PBC cards especially not on ESPN. The last 2 fights he headlined were disasters. Lousy crowds showed up and the ones who did turned on him booing him. And the TV ratings were dreadful. Headlining after that is just a poor decision and setting up this card for failure.

Yup all 10 of Laras fan will be there to support him.
