[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

MIAMI - Super welterweight world champion and Cuban sensation Erislandy "The American Dream" Lara (22-2-2, 13 KOs) successfully defended his title against former world champion and Slovenian Jan Zaveck (35-4, 19 KOs) in a Premier Boxing Champions on ESPN show from Miami's Hialeah Park Racing & Casino.

Due to weather in the area, the main event was moved up to ensure the fight happened. From the opening bell, Lara controlled the action by landing heavy blows. In the third round, the ref stopped the action with Zaveck against the ropes, unable to continue. The ref called a stop to the fight at :41 into the third round.

LAra looked good!!! No wonder why GGG wanted Monroe instead of him.

What a wasted opportunity for Lara. They could've had this at an indoor arena even if it was just a 2,000-3,000 seat, and also a better opponent who a legit active JMW. These kind of fights don't elevate him.

Weird. This is the 2nd opponent of Lara that thinks they can just stop and call "time out", as he is destroying them.

Angulo was the other.

Well, at least zaveck hasn't said that lara "thumbbed" his shoulder ;-)

PBC has all of the super welters. Why are they wasting all these fights?

Lara
Vanes
Trout
Mall Charlo
Mel Charlo
J Rock
Nelson (fought on PBC)
Harrison

And Liam Smith is with Eddie Hearn who works with Al.

This is the most stagnant division in boxing. Lara could crack top 10 p4p if he unifies this division but he's wasting fights on overmatched opponents.

Know the question will he get in there with another PBC fighter? Jermall Charlo in a unification?

Thurman went 12 rounds with this guy and couldn't take him out. Lara takes him out and 3 and people will find a way to say it's not impressive.

That's the way it goes however, GGG demolishes cab drivers "omg next coming of jesus christ confirmed".
