    Lara Issues - Cuban boxing

    I met Lara's cousin today. He said Lara has family issues that are distracting him from boxing.

    He was a boxer himself. Says of all the current Cuban pro boxers Rigo is head and shoulders above the rest in talent but agreed with me that he is not capitalizing on his ability. He said he like's Gamboa for his style but not in the same class as either Lara or Rigo.

    He was spotted by government workers as apt for boxing training and then he got pulled into medical side and physio-therapy. He also got trained and practiced free-wresting in Cuba. Says he enjoys that much more. Also said that the current era of boxing there is not enough action compared to past eras.

    Lara's cousin is a very good rehabilitation therapist. Worked on my smashed up knee.

    Looks like we've found Golovkin's next opponent. The fearsome rehabilitation therapist.

      sounds like a family of bums believing they are more than what they are.

        What's with the negative comments? Jeez

        Anyways, thanks for sharing man. Hope whatever family issues Lara has gets worked out soon. He's a talented fighter and would hate to see him waste it by being sidelined for a long time.

            Huge Erislandy fan but it's ironic that a relative of his mentions a lack of action in modern boxing. Erislandy is one of main culprits

            If he became more active each round, he'd get more decisions

                Big Lara fan here too.

                Hope its nothing too serious the guy is arguably the best pure boxer today now that Floyd is retired.

                  x2 on big Lara fan, but Loma is def the best pure boxer today. Lara could be if he was more agressive, imo.


                  Hope we see Lara back in the ring soon, in tip top shape!
                  Thanks for sharing Steve
