    Exactly. I thought Martirosyan got robbed in that fight actually.

      Just watched the fight between canelo and lara yesterday and even though lara ran for the first half of the fight...i had him winning a decision over canelo as he just flat outboxed canelo...you gotta watch it from inside the ring angle without hbo commentary...

        It was a close fight...
        Anyway, Lara can't be a high risk for Golovkin at this point.

          Surely Lara is bigger than Wade/Monroe Jr/Adama?

          If Lara really is an easy fight, why not let Gennady KO him in 6 rounds and show his superiority over Canelo?

          Maybe, just maybe, they saw something in Lara's schooling of Canelo and GGG's fight with Ouma that they didn't like?
          lol, dont like Lara and I dont like GGG but anyone that thinks that Lara can beat GGG, I have property on the moon Id like to sell you and you seriously DKSAB.

            The best way to decide who really won a distance fight is to watch the whole thing in slo-mo and only count the punches landed by your favourite fighter.

              Lmao property on the moon? Is that a new pick-up line you invented? I see you using it in every thread.

              Again if Lara is such an easy fight why is your hero GGG terrified of him? Don't tell me you don't like GGG you are clearly in love with his pecker.

                Loeffler already contacted Haymon and inquired about Lara, according to Lara's own manager Decubas. Then all of a sudden Decubas was enumerating a list of reasons why the fight can't be made easily. This is the same guy who uses Lara's twitter account and calls out Golovkin.

                They are using Golovkin's name every time they fight Zaveck level opponents.

                    Yall have fxcking short little memories and we know you're Floyd/Ward fans but don't mean much because being a fan of either of those two assclowns pretty much is the same thing.
                    This thread isn't about Floyd or Ward. I know you're not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but try to keep up.

                      I honestly believe politics above all else. If it was so easy to make a fight with Lara, I think Golovkin/Quillin would've happened.

                      DeCubas recent comments lead me to believe they're prepared to overprice Lara for the fight if it ever became possible. Lara made $1mill to fight Alvarez, now they're saying they'd need more than that to fight Golovkin.......
