Comments Thread For: Lara Eyes Three Fights in 2017: Nobody is at My Level at 154

[Progrssive_Jedi]

Canelo was 180 on fight night...it was a light heavyweight against a 154 pounder, and lara was still able to compete, the fight could have gone either way..and paul Williams? Are you serious? Thats like one of the worst robberies in boxing , lara won that fight

Nah, Canelo wasn't coming in at 180 at that time. Low 170's, however Lara also steps in the ring low 170's, so weight wasn't an issue.

Lara would have won that fight if he did more engaging and less running.

Lara gets one ppv fight and he does not lay it on the line...instead he runs and ballerinas his way around and when he settled down in the 7th rd he got a cut via a punch and instead of fighting he runs and ballerinas his way some more...this dude is a joke of a fighter....not surprised his fight got cancelled

Fight night weights: Canelo 171, 166 Lara. #CaneloLara #boxing


5 lbs difference??? Are you REALLY crying about that?
Both weighed 155 the night before also.

Canelo came in at 171 and Lara a lil lighter than normal at 166??? Probably to keep a lil more speed edge?

Even the compubox #'s show how much more than normal Lara ran. No tru boxers should EVER have such a low landing % and punches thrown/landed than a slower plodder. Look at the difference between Lara and Mayweather against CanYellow.

Count how many times Lara actually turns and RUNS and you got yourself a drinking game.

Lara eyes 3 fights in 2017: Nobody is at my level at 154

I support Lara 100%

but, I am pretty vocal when it comes to bullshht-artists like Golovkin, so I will hold Lara to similar standards.....

based on Lara's comments above..... if there really is nobody on his level at 154, and if he does want to make an impact in 2017, and if he really does want to fight Golovkin like he says - and I believe him - then he does have options.....

the posters who say that "Lara should move to 160 and earn a mandatory" are just being wankers LMAO, but.....

Lara could be right..... Andrade/the Charlo's/Jrock/etc, have not really established a firm top 5 at JMW - and there are also guys like Cotto, Vanes, and maybe Smith in there who could be capable of upsetting the apple-cart..... so I'm not sure if there is a truly meaningful fight for Lara at 154 just yet.....

Team Bullshht don't want anything to do with the Cuban, that much is plainly obvious..... but if Lara is truly serious then he could possibly force that fight with Golovkin.....

1) if he could beat Tureano Johnson, the IBF will at least force that fight if they stay true to recent form..... and if Johnson doesn't want it, beating Murata will achieve the same thing.....

2) he could jump in the middle of the Golovkin/Jacobs mess - because Team Bull**** don't care about that fight - and try to land a fight with Danny Jacobs..... because Golovkin will still owe the WBA a mandatory..... also, Lara is the current WBA 154 champ

3) Heiland could be an option IF they can confirm (under the table) that the WBC would enforce the mandatory before they enter any kind of serious negotiation..... and that would depend on his connections

Lara is exactly like every other fighter EVER - including Gennady "dey ducking me doe" Golovkin..... he will make the usual risk/reward decisions, taking the fights that he wants, and passing on the rest..... and therefore will be held 100% responsible/accountable for his resume.

Lara will fight anyone..... I hope he lands some good fights in 2017, either at 154 or 160.

[aboutfkntime]

to all you bums who are knocking Lara.....

Golovkin stated that Kell Brook would be his toughest fight

Lara > Brook, in EVERY department

so, don't be talking trash about Lara's chances/pedigree

Somebody who has common sense

Canelo was 171 and Lara was 166 fellas

[al-Xander]

Lara is finally getting exposed for the deception he and Decubas make every time they fight a cab driver. He's saying here he's authorizing his team to secure him 3 fights next year. It doesn't include Golovkin.

[Dean_Razorback]

castaņo is fighting for the interim belt, call me crazy but imo he beats lara, he has the pop and the hand speed to do it. i see a lot of potential in him.
