It makes me wonder how much resources they put into finding a recognizable name that poses 0 threat. I bet they would try to arrange a rematch with Paul Williams if they thought they could get away with it.
Espinoza said he's had a hard time finding anyone not ducking Lara.
I don't know if I'd agree with that characterization! We've had some preliminary discussions. We had him [Lara] on in May and because of his skill level, there's not a ton of fighters stepping up and volunteering to fight him. I do expect we'd see him back in the first quarter in 2017 against a top level opponent. We've had a lot of activity in 154, one of the strongest divisions in boxing, and the way things are lined up all the champions are Showtime fighters so we've got a great opportunity to unify the division in the near future.
