Lara is who he is. How long are people just going to cry about him?
If you put him in the ring against another elite fighter that can present a matchup problem for Lara’s style then we will see more action.
Lara is a title holder, is paid well and has no competitors that can give him problems. There’s no incentive for him to go outside of his comfort zone.

Frankly, this imo was inexcusable for the PBC team to not plan this better. Lara, while highly skilled, should NEVER headline a major card at this stage of his career.

Santa Cruz and Mares should have been fighting each other on the FOX show too. Poor match-making all round last Saturday

I didn't finish the fight, but it wasn't any worse than Rigo vs Agbeko, which conspiracy theorists blamed on Bob Arum trying to make Rigo look bad lol. Where you guys at now? to slander schaefer or dibella or whoever the **** the stand-in manikin for Haymon was.
I think it was brilliant putting this on as the last fight, a nice farewell goodnight. The problem is Lara is getting too many pointless fights - put him in with a threat already, otherwise don't put him on.

Originally posted by NEETzsche View PostI feel the situation would've been better resolved simply by swapping the opponents in the top two bouts. Lara vs Charlo and Lubin vs Gausha. Of course Lara is going to headline since he's #1 and has the biggest purse, the problem is the opponent. Gausha wasn't mandatory so I don't even know why he was picked

Absolutely. I posted how happy I was that SHO rejected that card when my boy LSC decided he needed a tune up. Pissed me off.
Looking at everything, card should've been:
Lubin/Gausha 10 rds
Charlo/Lara 12 rds
LSC/Mares 12 rds
Maybe do Hurd/Trout on a Tuesday card.
I mean is it that f-cking difficult?
