Now for the last 4 yrs I’ve picked nothing but losers in big fights, I would really put the house on Lara to win by wide UD but for some reason Vegas are to close when it comes to picking odds and I’m wondering who’s the favorite
Anybody know the odds for Lara/Hurd

i think so. lara is old, only has the one-two minus the two. and hurd is huge and will walk him down, lara doesnt have the power to keep him off.
Obviously Prime lara schools him to a decision but he aient even close to prime.Comment

yeah a prime Lara would win.....but i feel hurd style is all wrong for lara.....he like's his pace and does not like to be pressured....this combined with the fact he's older/past it(but not shot) and has not been in a challenging fight since vanes two years ago.......Comment

U better off donating that money I haven’t seen anybody make Lara look past prime, now I do think things could get scary for him in he later rnds just because he’ll have a big dude breathing down his neck all night but I’ve seen him fight off the back foot quite easy for 12 rndsComment

I think he slowed down a little bit and isnt as mobile on his feet anymore, but his last competitive fight was against canelo nearly 4 years ago and canelo himself isnt a frontfoot pressure fighter and cant cut off the ring well making laras footwork look much more effective.U better off donating that money I haven’t seen anybody make Lara look past prime, now I do think things could get scary for him in he later rnds just because he’ll have a big dude breathing down his neck all night but I’ve seen him fight off the back foot quite easy for 12 rnds
Angulo, whose bread and butter is to walk down his opponents, was able to pin down lara on the ropes and touch him up. I believe Freddy Hernandez was also able to pin lara down, but I cant find any footage anymore.
then you have smith, rodriguez, zaveck, martisrosyan II, foreman and gausha, who were all not able to bring the fight to lara and close the distance well.
All these guys were either shot or midrange kind of guys, which suits lara well, because no one really outboxes him at midrange.
Hurd eats a lot of flush shots, but is very durable. He takes a shot and gives a shot and in exchanges often damages his opponent more than they are hurting him.
I dont think lara can avoid exchanges for 12 rounds. Hurd is big and strong for 154 and isnt as easily to clinch, because of his size.Comment
