Not hurting it for me. These unpopular divisions(jr middleweight, super middleweight, cruiserweight) usually has the top contenders facing off. That's why I watch them. Look at the cluster **** happening at welterweight. It's time to strip Thurman.

Look at his connect % then go compare it to his other fights or floyd vs. Canelo. Slick fighters aren't suppose to look and miss soo much.
And are you like others that completely ignore body work??? Any real boxer will tell you those are the WORSE!! I bet Lara pissed blood after that fight.

I don't have a problem with Lara and I don't have a problem with the article. The Gosha fight was boring but so is Gosha. You put two boring fighters in the ring and you get an incredibly boring fight. Other than that fight, the Molina and Smith fights were the other two that stood out as boring. Again, incredibly boring fighters. If tonight's fight turn out to be boring that's a sure victory for Lara.

I knew from the title that it was written by him
Lara’s the man at 154 and if boxing was a fair sport he’d be undefeated.
He’s a winner and in sports that’s all that matters l. Were the SAN Antonio Spurs bad for basketball when they were winning their championships? . Were the New Jersey devils bad for hockey when they kept winning Stanley cups ? No they weren’t.
The point of sports is to win , anything extra like entertainment is extra.
Hale claims Lara doesn’t bring in new fans so what 95% of boxers don’t increase the sports profile even if they are exciting or have a personality
He said the fighters he lost too weren’t interested in a rematch yeah no sh.it because the fighters and their team know they lost and a rematch would probably be the same even if they got a undeserved decision
He also said Lara wouldn’t face Charlo when Lara already stated he would if he wins.
Lara holds the crown until someone can take it and being a long reigning champion isn’t bad for the sport no matter how much people don’t like his style
Lara does not do that in the slightest, he's terrible for the sport in general.
Hopefully the deck was stacked against him in this fight with a small ring, a ref that lets fighters get rough on the inside, and judges that appreciate a come forward fighter because Lara has been ruining cards long enough and its time for him to go.
So far Rigo, Barthelemy and Ortiz have tasted defeat-lets hope this Cuban losing train hits the Lara station tonight
