Comments Thread For: Erislandy Lara: Brian Castano "A Must-Win Fight For Me'

[richardt]

Castaño is nothing special

He was knocked out against a C class fighter.

Easy win to Lara

He is 15-0 with 11 KO's. Who knocked him out??

[BendOver]

“The American Dream” outworked and out-landed Canelo Alvarez during a split-decision loss in July 2014".

This sh.it is false

Canelo outlanded Lara in power punches.

He definitely make ginger look like a novice.

Unless he is completely shocked from last fight, any version of Lara plays with Castaño, he took everything from Hurd and went down only once in the last round, I don't think Castaño hits as hard or throws as much as Hurd, and won't be as big as Hurd, Lara needs a big win to stay relevant, he showed he can **** for 12 rounds, I'll pick him to win by KO, most fighters from Argentina have a hard time when they step up.

Very good post.

Lara is a great fighter and should win easily.

Castaño won a very close fight against Soro and Lara is way better than him in every aspect

That's called a knock down, not a knock out, you do know the difference???

Sh^t in boxing every fight is a must win fight more or less. At the top ten level it is anyway. Fans too hard on boxers after L's in boxing. Be the #3 guy in the division on Saturday morning & "a bum" Sunday morning too a good segment of fans.

That said looking forward to this one. Big fan of Lara & BCC. Should be a compelling fight. Its a big jump up in class for BCC, but BCC is a talented cat & Lara is getting older + there has gotta be some question on how much that tough Hurd fight mighta taken outta him.

[DeaconFrost]

Lara in many eyes is undeafeted. Maybe all of the L’s should’ve been draws. He might draw again. Good luck to him. Dude has a couple years left in the tank.

Hurd was too big for Lara, yet Lara still hung in there and would've won but for the KD. This Castano is big too... although not quite as much firepower as Hurd. Lara has more experience, and he has some pop also. I keep hoping Lara would get one easy fight in between all these tough ones, but still waiting I guess. LOL

IMO it will be a grueling fight for both, but Lara should come thru it with a UD or late KO.
