Comments Thread For: Erislandy Lara Focused on Castano, But Has One Eye on Hurd

[Shrap]

With the beating Lara took in that first fight his handlers would be wise to keep him away from Hurd and go for a different champ. He's old for a smaller guy and you don't bounce back from such brutal wars easily. If they rematch Hurd will be fresh as ever and Lara will be even older. I wouldn't be surprised if Hurd retired him.

Please believe it! Watch Castano vs. Derevyanchenko, and Castano vs. Vitu on YouTube! BCC is nothing to play with!

i've been following brian since his debut. he is from my neighborhood. trains in my university. he is a very complete fighter, especially in the offense. i'm really excited about this fight

I did see Vitu being effective early on with the straight left! He has to use more head movement instead of only trying to use the high guard! I still think with Lara being 35, this is a 50/50 fight!

I'd like to see Lara and Charlo, if he quits shouting when there is a mic infront of him and gets to it. The hurd fight would be good but i can see it ending the same way the first one did.

Another close fight?

so hurd didn't took any punishment? I wonder why he didn't do the rematch.

Lara is getting old he doesn't have time much time before his age catches up to him. I'd like to see him become champion again. His last fights should be rematch with Hurd and then Charlo and retire!!

Lara should move up to 160.

If this is a close I can see Lara on the receiving end of a bad decision

[TexasCowBoy]

The Real Swift Hurd (unlike Tropical "Swift" Mexican Danny Garcia) disciplined and punished Lara

Castano's going to take a bad beating in this one.
