No problem let me explain in the simplest terms I can...
Lara doesn’t respond well to pressure and in that way isn’t as crafty or slick under pressure as maybe a Floyd, Toney or Crawford.
As such he doesn’t respond to pressure fighters well. When the walls are closing in on him he doesn’t do as well. He begins to panic and will either back pedal or trade to keep them off him.
Let’s forget the fake losses, the fighters he struggled most with weren’t the top boxers. They are Angulo, Hurd and now Casteno. Canelo was very competitive but I saw that as a clear win for Lara and until Canelo turned to pressure a comfortable fight. In closing, walk you down pressure fighters were even more effective than those that tried to box with him.
That being said, it makes sense that sparring with Lara, you are more likely to imitate the style that he has the most uncomfort with to have success. That could be encouraging the come forward pressure fighter style we see in Jermall. He seemed a lot more slick versed Williams than Korobov.
One more thing Korobov to his own success didn’t have a complete bag of tricks. However he had one of the best tricky unorthodox counters I have seen. It gave Jermall problems. And almost reminded me of the one Jermall caught J Rock with.
Jermall doesn’t seem like the fighter that learns as well in the moment. For example in the first Maidana fight, Floyd had a similar issue. However he adjusted and by mid-fight that overhand was landing less and less. Jermall caught on albeit later in the fight.
