Comments Thread For: Jermell Charlo vs. Erislandy Lara in Play, Says WBC Prez

[Combat Talk Radio]

Ah man fuck! That's a mismatch! He wants to see that shit? I don't.

Lara is washed up and should carefully consider retirement. He is going to get hurt because his legs are gone now and he never had any power to keep Jermell off of him anyhow.

Hey Jermell fight Jeison Rosario for a title unification bout. He's a huge slugger just like you and much younger too.

How can he be washed when NOBODY has dominated him?

Even Manny lost UNANIMOUS to a school teacher. Lara has never suffered an embarrassing loss that wasn't a robbery (Williams).

No...Lara is a tough test for anyone because of his overly defensive F'n style.

Damn! I am salivating for this fight

For me is a perfect high risk/high reward tune up fight, but I expect the winner to fight Rosario.

[Dasmius Shinobi]

Pointless having fights in play right now as we have no idea when anything will be happening again.

Is important and wise to plan for the future don't matter the unknowns we are facing.

Well, that's true. However, we shall see. I can't see Lara at 36 years of age sticking and moving and as much as he did earlier in his career due to his age.

I may be wrong but I expect him to be a lot more flat-footed than usual to trade and exchange punches with the younger and stronger Jermell Charlo; Which will play right into Jermell's hands.

I see the Lara that stunk up the arena against Castano showing up here.

Can't really plan though. I mean, when is this fight happening? July 2020, November 2020, August 2021?

Tune up for who Lara? If you thought Harrison boxed circles around Charlo in the second fight then just wait and see what Lara does. I like Charlo but this aint a tune up and some of the comments on here are silly

Apparently they putting those dates with the hope this issue of Corona Virus end before the date. If they don't postponed a fight with a date, there are high chances that others sports get those date. Boxing don't want to lost their dates to the other sports, they are going to cancel and postpone dates to secure new dates.



I know this is irritating. I am trying to guess here, but Worst case scenario that can happen is, no boxing in 2020. We know the IOC put the 2020 Olympics to 2021, in that sense, all sports are in risk.

I was not clear and that is my wrong. I said that based of Lara 3 fights until this point. Lara can still compete and win this fight, but I believe Jermell Charlo is going to take Erislandy Lara in the right time, but hope I am wrong.

[Citizen Koba]

Real nice - Lara may be in decline, but he's still a very stern test for anyone at 154. I can maybe see Mell edging past him, but if he ain't at his best this could easily go to the old warhorse.

Shame we got no idea when this could even potentially happen right now and Erislandy's gonna be 37 next month.
