Lara will be exposed soon for not being able to fight inside. He loves to box from the outside, and that's his style, but a true boxer puncher will beat him. Lara is winning so that's what counts, but I'm not sold on him either.like williams or angulo, oh no ginger... LOL

Alexander is another converted southpaw that I just can't put faith in. Like Ward, he can fight inside though.

Now you see the difference in a true southpaw and a converted southpaw.

Trout just has no natural left hand. This is why I never had faith in converted fighters. The Cotto's, Dlh's, Trout's, and even Ward. With Ward, and I like Ward of the lot...but I'm not sold on him totally. The good thing about Ward is that he can fight inside while the others can't and that makes a big difference in your style even as a converted fighter.
It's just something about these converted guys that irks me to the point that I don't trust them in big fights.
