Lara vs Angulo this weekend

And to think, a few years ago this would have been a high profile fight. Now it seems like hardly anybody knows it's happening.

I expect Lara to outclass Angulo pretty one sidedly. He's still a top 5 junior middle, and Angulo has never been the same since the Kirkland beating, and lay off.

Thoughts?

 

I think you covered about as much thought i'll give it. Will watch though.

 

At this point, it's basically just a show case fight for Lara.

Angulo even at his best got outclassed by Shitron, and beat up by Kirkland. Neither guy is as good as Lara.

If Lara gives even HALF a damn, this will be target practice.

If he wants to make a statement, there's no reason why he shouldn't stop Angulo.

 

Better foe than vanes martyr is facing at least

 

Angulo COULDN'T Have Picked a WORSE Opponent, Stylistically...Angulo has a FAINT Puncher's Chance, but REED Fully Expects Lara to Outmanuever & COUNTER Angulo All Fight Looooooooong....He'll Be 1-2 Steps AHEAD of Angulo Throughout & Win by UD...



REED:fightme:

 

We can't even say it's a good styles difference fight.....Angulo is too slloowwwwww.... terrible matchup for Angulo....easy victory for Lara...

 

What is this Vanes character up to? He was beating up Chavez Jr. in sparring the last time I saw him, around 4 years ago.

 

Lara UD

 

is this on the same card as Maidana-Lopez?

 

Yep.

I don't think Angulo is taking punches very well these days. Lara really should stop him.

 

Lara is just too good for slow ass Angulo. I don't know why he's even take this fight.

Also, this could be a title fight, depending on if Canelo drops the WBA or WBC belt. The WBC is being a fucking shady bitch making him choose becuase suddenly they don't support unification fights so the fight with Trout was only for the WBA belt. If he drops the WBA, the winner of this fight will be the WBA champ.

 

If REED Isn't Mistaken, Dawson-Stevenson & Gamboa-Perez are on HBO...Maidana-Lopez & Lara-Angulo are on Showtime...

I think Angulo is underrated and Lara is overrated, but I agree that this matchup strongly favors Lara. I hope I'm wrong, though.

 

Lara's career highlight to me will always be beating Paul Williams up to the point where it was in doubt Paul would see the final bell, and magically losing in the scorecards. Everything else is basically a footnote.

 

i'm going with the upset and agree with mike that angulo is now underrated. i also think the kirkland loss was a freak thing. before running out of steam, angulo was on his way to knocking kirkland out. if they fought again angulo would surely win. angulo hits hard.

 

Angulo got outboxed clearly by Cintron, and beaten in 1 sided fashion by Kirkland.

How is he underrated? What has he done to warrant not being rated high enough between or after those bad losses? ::

I don't mind Angulo, but he's really not very good at world level. Lara should win fairly easily.

 

angulo/cotto

 

angulo drove from los angeles to florida in a compact car, by himself, the week of the cintron fight. i dont put any stock in that loss

 

Hahah, how come? What was the story at the time? Did he not have a proper camp or anything?

Would he have done any better if he'd driven there in a Cadillac with one other person in the car?

 

he ko'd rosado, alcine, tskurikstan, julio. those aren't great wins but they were all decisive.

 

But then he couldn't crack Mr. Heart pumps kool-aid Cintron...

 

because he wouldve been deported if he flew

 

That's mental. What do you think of the Kirkland loss? He looked pretty crap against Ishida's son too.

 

no excuses for the kirkland loss. he couldnt take him out, and got beatdown. like i said i dont put any stock in him losing to cintron. lara should win easily

 

He had fought 1 round in well over a year going into the Kirkland fight. And he looked really soft in the body.

Excuses, I know. But I thought so at the time too.

 

Lara via UD.

He'll counter punch this guy to death.

 

I bet he pack like a 3 inch CHODE

 

guys you know a chode isn't a penis, right?

also, angulo had reasons for his losses.. but bottom line, he just isn't that good.

 

Well, it is a certain type of penis. A penis that is wider than it is long, thereby being useless, and comical.

 

True. There is such a thing as a useless prick, but no such thing as a useless cunt.
