    At 154... Lara is quick and has good movement (Two qualities that gave Tito a lot of problems).

    Does he have a chance to win?

    I don’t trust Lara to do enough work to press the advantages his defensive acuity would provide... He makes Trinidad look stupid at times but Trinidad catches him admiring his own work and forces the action en route to a tidy, if not inspiring decision win, doing most of his damage very late

    Trinidad knocks him out at some point. I have zero faith in Lara's chin handling Tito's power.

    Similar to Trinidad vs Reid??

    I think Lara has good skills but he’s often in one gear. Doesn’t give you much more than a right jab and straight left hand. I thought he beat Canelo but allowed himself to be robbed.

    How he handles Trinidad’s power would be a difference maker.

    Somewhat similar but Lara probably avoids that degree of shellacking
