I thought for SURE that Lara would blast out Delvin fucking bum ass Rodriguez. But nooooo, he was simply content to drop Rodriguez, hurt him several times... and coast to a 12-round UD. If he had opened up he would have surely KO'd Rodriguez, but it's just not him in him to put much emphasis on being an offensive force. His lack of offense is what blew him the Canelo fight. Had he let his hands go more in that one, he woulda won in commanding fashion, as Ginger could do FUCK ALL in that fight when Lara was letting his hands go. There's NO killer instinct at all in Lara, and it's basically turned me off from rooting for him. And if he DOES land the GGG fight, he gets KO'd. We all know that Lara has the chin of an accountant, and that Golov will find him sooner or later.
Lara won pretty easy. The blame should be on haymon for putting him in with a guy not on his level. Put him in with a better opponent and it's a more interesting fight
Then explain why the Canelo fight was boring? Lara had the ability to outbox Canelo the way Rigo did Donaire - but there's something missing from him.
That's just it, Haymon Put Lara in with a Guy he SHOULD have Looked Impressive Against... World Class Fighters KO Delvin Rodriguez, Usually Early Doors... REED
He's an Amateur POINT Fighter to a FAULT... Hurting and/or FINISHING an Opponent Rarely Enters Lara's Mind... REED
I watched a Lara fight long time ago and bored me to death. I have not bothered to watch any of his fights since then.
he's not as good as rigondeaux defensively, nor does he hit as hard with the left hand. alvarez is a boring fighter too against certain opponents. he is measured and doesnt press the fight. lara is not boring if you put him in with attacking fighters like angulo and williams
Riiiight.... Getting Stopped by a Straight Up, Punch Drunken BUM like Feliciano, Shouldn't Be Held AGAINST Rodriguez...& Even Though Feliciano NEVER Approached World Class Level, yet STOPPED Rodriguez, it Shouldn't Be Held AGAINST Lara that he FAILED to Do Likewise...OK.. Beyond that, it's Actually Haymon's Fault for MATCHING Lara w/Rodriguez in the 1st Place... REED:wack:
cotto blew rodriguez out, and he is the only guy. that was my point. i remember that feliciano fight, very flukish where rodriguez was completely schooling that bum then he fell apart inexplicably.
Neil, do you feel like that there might be an opportunity or two for a PROUD BLACK MAN like you in Spokane, WA....I hear there is a vacancy for a wannabe.
