If Lara does happen to win, it's not gonna be by cruising to a decision. He might limp past the finish line or just about reach it, but he won't be cruising.

Lara is harder to hit than them other nikkas, but he gives up on his own offense to do so. If he didn't, he would have beaten Canelo clean instead of some anti climax ass split decision where he ran all over the place once the going got tough.

Guys like the Michigan 3 (Toney, Bryd, Floyd) who can stand in the pocket and defend and be offensive without being bullied back, are all wrong for guys like Hurd.

nikkas that have to constantly move to get space defensively like Cotto, Lara, C Spinks,Khan etc...are food for guys like Hurd, because that movement just motivates him to stay on your ass and exhaust you.

You discourage pressure. You don't keep inviting it in by giving it space to operate.
I agree

and excuse my English I believe I used the term wrongly there

didn´t mean "cruising" as he gonna win easily on some 11-1 fashion shutout, I meant cruising like literally using a lot of lateral movement and fighting from the outside

I love you too my Caribbean brother but you gon put respect on Lara The Draw's name.

How you a draw and people leave the venue and turn the channel when you come on as the main event :mjlol:

Showtime’s viewership went down during Lara’s mundane, 12-round win against Gausha, a rarity for a main event of a premium-cable broadcast. According to ratings released Tuesday by Nielsen Media Research, Lara’s unanimous-decision victory over Gausha peaked at 476,000 viewers and averaged 399,000.

Immediately before Lara-Gausha, the second fight of Showtime’s 154-pound championships tripleheader from Brooklyn’s Barclays Center – Jermell Charlo’s spectacular one-punch, first-round knockout of Erickson Lubin – peaked at 537,000 viewers. The Charlo-Lubin bout, which lasted just two minutes and 41 seconds, averaged 495,000 viewers.

LB knowing our luck Lara will fight Hurd like he did Punisher and get jobbed in a fight that he really won lol

True but I still have my doubts on that happening.

Lara would have to fight like Cory Spinks did against Deandre Latimore.

Stand in the pocket and box the shyt outta of a nikka and sit on all your shots. I was surprised by that performance, because I didn't think Spinks had that type of resolve. He got dropped, got up and put in work instead of fleeing for his life.

Lara got the skills to do it, but he lacks the heart for me to really think he pulls that type of offense off.

true but that angulo was past it as fukk tho.

Hurd is bigger and peaking in his prime while Lara is the older guy who been fighting bums and fringe contenders recently. Circumstances ain't really in Lara favor like it was with Angulo.

Show me a 154lber getting bigger paydays and #s. :mjgrin:

I hope he make this an extra boring W just to make the ring more furious :mjgrin:

Charlo did better numbers as the co-main :mjgrin:

On Lara's own card :mjgrin:

The average on Charlo was higher than the peak of Lara :mjgrin:


Foreal I been waiting for Lara to fight a threat for a minute. I want to see him in that fire and glad this is a unification.
