Man, reading the last several pages from today has had a nikka like
Lara being called Lateral. Got dayum if that ain't true.
He's skilled, but he's one of those nikkas that doesn't get the most out of his skills. He's like a battle rapper that sounds dope in a corner cypher, but put him in the studio with some beats and tell him to make an album and somehow dude will fall apart and fukk that up. All that skill you saw on the corner is limited to a few songs or punchlines. You're not getting the complete performance from him on that level. He's just not built for that.
That's Lara right there. He'll show you some brilliant moments, but it''s rarely put together in a complete dominant performance. All the intangibles like heart, and grit disappear when shyt gets tough. All you get is moving and more moving an then an occasional right jab and straight left. Wash rinse and repeat.
I've seen enough boring ass fights in my life. Golovkin/Lateral is like the 2016 version of Taylor/Spinks. Who would want to see something like that again.
and if Lara manages to win a couple rounds and go the distance, the haters will act like he put on some clinic and got robbed. Scorecards will get filled out before they even enter the ring.
Nah, I'm good with that.
Bring on Eubanks Jr., Saunders, Lee etc...
.I wanna see cats actually use their skill to try and win, not box for half of the fight and then run during the other half because body shots are painful and shyt.
