Erislandy Lara fighting for world title Nov. 5 in Mexico!
Straight from his facebook.

I wonder which champ?

 

Here is another from the same tread:

Ok, his wife commented and said if all goes well its Serhiy Dzinziruk


In mexico?? WTF

 

El representante de Erislandy Lara afirmó que se gestiona una pelea para el cubano en México el próximo 5 de noviembre, en una cartelera que será transmitida en directo por HBO.

Luis de Cubas Jr. informó que se encuentra en estos momentos en conversaciones con la empresa Golden Boy Promotions, que tiene una parte de los derechos del guantanemero, para el próximo combate.

El rival sería el invicto estadounidense Austin Trout o el ucraniano Serhiy Dzinziruk.

“Estamos en plenas negociaciones y todo va por buen camino”, dijo De Cubas Jr. “Nuestra idea es que Lara tenga una pelea más antes de fin de año y luego en el 2012 busque un combate por el título mundial”.

Lara cumplió una gran actuación el 9 de julio pasado en Atlantic City contra Paul Williams, pero los jueces le dieron la victoria al estadounidense. El fallo fue tan descarado que la Comisión de Boxeo de Nueva Jersey, en un fallo inusual, suspendió a los tres jueces.

En dicha pelea, el guantanamero sufrió un cabezazo en la frente que le produjo una fisura, y tuvo que viajar por tierra desde Nueva Jersey a Miami, para que la presión del avión en la altura no lo afecte.

De Cubas Jr. afirmó que Lara se encuentra plenamente recuperado y ya ha iniciado sus entrenamientos.

“El sábado viajo a Belfast, para la pelea del colombiano Breidis Prescott contra el irlandés Paul McCloskey el próximo 10 de septiembre”, manifestó De Cubas Jr. “A mi regreso dejaré listo todo el plan de preparación de Lara para el combate del 5 de noviembre”.

Uno de los atractivos de la cartelera será la presentación del mexicano Alfredo Angulo, quien firmó con Golden Boy Promotions, pero no ha podido conseguir la visa para ingresar y pelear en Estados Unidos

it could be Dzinziruk or Trout

 

Awesome, Lara deserves to have a World Title belt around his waist. They should remove that ridiculous " loss " in his record, that was a total robbery! :fire

 

Mike Perez was on a september 10 card in Belfast but now he is off the card

 

I have my doubts about Perez. Yes he is very strong, fast, aggressive and powerful but it seems to me he lacks technique and is a little wild. Juan C Gomez in his prime had better technique but lacked KO power and discipline.

Who knows, maybe Perez proves me wrong. I surely hope he makes it far!

 

Three cubans ranked in 154 pound:

Erislady Lara 6 in WBC, 7 in WBA, 8 in IBF, and 9 in WBO
Yudel Jhonson 8 in WBC
Giorbis Barthelemy 11 in IBF

 

Yoandris Salinas ranked 15 in WBC 122 pound

 

Despaigne and Dorticos ranked earlier but not this month.

 

Does anybody know what happened to or have the clip on Youtube with Yuriorkis Gamboa sparring John Jackson? It was titled "gamboa entrevista su preparar" or something like that. A great clip it was put up like 2-3 Years ago or so and now it's gone. DAMNIT man!

Lara had been considered for a clash of southpaws opposite WBO titleholder Sergei Dzinziruk (37-1, 23 KOs), but that did not work out, said Schaefer.

"I was informed by [Dzinziruk's promoter] Gary Shaw that that is not going to happen, so we are going to see if maybe Lara against Kirkland can be a possibility," said Schaefer.

"Gary Shaw said that Dzinziruk is not going to work because of financial reasons. So it is a possibility that Kirkland could be getting the fight with Lara."

The 27-year-old Kirkland (29-1, 26 KOs) scored his second straight knockout in as many wins since being reunited with trainer Ann Wolfe after stopping Alexis Hloros 25 seconds into the second round in July.

Another possibility to face Lara is southpaw WBA "regular" beltholder Austin Trout (23-0, 13 KOs), said Schaefer.

 

After winning a one-sided technical decision over former world champion Daniel Ponce de Leon in front of 2,000 fans at Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall on Saturday night, unbeaten former unified featherweight champion Yuriorkis Gamboa confirmed again that he will not stay in the featherweight division but move up in weight to get better fights against big names. “I’m done at 126,” stated Gamboa. “There’s nothing left for me to prove. I want to fight the best boxers in the world. Living legends like Manny Pacquiao. To be the best you have to beat the best. That is what I did at featherweight. And that is exactly what I want to continue doing. So bring on the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world.”

 

I am not excited about this at all, 130 doesnt have anything to offer
