    Prime for prime... I'd take Brook. Currently both are way past it but Lara less so

    Lara by close decision, that might get scored a draw.

    Prime vs prime Lara by easy UD, right now Lara by late stoppage since Brook is damaged goods.

    Interesting, I don't see how Brook beats prime Lara the one who easily beat Williams, Trout and gave Canelo a tough fight.

    Lara should probably win, but it won't be super easy and I can't see a stoppage.
    I can see Lara just being a bit passive taking it easy and Brook making it a real fight with his aggressive style.

    Could be a draw, both must be a bit past prime now. Lara has still looked pretty handy tbh even with his pretty tough schedule.
    I thought Lara beat Castano comfortably
