    I haven't seen his most recent fights, but O'Sullivan is 37 so definitely old himself in addition to getting pummeled any time he steps up in class.

    I didn't realize Spike was that old..................I guess the age/wear factor may be a wash then

    Even though he had a moment or two against Munguia, I thought Spike looked just about at the end of the road and that was almost 2 1/2 years ago. Unless Lara has fallen off a cliff (...literally) then Lara should piece him up and stop him

    It's not a title shot. They're fighting for the utterly pointless WBA regular poundland belt. The most meaningless trinket in sport.

    I think that would be more competitive than people think

    I just enjoy Spike because he talks so much smack.

    Isn’t this just for the “regular” title or whatever they call it?

    It's a regular fight indeed. No actual world title on the line.

    Lara is 39, doesn't have a Lemieux left hook and is now fighting at 160.

    This fight will be closer than you think.
