    It would be a good fight.

    I think prime GGG would have won but I give Lara an excellent chance here. Not so much about age (Lara is nearly as old) but because I fear GGG has lost the fire and motivation and Lara is now the one who is more motivated.

    GGG would have to really come after Lara, it would be a very good win even st this age.

    Sounds to me like GGG is ducking Falcao. SMH

    I'll be happy to see GGG in action vs Lara. TBH even though Golovkin is older, I think he's less affected by it in this matchup because Lara's feet look slower. I could be wrong but I think Golovkin catches up to him and puts him to sleep.

    I give Lara a decent chance of seeing the 5th round, although I fear I'm being a little too optimistic. Hurd almost stopped him, Castano should've got the W. The version of GGG that fought Murata shows up, and it probably will. He retires Lara from the sport.

    Lara will probably lose after winning 7 rounds.

    Lara is a girl's name, Golovkin will win.

    Lara is too old for his style.

    GGG have to beat him inside 7 rounds

    One of them is a double-gifter.

    This has Artur(GGG) vs Bivol (Lara) vibes all over it.

    And I'm leaning towards Lara and Bivol in both.
