    At 160? I’d go for Lara on points.

    I like Dannys chances to catch a not so nimble Lara anymore with a counter hook and a follow up attack that will take him out of the contest

    Danny after losing 11 rounds wins via being Puerto Rican.

    Crazily enough.... this is a very winnable match for the six toed lego haired freak. I'm leaning Danny by SD.

    If I fight happens and no one tunes in, can there be a winner?

    (Lara; Danny has not been good since 140.)

    I just read on Twitter, this is far from official and will not be happening on August 5th, at best it might occur in late August.

    Jesus, Danny is on the James Toney weight regimen of eating your way through weight classes instead of moving up methodically. 155 is Canelo weight. This weight class deserves a special made belt considering that 154 is a catch weight division by design.

    I heard this matchup a while ago, and I have no interest in it.

    PBC is trying to keep it in house with this lousy matchup between an over-the-hill middleweight and an over-the-hill welterweight. Lara beating Garcia means nothing and if Garcia beats Lara, it just shows how much he has declined.
