Lara still showed that he's a world class fighter even at age 40. I personally would like to see Janibek and Lara go at it in the ring. Does Lara have enough in the tank and tricks up his sleeves to surprise Janibek?
If they actually fought each other, it wouldn´t be. We should be happy that we even got a unified champ.
The only fight I'm interested in seeing at Middleweight is Alimkhanuly vs Sheeraz. Lara beating Zerafa doesn't mean a lot since Zerafa is domestic level at best.
He's a world class fighter until he shows otherwise. He's earned that much for how consistent he's been. Zerafa may not be that good, but that's still a very impressive performance for a 40 year old who has been in the game for as long as Lara has.
