    I like this Cucan export. Southpaw who can fight well inside and out plus a decent right. His next fight is on the 22nd against Jessie Nicklow (19 wins 7 kos and 1 points loss). Anyone ever seen this guy and know if he has anthing to offer against Lara. Can't see them taking him to slow as he is 26.

    he's the guy that hatton was beating up in sparring right? I think he has alot of potential. He can win a world title one day.

    I heard something about Lara sparring with Hatton, but the comments I heard were the other way around (thats why they didn't show hattong sparring on 24/7)

    Best amateur boxer I've seen, lets see how he makes the transition before saying he's the best fighter.

    Lets be perfectly honest, he's old and the pro game is way different.

    I heard the same thing, i remember i was reading an article and the journalist that wrote it said after seeing lara in the sparring he vbelieved he will be in the top of the division in 2 years , so i thought wow he must've looked very good vs. hatton

    If you notice lara didnt really do anyhing wrong that fight it was just that it was so hard to look good against the opponent's style who wasnt engaging at all and was just guarding himself the whole time, i was looking at the fight and lara didnt get hit more than 4 times each round i think one of them he only got hit with 1 punch

    lara is just too patient...he needs to be explosive for him to land so strong following
