    My assessment is that Lara is a pretty good fighter he is a wild brawler with good power.

    I think he will struggle with guys who can move like a kid Galahad or someone with great speed Gary Russell.

    I think he would Ko wood brutally.

    Lara vs Nava would be a good fight but I think Navarrete beats him.

    Santa Cruz Vs Lara would be a cracker of a fight Leo would be favored to outbox him though but I could see Lara maybe koing this version of Leo

    in my personal opinion, I think Lara should rest up take a tune-up in Mexico before fighting Warrington I don’t think Eddie will allow this though. However, if Lara and Warrington fought 10 times Lara ko’s him all 10. It is a bad-style matchup watching the fight yesterday and the first seems like Lara just walks though Warrington’s shots and rocks him. Warrington is also not a pure boxer so he will never be able to just pot shot and stay away If you can not get someone’s respect it is over.

    What are you guys thoughts on ole Bronco and what he should do next?

    I thought he looked a little better technically in the 2 rounds that the rematch lasted, which should help him against the more technical outboxer guys.
    I can't see him ever being the true number 1 in the division, but I think that if he does take on the other top guys, he may give us some cracking fights.

    For sure he did look better he showed a good right hand and he attacked the body more. I think he can be a world champion though but not the best.

    He earn the respect of the fans fo sure. I remember the first fight they was saying he is slow and crude. Sparked Worryington out.


    Seems to have improved in the second fight as well. He trained well for the rematch.He said he had more time to prepare and it shows. It was only a matter of time, really. Worryington knew it and had to think quick smart use head no pun intended.

    Eddie tried to feed Josh a can and it backfired. I had no idea who Lara was but he's one tough guy and Eddie underestimated him
