Prime for prime, Bud figures out, catches up, cuts off, beats down and stops Lara in about 9 rounds. The last couple of rounds would be entertaining because Lara brawls pretty well when out of options. If it happens this year Bud KO4 Lara.
This would’ve been a great matchup if Lara was still in his prime. I’ll wait to see how he looks against Danny Garcia this week, but stylistically, he’s all wrong for Crawford.
Lara is wayy to classy and big in prime. Lara seems disinterested rather rotting away. Would be team Eris if he got the fight. Genuinely think he would see golden horizons, unsheath the cloak salaryman-athlete persona cloak and reveal his multi-armed form, the cagey southpaw jab 12ud of worlds. God…if Garcia does the job tomorrow. Bud vs Garcia
Crawford KO's Lara at this point, I actually view this similar to the Thomas Dulorme fight. Whatever success Lara has, will be undone after a couple of clean, and brutal, power punches by Crawford. He just doesn't have the legs anymore, we'll see when he fights Garcia just how far gone his athleticism is. In his prime at 154, I would have favored Lara by decision
