    I much prefer this to the Benn fight, a proper boxing contest as opposed to a circus. Who wins?

    Even at Laura's advanced age, it's a 50 / 50 fight
    Eubank has never done well against fighters with skills like Lara so he will have to be on point

    Fairly smart move by Eubank, finally attempting to win a world title and even if he loses, he still has the useless Benn fight to fall back on

    It had to be something like this that gave Eubank a world title. I'd love to see him lose, but I'd be surprised to see this match go ahead.

    Lara beats him wide but will probably get jobbed on the cards. Eubank isn't at this level even as old as Lara is.

    I actually quite like Eubank now he's grown on me over the years but I just wish he'd test himself instead of looking for the easiest route
    * Edit - not that I consider Lara an easy route, he's still on good form for his age and would box Jr's head off

    This is a good fight. Not just because it will annoy Hearn and Benn but it should make for a good clash of styles

    This could be the youngsters coming of age fight.

    Young CHRIS via 10-12 corner stoppage

    Lara, even at his age, remains the favourite here IMO.

    I don't understand this fight. They don't suit each other well and I don't think it will be a watchable fight.

    Lara doesnt like running as much any more, way more emphasis on hard shots now.
    Would be more entertaining than people think.

    Pity the fight is never going to happen.

    I hope Benn takes Barrios fight, and expect Eubank to fight a scrub

    Will be sad if the young warhorse drowns Lara with his youth and mastery of the warrior's code.
