Lara 68-65

It took Lara more than a minute to recover from his sixth round beating but when he did he came on strong. By the end of the seventh he was staggering Lugo.

 

Glad I got up to watch this, turning into a cracking fight.

 

Could be another classic Lara performance where when it gets difficult he comes out even stronger.
