    I won't be a hypocrite, I once said I was curiously looking forward to this fight. Disappointed it took so long to make, but I'll watch it. I agree that at this stage in their careers the fight wont mean much, but I do have a curiosity to see how their styles play out at this point. I have no doubt that Lara would have outboxed Danny in their prime, I rate his skills one level higher. But, one thing about these 2010s defensive wizard fighters (i.e. Lara, Mayweather, Rigondeaux, etc..) is that once age took their footwork away they became much more hittable.

    Without his moving footwork, Lara will be more stationary which, in theory, should allow Danny the chance to get some hits in. So it might become a thriller I think. We'll see

    Only reason I don't mind this foght too much is its probably one of the better risk/reward fights for Lara at this stage where hes probably making a decent purse.

    Also, he is actually the favorite to win this, so should he win will still be a relatively high profile win for him, despite Garcias irrelevancy within the division.

    But ya Garcias resume is very iffy.
