Anyone watching Telefutura tonight? (Erislandy Lara, Frankie Gomez, Randy Caballero)

Dunno what's the point of feeding Lara with bums, he stopped Grady Brewer who holds a win over a current world champion, match Erislandy with K9 already!

Gomez is a don't miss even if he'll blow out this dude in a few minutes.

 

Raines pulled out

 

Even better! Too much Christmas cookie? Golden Boy should stop foolin' around and throw Lara into the deeps.

 

Any word if Lara is fighting a sub for Raines? Or is that fight just getting scraped?

 

:good

k9 is a perfect opponent for lara

 

Frankie Gomez is yet to impress me to be honest. Gomez seems to be held in high regard due to his amateur background, but im yet to be wowed by a performance of his.


I think Gomez fights too square, has a tendency to get wide with his punches, doesn't seem to use the jab that much, looks for big singles (counters), beit on the backfoot or front foot.

It could be that he's looking to make a statement against these lower echlon fighters, and might be being a bit too overly aggressive, but with a name like "Pitbull", it makes me think if that's not the way he always fights.

 

Hard to judge Lara based on 1 round, but he seemed not be fighting with his hands glued to the side of his head the way he normally does, which will help him imo, he also utilized the right hook a little, which I've felt he's neglected in the past.

 

Gomez is a fighter with great potential. He has the power and aggression, a decent fundamental base; a bit undeveloped but you can tell he can learn and improve his style. Lara, like many fighters, should be stepping up. I heard he's fighting Canelo's brother next. I suppose its a start due to the relation. This Caballero impressed me, fast hands, good movement, good counter-punches and combinations, doesn't get hit too often.

 

do you really think Canelo, K9 and the others prospects want to fight Lara? Actually after this fight he will go for the WBA belt, and Baldomir was a one fight wonder he won the lttery that day, he is old and has never been much of a boxer with not much pop either.

 

Gomez looked really pedestrian.

His "don't miss" cred is gone; he'll have to work hard to earn it back.
