    I think it could be very competitive (50/50). What do you think ?

    Lara. I rate Brook, but Lara is #1 or close to #1 at 154 and deserves to be the favourite.

    I think it's a snooze-fest waiting to happen with a lot of posturing and feinting and very little commitment. At this point, if Brook can't get the win, he's a complete hype job. That said, I suspect he will.

    Brook SD Lara

    Lara by TKO. Brook has no power at 154 or 160.

    SD/MD predictions are a little bit strange for me. What does it mean ? Very close fight, or corrupted judges ? Or both ?

    If this match take place in UK, Lara will have to be much better to get a victory.

    Brook by TKO. Who doesn't love outlandish bets?

    Lara is a very good mover and I think brook is fast and can negate that advantage and force exchanges

    However the bad left eye vs laras dangerous left can be trouble especially since Lara has faster hands than Golovkin just not the power but that injury to the eye could be a real problem

    I see a very tactical fight with Brook trying to fight, maybe similar to the canelo fight

    I'd like to see it, but before they fight I would have to see Brook fight someone of a smaller caliber to see how his eye holds up. Assuming his body holds up I'd actually favor Brook in the fight and if the fight happens in the UK with the same judges/ref they had in the GGG fight then even if Brook loses Lara would get robbed worse than vs Canelo lmao.

    I think Brook is totally wrong for Lara.

    His jab is better, he has a better chin, more power, and his footwork is too good for Lara to run from, furthermore Brook is brilliant and creating angles and judging distances- Lara only looks good against people that aren't

    Brook wins by TKO, Lara while very skilled, isn't that hard to land on, Angulo, Molina, Williams and Vanes landed plenty. Brook has faster feet and is more accurate than any of them. And for the record I would have picked Brook before the GGG fight as well.
