Erislandy Lara not making progress

He's had 8 fights

Count em EIGHT

 

Comparing prospects to Gamboa is ridiculous. As if every prospect is supposed to perform at that level and progress that fast

 

I had always believed that of ALL the "So Called" Cuban Prospects...Erislandy Lara and Yudel Johnson were the WEAKEST!!!!

 

You don't know crap about boxing. :|

 

His biggest mistake is that he attacks like that
1-2
1-2
1-2
1-2
1-2
1-2
1-2
1-2
1-2
1-2
1-2
1-2
1-2
1-2

 

Some of you guys are still failing to give Lara credit where credit is due. He fought the right kind of fight to deal with the opponent who was in front of him. He did not get overly aggressive because Brewer would have knocked him out if he tried that. He did not allow Grady to pot shot him into oblivion. He did not allow Brewer to bully, spoil, fiddle, and frustrate. Lara stayed calm, kept his composure, and stuck to fighting his fight. A kid who can do that in his 10th pro-fight, with a known spoiler in front of him, ought to get credit for it.

 

Lara is doing just fine. He'd school Angulo at this point already.

 

Great response stupid, i guess the cubans fans cant take some criticism of their boxers too well.


:hat:hat

Grady Brewer's record against undefeated prospects stands at 5-3. The 3 undefeated prospects who beat Brewer were Kelly Pavlik, Jermain Taylor, and Erislandry Lara. Brewer took the Pavlik and Taylor fights on short notice at 160. Lara fought an in-shape Brewer at Grady's best weight of 154. I'm not yet totally sold on Lara, but people need to know what the **** they are talking about BEFORE they start typing!
