Erislandy Lara stops Grady Brewer in 10!

Lara ain't playin no games! What a way to start off the year for Lara. Man I wish i had FSN right about now. This will be a fight, great matchmaking by Lara's handlers.

 

Thats a big jump, if Lara gets past Brewer then hes ready for a title shot next.

 

Very tough fight if Brewer is ready to fight. I could see Grady posing some problems for Lara. If Lara aces this test, it's probably onto an eliminator.

 

Pumped! Gamboa on 1/23, Lara on 1/30. Great month to be a boxing fan!

 

or a Cuban lol

 

nope, gotta fight some contenders first at least and then he can make that jump. But he's doing something a lot of contenders a chicken to do in fighting Mr. Brewer

 

damn bro i leaked this info way before anyone on the media knew it but noone noticed, im glad to see lara back on tv and a step up too now we'll see what he made out of

 

Right on. The thin month of January just got a little more beefed up!

 

I hope Fox deportes covers this.

 

Brewer has spoiled some prospects before, hope he can do it again!

 

Lara should win, and WILL win. This is a good fight for him though.

 

this fight is the co-feature to Campillo/Shumenov 2 which will be on FSN

 

Quote from Brewer: “There’s no denying Lara’s talent, but he’s not ready for me or this fight,” said Brewer. “I’ve paid my dues the hard way and now it’s time for me to make my move. This ain’t the amateurs and I’m going to let Lara know that on January 29.”

All these american boxers know how to say is " this ain't the amateurs " as they know that they always get an ass whooping in hands of the Cubans, they have to say that to " sound good and convince themselves that now they have improved ", but now he will know what fighting a Cuban star is all about...Amateur or Pro, brewer is getting it. :bbb

This is no step up for Lara, Brewer is a C fighter who has been KO'ed around 6 times, beaten by UD around 4 times etc, he has like 11 loses plus at age 39??? What does he think? Does he think he is fighting just another american prospect? HE IS NOT, he is fighting a Cuban World Amateur Champion, something that brewer can only dream of being...

Lara will stop this dude in mid rounds with ease, no step up for Lara just another good learning experience!!!

brother please, the Cubans have arrived...

 

The last prospect Grady Brewer faced was 18-0 Albert Onolunose. Poor Albert no longer has that zero he was so proud of. He got sparked in 2 rounds.

The prospect before that was 15-0 Anthony Thompson. Thompson lost his zero when Grady stopped him in the 3rd round. At the end of the day Thompson retired from boxing rather than face Brewer a second time.

One fight before Thompson, Brewer derailed 16-0 Miguel Martin.

Anybody besides me see a pattern here? Brewer has nicked a total of 5 or 6 zeros. I have been telling you guys for a long time that you do not put your undefeated prospect in with Grady freaking Brewer unless you are 100% certain he is the real deal, and I am not convinced that Lara has truly made the transition from fighting like an amatuer to fighting like a pro.

Grady Brewer is not the same kind of journeyman as Perez, Varela, and Boone. He's cut from a different brand of cloth. If the news that Lara was about to fight Steve Forbes or Cornelius Bundrage broke, most of us would agree that's to much to soon. Fact is, Grady beat both those guys.

Grady can box, he can fight, he can spoil and fiddle and frustrate, and if an opponent is not careful, Brewer will knock him the **** out.

This is a very gutsy move by Team Lara, but it may very well prove to be a stupid one. If Lara beats Brewer, I will come on here and tell you he is the real deal.
