    SOMEHOW Lara who hasn't fought at middleweight since his pro debut 13 years ago will face the mediocre Cornflake for the vacant WBA middleweight title. Really disappointing fight. I guess Uncle Al wants to make a Charlo/Lara unification bout later on during the year.

    Also manana.

    It wouldn't be a unification if Charlo fought him as Murata is now the WBA super champ.

    Another terrible 2021 fight on PBC/FOX.

    So basically this is just the PBC creating a new bunch of fake WBA belts in a vain attempt to legitimise their otherwise worthless fights.

    WBC have no problem with regular belt. In fact Nery will face Figueroa who is the regular champ. IBF and WBO don't recognize it.

    God ****ing damn the WBC that wretched husk of a sanctioning body. You know you're really dirty when the IBF and WBO look upstanding next to you.

    Kind of shocked Luis Ortiz isn't involved somehow.

    He'll probably be in the audience ready to tell an interviewer the fight between him and Ruiz needs to marinate.

    Came here to post about this... Lamanna is ranked 102 amongst active middleweights on Boxrec, another joke "title" fight.
    Lara is as frustrating as GRJ and Andrade with their unwillingness(or inability) to face real opponents.

    They have all these fighter occupying the same divisions and so far they’ve announced
    Ruiz vs Arreola
    Lara vs Lamanna(Who?)
    Harrison vs Perrella(Who?)

    We’re talking about three Top 5 guys in their divisions and ex-champions facing guys that’s maybe top 40. Meanwhile prospects in Vergil Ortiz just fought ex champion Mo Hooker and Jarron Ennis is scheduled to face ex champion and #9 WW Sergey Lipinets. You can’t make this up.

    And when did Gilberto Mendoza and Al Haymon forge a relationship to where every PBC fight has to be for a vacant regular or interim WBA belt.

    Lamanna is not bad. He was unlucky against Mendoza, i had him ahead. Lara is getting old and his style needs speed. He is 37 now, could age over night from one fight to another. Maybe this is the right time for an upset.
