    Teuw. :nod

    True provided he boxes smart and is consistently first to get off, baiting with the lead and then countering when the slower and less sharp Rodriguez engages him.

    If he lets D-Rod back him into corners or the ropes he could lose control in a hurry.

    This will be Delvin Rodriguez's first fight since Oscar Diaz died.

    It will be interesting to see how he reacts. Will he dedicate the fight to Diaz? Not to be crass, but will he be relieved that Diaz is finally at rest and he doesn't have to be reminded all the time about what he did?

    Delvin was always a solid pro. Lara has had some odd performances. Hell, he barely survived Angulo. And he fought evenly with Martirosyan.

    Lara should be the clear favorite, but this is one of those fights where anything can happen. To me, it really all depends on Rodriguez's state of mind.

    Also, most of the PBC fights that people expect to be one-sided don't seem to turn out that way.

    Lara by wide UD or TKO. Rodriguez isn't anything special.

    Over the river & through yonder woods, by grandma's house.
