    I think Tito should be the favorite without question but man does Lara and his high boxing IQ and movement present a major challenge to Tito. It would not surprise me one bit if Lara outboxed Tito but the safer bet is on Tito's power. I could see Lara deploying strategy very similar to what Oscar did.

    It's not like Canelo's power bothered Lara. That's bad news for Tito.

    I do because that Don King hype job gets his over-rated ears boxed clean off his head.

    Alvarez didn't land many notable head shots. Angulo, however, did drop Lara twice. Regardless, I think Lara's one of the great 154-pounders and his footwork and pinpoint punching sees him take a decision here.

    The Angulo fight seemed a little out of character for him. The one question I have is if Lara would run all night and lose a decision, but I don’t really see why he would.

    He’s done it before, the little conman.
