    At 41 years old, to put on a performance like that, a boxing masterclass is a true testament of his ability, he’s one of few master boxers throughout history, just perfection on the outside, truly flawless, from the jab, the timing, straight left, check hook and defence, some may call it boring, but this is the art of boxing, appreciate it whilst it’s here people.
    What next for Lara? There’s at least 1 last big payday in the game for him, Canelo rematch? Terence Crawford? Who else is there?

    He did look well ol' Lara

    Garcia was devoid of anything

    He will keep fighting once a year vs the same level opposition he has been since 2019. I don´t think he will retire any time soon.

    Always liked Erislandy. His defense vs Garcia last night was the one I was lookin forward to. And at 41, Lara has had a very nice career

    I thought Danny was going to have an emotional breakdown like McCall did.

    TBH I hope he retires. The only scope for seeing him in an entertaining fight is if he fights a pressure fighter who embroils him into a war, and who wants to see a geriatric in a war?

    Masters world title fight with GGG. Swansong for both. Would be epic.

    Masterful
    Canelos daddy beat garcia mentally with footwork, distance, and feints.

    Then calls out his son and crawford.

    I'd pay big bucks to see if crawford could solve canelos father's style.

    If crawford can win that, he's clearly earned a canelo fight.
