ESPN2 FNF: Erislandy Lara vs. Carlos Molina RBR

The fight was a draw, fair and square and I say it before that Molina was not a bum like so many here say he was, this is a good learning experience and he didn't got exposed and mediocre night, we all have I had seen worst from prospects and Champa, maybe some names will b knocking at his door now, time will tell in any case, but Lara will whoop some a$$.

 

mayweather/molina on the undercard.

 

Thanks IB. Good thread again.

Everybody, good watchin' with ya'll.

 

Yeah and those were his best rounds, imagine if he has better conditioning.

 

Better conditioning and the drive to let the gloves fly a little more = serious threat. Then again, that's much much easier said than done.

 

What is wrong with his drive? When he let his hands go, he did great. Then he stopped, WTF?? He has good hand speed, power, but seems to slumber in the ring from time to time. Is Ronnie Shields to blame here? Besides Lara, that is.

 

Lara didn't look to good. Maybe he just had an off night, **** happens. I wont say he was exposed until his next fight.

 

Laura just looked like he was on downers he just was not in it tonight but Molina did give it his all.

 

So you still think Lara beats Canelo??

 

If Lara goes in sleepwalking like today, he wouldn't even beat Cochulito. I don't know why, but he was sleeping in the ring.

 

He did look horrible tonight. IDK maybe weight issues. Seemed very tired.

I saw the same issues with him though. His lack of inside game. Well actually lack means you have to have some which i dont think he does.

I have said it plenty of times Angulo and Kirkland destroy him. Maybe even Williams.
Then again Angulo and Kirkland are no joke they beat most 154lbrs

 

Molina definitely isn't a bum but if Lara cant deal with a guy like that in impressive fashion you have to question if he will be able to do well against the upper echelon of fighters.

 

He wasn't tired, he was cooooooooool, very cooooooooool, way too coool. He has a good defense, most of Molina's punches hit his guard. But you CANNOT win a fight looking cool and calm "hey, he's just punching my guard, psss."

I hope he watches the fight now, he must.

 

funny thing is he was saying he was gonna come out and look impressive like Rigo did.

It doesnt look like he has progressed on the inside department either. I have been looking for it and no change. I used to be high on the kid and said he would rule MW but i just dont see it anymore. Seems to be staying the same

 

Exactly, he hasn't progressed. If you have no inside game, then you must let your hands go, not stay there in a shell.

He does a great shell, BTW.
