    Its very easy to believe, Lara is a lefty and a lot bigger than Hatton. TBH I was very happy when Lara was announced as one of Hattons sparring partners for the Pac fight as he would have gotten a good workout with a decent lefty. Obviously it didn't end up making too much difference though....

    Lara is a decent lefty, and in my opinion his cover drive is significantly better than Hattons...no contest

    Just out of interest,during 24/7,who was the guy that Hatton knocked down?-either he was KD legitimately and the footage was heavily edited or it was staged to begin with:think

    nah i think that was for real i think the guy hatton put down fights at super feather one of rogers fighters. As for Lara i have no doubts he busted Hatton up as Hatton was bruised up and also Lara's a lot bigger and also a damn fine prospect.

    Not hard to believe at all. The guy is likely at least as good as Hatton...and considering he's bigger and is a southpaw with skill...a guy as limited as Wicky would be easy meat to him.
    It might also partly explain why Hatton looked as apprehensive walking to the ring....he took a beating in sparring and was walking into a beating in the ring. Sparkled out cold inside 2 rounds.

    Does that make Lara the P4P number two then?

    It is true... Lara himself confirmed it here:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqbg3_pzqnU

    It is in spanish yeah and I don't feel like traducing shiet right now but we should take his word as the truth since Lara is not a bullshitter... he's a real humble dude and doesn't want to prove anything to anyone.

    But, as everybody mentionned before, Hatton shouldn't be criticized for this... Lara is just bigger, is a southpaw and an extremely good boxer... if he wasn't able to KO the smaller Hatton he wouldn't be such a good prospect.
