    Will there be a documentary for Lara like there was for Bret Hart?
    Probably not.
    Haymon might be trying to actually make money in boxing now. He tried but his plan was not fruitful for his investors and he HAS to start getting these guys to fight harder.

    Straight after that trout fight I said Lara takes this boy to the classroom for a good schooling. I stick by what I said

    Lara close decision, with the possibility of him losing or drawing by US scoring.

    This is one Lara fight you won't want to blink, @ any moment cuban glass could shatter. Hurd is just too much pressure, too much size, too versatile, too much power, too accurate. Lara might get by if Hurd only had a couple of those advantages but combine them all and it's game over.

    I don't want to see any crying about size, Lara has 74" reach and looked bigger than Canelo so did Trout to be fair. The fact that Hurd is much larger than all 3 is just a natural advantage, just like speed and power. Hurd never misses weight, came in @ 153 vs Trout.

    With comprehensive and undisputed wins over Trout and Lara does that make Hurd the best 154lber of all times? Canelo arguably lost to both and then came close to beating GGG? Lara schooled Canelo worse than GGG did?

    Its tough going 12 rounds with Jarrett Hurd!!!

    Wouldn't be surprised if he shows shades of him in the ring, although in fairness Hurd is far meaner than Loma

    Why do you call two punches life and death? Lara was knocked down twice, get up and put a beating on perro. The one that almost die but was smart enough to quit was angulo.

    Pressure may tire Lara. If a smaller Angulo, or Canelo, could start catching up to Lara, I'd like to think a bigger Hurd could as well. Hurd isn't less skilled than Angulo in my opinion.

    I'm not sold on Hurd at all.

    I was watching some of his fights last night, the Dan and the Trout fight.

    Exciting as he is he is yet to go in with a puncher and he gets hit way to easy, now Lara may not be the biggest of punchers but he does command your respect.

    The fight hinges on what is left of Lara, I've got Lara by UD.

    Loved to have seen Angulo v Hurd.

    Hurd I have a feeling doesn't have Angulo's chin, and he definitely doesn't have his power. Angulo has one punch KO power, Hurd wears you down with volume, do you really think he could land clean enough on Lara for long enough to do that type of damage? Also Lara has deceptive power, there's a reason why people don't try to walk through his punches, I doubt Hurd has Vanes' or Canelo's chin either he was getting jolted by Trout's straight lefts, he looked on the verge of being TKO'd at one time against him. He'll pay dearly if he tries to walk through Lara's power shots.
