**last night scoring , a set back for great defensive boxers in history**

Please don't call Lara a great defensive fighter. His defense is lacking, his movement is there though. He's still there to be hit, once he stops. That doesn't make him a great defensive fighter. Calling him a great defensive fighter is a setback to great defensive fighters in history.

 

Let's face it.

Cuban fighters all exhibit the highest level of the sweet science. Their art will not be appreciated in a world filled with mediocre talents who are simply not coordinated enough to emulate the style.

For a Cuban fighter to get respect in this UFC dominated mindset culture, he has to not only show the defensive side of the art, but also the "make-him-miss" and make-him-pay-big" as Rigo did in Rigo-Donaire or Hopkins did to Pascal II.

Otherwise, although the superior practiser of the sweet science, he will be robbed on the score cards.
