    Good enough to beat PW.

    Its funny how we were watching the fight-with friends at home-and admiring how good Lara was fighting, i actually predicted he was losing last night.But i was excited of how excellent his game plan was executed to beat that giant.One of our friends-someone who doesnt know **** about boxing and came just for the beers and food- was pointing that if Lara didnt KO PW,he was gonna get robbed...and we were laughing at him.Today he had called me like 3 times to remind me he was right.

    he has great skills but his stamina gets to him in the later rounds. In the first 5 rounds his offensive is very crisp.

    I think hes very good, a draw with Molina isnt a bad thing imo. I think highly if Molina too.

    Very slick but not yet proven. I need to see more. I don't know how he'll handle pressure fighters with a chin and power. You can only run for so long.

    He didnt run in his fight... That was good boxing and using the ring smart. Running is when you just move around and dont engage. Lara was beating that ass up. And Williams is one of the busiest fighters in the game and couldnt outland Lara.

    I know he didn't run. But he was moving. And i'm saying that against a guy who is more rugged and able to put his punches together better is the type of fighter who might give him trouble. Lara put on a schooling last night, no doubt.
