Two Days Until Lara loses His Zero!

Ya -- It should be a good fight. Some of these posts made me laugh out loud. It's pretty clear that most of these guys no nothing about Brewer beyond his record on Box Rec. Grady Brewer can ****ing fight, and as a pro Lara hasn't faced anything close to this level. If Lara just blows Brewer out, it would speak volumes about how good he is. Right now I'm a long way from convinced that Lara is the real deal.

In my opinion Grady is the ultimate gate keeper. If Lara is not for real, Brewer will make that clear. If Lara is as good as his amatuer accomplishments suggest he might be, he'll handle Brewer with ease. If he does that, they can fast track him to a title shot.

 

That's my whole point. I'm not really excited about Lara at this point. However, if he can stop Brewer, or pitch something close to a shut out, I'll say he's "as good as advertised."

As far as I'm concerned this is Lara's coming out party. Most of these louts on ESB probably don't even realize that the last two undefeated prospects B.B. faced had a combined record of 33-0 with 25 KO's. Both had more fights against better fighters than Lara has faced as a pro. Grady stopped both inside 3 rounds.

Lara's management has him in a high risk/low reward situation with this fight. It's a gutsy move, but it may also prove to be a stupid move.

 

That is a reasonable scenario. This blend of styles could in fact make a very boring fight.

 

Exactly:deal

Lara fought a 10 rounder in his 9th pro fight. Now he is taking on Grady Brewer in another 10 rounder in his 10th pro fight. They are moving this kid along really fast. If they are moving him too fast, Brewer will let them know about it:yep
