Two Days Until Lara loses His Zero!

Anyone have any recent footage on Brewer? At his best he would've given Lara all kinds of hell and likely would have decisioned him wide... but I don't know how sharp he looks these days.

 

I favor Lara, but not by that great of odds. Lara has the obvious youth, power, speed, athleticism.

But Brewer is a sort of poor mans Glen Johnson. He can do it all more or less.

If Brewer wins, it will be by simply fighting smarter than Lara and capitalizing on mistakes. Countering him, fighting dirty, making him uncomfortable, finding holes in his defense. He has to make Lara fight his fight

 

His fight against K-9 Bundrage is on youtube my good sir. I warn you though, it's not what one would consider aesthetically pleasing.

 

i got lara with the win but isnt brewer known for taking guy's 0's from their record?

 

Interesting question. Let's take a look at the Rec to see how accurate that is.

He beat Marquez Reed who was 7-0-1 at the time.
Lost to 9-0-1 Jesse Gonzalez
Beat 6-0-2 Pedro Alvarez
Lost to 8-0 Kelly Pavlik
Lost to 9-0 Jermain Taylor
Beat 16-0 Miguel Martin
Beat 15-0 AT1 Anthony Thompson
Beat 18-0 Albert Onolunose

So basically he's 5-3 against undefeated fighters. That's pretty good in my estimation. I also think it's interesting that the prospects he beats all have flamed out after their original loss.

In summation, if he loses to Lara there's a good chance Lara is going to go on to do outstanding things ala Taylor and Pavlik. If he beats him? Might as well sell the farm on the guy;

 

Before even looking at the username under the thread title, I was laughing from the gut and shaking my head saying "oh, boo".

Well, while nobody is as big a Grady fan as boo, least of all me, it would be nice for a faded ex-champ to get a win over a prospect, as the karma's due for a momentum shift. Especially in light of the Ouma-Martirosyan robbery.

As it is, I expect Lara to beat Brewer (and Bundrage to beat the current version of Spinks, unfortunately). Here's hoping I'm wrong. :good

 

Lara will whoop him bigtime in my estimation :yep

 

:good

thanks for the info. Never seen much of grady's fights but it seems he is indeed a live underdog. From what i've seen of Lara i hope he wins and continues on to stardom much like Pavlik and Taylor.

 

oh for **** sakes you're a fan of ANYONE who pavlik beats

 

Lara to win by stoppage in the 3rd round.

 

Lara will KO Brewer at 2.47 of the 2nd!

Should be an interesting fight though.

 

What, is it too tight? :huh I'm confused why he needs to loosen anything? Is "zero" another word for belt? Is he gaining weight??

 

Lara will win.
