Lara ain't that good. For all his technical expertise, he's a one-dimensional strike-n-flee fighter. He's a poor man's Rigondeaux, like I've said all along.

Lara up by 4 rounds. Beautiful boxing display . Robbery possible.

I don't have a bit of faith in Sin City judges, or judges period while they're judging in Sin City.

From my Manila, thrilla, chilla, acting like a gorilla, Lara clearly whupped arse. Holla!
