Boxing schedule for the month of June
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
Guess the site was down for a day. Anyway well we had some good fights lastnight. Gary Russell Jr. looks as good as advertised. To bad there isnt much comp in his division. He needs to move up already. We had to good fights in the Jr. Middleweight class as Lara and K9 both won. K9 was one of the leading candidates to fight Canelo and he didnt get scratched so that fight is possible. K9 called him out after the fight also. As for Lara they seem to not want to fight him but he should also be one of the leading candidates. I think they would both give Canelo a good fight and they would both be dangerous fights which is one reason they dont want him to fight Lara. Lara actually should be undefeated as he really beat Paul Williams but got jobbed by the decision. Got Em!!
thought lara looked good,
especially 2nd half of fight just pounding
Hernandez. too bad he couldn't get the ko.
hernandez to his credit kept coming forward
and kept things interesting, certainly showed a
good chin tonight considering he got kod in one
by berto.
gary Russell jr absolutely destroyed perez. such
fast combos. he's ready to step up.
k9 spinks exactly like the first fight, spinks is well past his best days.

K9 beat up Spinks so bad that Spinks wife tried to jump in the ring to save him. Lara won a 10 rounds UD with a guy Berto knockout out in one round, but yet Berto is called overrated and Lara gets hyped up for some reason. Russell Jr has real handspeed and power, he ko'ed dude with no probem, time for him to step up against better fighters. Good night of boxing. Roy Jones Jr will die in the ring.
Well if Berto wouldnt have gotten knocked out he would still have all the hype he once had. U know how that goes once u get ko'd. Look at Paul Williams after he lost to Martinez. Lara still has hype because he should actually be undefeated. Now if say Lara & Berto fought who do I think would win? Not sure actually haha. Got Em!!
Right my bad. That fight was so brutal that I keep thinkin he got ko'd haha. He did get dropped a few times and in that people will tend to question u on top of losing the fight. His mystique wore off I guess u could say. I still think he is good but he needs to get back in the ring and out of the news. Got Em!!
lara has been getting praised for quality wins especially beating paul Williams so easily.
berto if u recall never fought a top guy, his best opponent to date is Victor Ortiz which of course he lost.
but berto can be very explosive and he was against Freddie that night.
molina also didn't beat up lara, molina did his typical smothering tactics and made a very boring fight much like he did to kirkland. maybe lara should have lost that decision but it was more of lara not letting his hands go, then more of molina doing anything. since then lara has been a lot more aggressive and he's talked about that. similar to how rigondeaux is more aggressive since that one boring and close fight he had.

Lara didn't beat Paul Williams easily at all. He did hit Paul with the left all night but don't act like Paul wasn't landing on Lara all night too.
Lara landed 224 punches and Paul landed a 200 punches. Close fight actually. Lara needs to keep winning and the big fight will come. I put Trout, Kirkland, and Molina all ahead of him.

yes lara won so easily all three judges to this day are still suspended. there was nothing close about winning almost every round.
using those compubox numbers mean nothing considering lara was blasting Williams with the left hand at will while Williams threw ineffective punches. there is no debate here since it is widely viewed as one of the worst robberies in recent time.
but if u guys want canelo to fight someone else good luck finding a guy as credible as lara and ranked in the top 5 like lara. have fun watching Quintana or K9. why anyone would oppose lara vs canelos beyond me, unless you're golden boy and know lara would beat him.

Fuck Molina. I hate watching him fight. To me his style is dirty and its not boxing. I could not give him props for that sorry. Got Em!!
I do think Lara won atleast 9 rounds in my book so I would say it wasnt that close of a fight. I was shocked to because this was Paul's comeback fight and I expected more. I wouldnt put Molina ahead of Lara but u can argue the other 2. Its funny because to me Kirkland doesnt get his props. He is always ranked very low in his weight division. Got Em!!
