Thread: Paul Williams v. Erislandy Lara & Vanes v. Latimore?

Is team Lara cashing out? Did Williams choose too tough of an opponent for his comeback fight? I would like to see Williams win, but Lara has a lot of experience. What say you?

Speaking of junior middleweights, since for some reason Saul Alvarez isn't fighting Vanes Martirosyan even though Martirosyan fought two eliminators for the opportunity, it looks like Martirosyan and Latimore might fight an eliminator for the chance to fight Bundrage. It's not a bad idea. Who do you like in that one?

Both these fights have potential to be well matched and exciting or complete blowouts. I'm looking forward to both fights though. I'd actually pick Lara over Williams (not in a sig bet type way) I just think his toolset sinks the battleship here. And Vanes should be too much for Latimore.

I'm taking Lara over Williams as well. But I favor Lattimore over Vanes

Latimore definitely has the consistency, I just don't think he has the power to take a victory over Vanes. We'll see though, I'm glad DeAndre is at least getting decent paydays.

It kinda depends on if Williams has "mentally" recovered from that devastating KO by Martinez in his last fight, and what Lara brings to the dance. I'm leaning towards Williams to dominate Lara and win a decision, but we shall see Saturday.

I agree. I think Williams will be just too much for Lara, but I like Williams so I'm a little biased. Pause.

VD hates Vanes so there is no surprise with that pick. Vanes v. Latimore should be a good fight so should Bundrage v. Vanes should Vanes get past Latimore. That would be a tough road to the top. Isn't Dzinziruk fighting a rematch with Koceny (sp?) and I thought I read somewhere that Angulo was on the prowl for a foe.

You guys have all the fun and are spoilt, we get nothing here.
