    Lara/Hearns should be fun. I really don't want to see Taylor back in the ring, he was in bad shape the last time he left.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    How good is Noe Gonzales? I admit I haven't seen much of him.

    I believe Kelvin Price is the guy who derailed Tor Hamor's run. I wonder if they'll show his fight on Showtime extreme.

    Jermain isn't the sharpest tack in the box, but if that's what he wants to do, I reckon it's his business. Taylor loves boxing, even after being knocked out 3 times, go figure.

    As for Lara vs. Hearns, lets just say, Ronald doesn't seem to be a chip off the old block, but it should be a decent scrap.

    They don't show it listed on Showtime Extreme Friday night, they might show the results on the reg Showtime card, but as late as it starts (11:00 PM ET) i'm sure they'll only have time for the 2 main events.

    I've gotten where I like Taylor. He's a nice guy, and its not his fault HBO shoved him relentlessly down our throats n gave him at least 1 decision against Bernard, I think two.

    Anyway I hope Taylor wins and looks good, if so he could make for a great opponent for Chavez or Martinez.

    Lara should dominate, Hearns is all heart just like McGirt's kid, but he just doesn't have the power of talent of his Dad.

    Hoping to see Taylor win here, which he should. He should take another fight or two at this level before attempting a run at the top guys

    If Taylor wants a shot at another belt, I believe Sturm is the perfect fight. He doesn't hit especially hard. He's not going to beat Taylor on activity. He's not as fast as Jermain. Jermain could make good money going to Germany for the fight. Jermain should stay away from punchers. Martinez hits too accurately and hard for Jermain. Chavez Jr. is promoted by Top Rank so I doubt that fight will happen.

    If you want my opinion of what will happen with Junior's career, assuming he gets by Lee, is that he'll either face Martinez or he'll vacate the belt to avoid Martinez and face Pavlik. Canelo isn't big enough to get in the ring with Junior although that would be the most popular fight in Mexico by far.

    I've always liked Taylor, I just didn't like seeing him get his head caved in.

    I hope he doesn't get seriously hurt. He suffered a brain bleed against Abraham. If he's going to fight on, I'd keep him away from anybody who can punch.

    Adonis Stevenson is no world beater, his record is: 17-1 with 14 KO's isn't as good as Noe Gonzalez' record: 28-1 with 20 KO's. Looks like a toss up to me and it should be competitive.

    Lara should dominate Hearns

    Last night I watched some YouTube footage of Noe Gonzales and he looks to be a puncher with a little bit of boxing ability. I only viewed two of his fights so it's not in any way a conclusive evaluation. Although Sampson Lefkowitz believes he'll knock Stevenson out, I tend to favor Stevenson in this fight. Agreed?
