Vanes Martirosyan vs. Erislandy Lara on HBO BAD

[TheMacMagician]

Really lookin forward to this one. I like Lara. He had a tough night against Molina, but he certainly isn;t the first. So did Kirkland, after he absolutely straightened out Alfredo Angulo too.

Lara is a very good fighter I think and has upped his game since the Molina fight. I have Lara by WIDE UD....

I thought this was going to be on Box Nation but can't see it anywhere?

Lara is a big betting favorite (-700). He should be. He's been in with better fighters, including Molina and Williams. He's also a southpaw, and he appears faster of foot than Vanes. Vanes has pedigree himself (former Olympian), but I've always wondered why he has been moved so slowly. He's one those guys who hasn't taken risky fights, content on waiting for a pay day against a name, which hasn't come. This is his first truly risky fight. It seems like a dumb risk too considering it is doubtful that Canelo faces the winner of this fight if he can face Martinez, Cotto or Mayweather for big-time m$ney.
