Vanes Martirosyan vs. Erislandy Lara on HBO BAD

[Rantcatrat]

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.

Alrighty, here we go with the HBO BAD card (a double header), Papa, Kellerman, and Jones Jr. calling the action, first up Miguel Angel "Mikey" Garcia vs. Jonathan Barros, 10 rounds, junior lightweights.

The main: Vanes Martirosyan vs. Erislandy Lara, 12 round will be up next.

[Kirkland Laing]

Lara wins on points.

Nice by Garcia. He was getting tested.

[Mars_ax]

Officially an 8th round TKO for Garcia after smacking Barros down with a left hook on the temple.

[IamInuit]

2-zip Lara

That sucks

[IamInuit]

Lara imo.

[IamInuit]

That is fair I suppose.

[Mars_ax]

The main up next, Vanes Martirosyan vs. Erislandy Lara.

[Mars_ax]

Vanes has Roach in his corner, that has to help.

[Spicoli]

Lara seriously looking to set traps. I gave Vanes first
