Erislandy Lara vs. Austin Trout in play for the Mayweather-Alvarez undercard

[Onetime]

I'm not sure Lara-Trout is the fight to give casuals though I love the fact Trout is willing to take less money to be on this card vs a very hard opponent in Lara.

My card would be:

Floyd vs Canelo

Garcia vs Lucas

Quillin vs Rosado

Figueroa vs Demarco, Rees, Molina Abril or Bogere .

I like Lara here. He'll out Trout Trout and Austin doesn't fall in love with the mentality of an aggressor. If Alvarez is picking spots late and boxing you Lara should do ok with accuracy.

Agreed, I actually see this as a pretty good matchup for Lara. His stock dropped a little for me after Angulo gave him so much hell, but Trout can't pull any big shots out of the fire like that and seemingly doesn't have to many gears after he's been hurt. I'd envision this being a pretty tight boxing match with Lara's better technique ruling it.
