Based on recent showings, you'd have to go with Lara.. But looking at how Angulo gave him all kinds of trouble, Id say Kirkland can do just the same, even better probably, depending on what kind of shape he's in..

If Kirkland comes in good shape and without ring rust, I think he'll give a good account of himself..

Lara has too much movement though and he's not willing to engage.. It's hard for brawlers to beat opponents like that..

It's a bad stylistical matchup for Kirkland..

I think somebody like Julian Williams has a good shot to beat Lara in the near future..
