Erislandy Lara vs Danny Garcia (WBA Middleweight Title Bout | Breakdown and Prediction)

[@xRamim]

Love that you changed your mind mid video Woog - shows how much you think about these fights. I think two factors you really are leaving out for Danny Garcia: - Hes 36. Yes Lara is 41... but DG is 36 with only one fight in the past 4 years. - DG is coming up to 160 (157 catchweight but still). That weight, paired with his age, is going to do a number on his speed. DG is not gonna be able to carry that pop up to this weight class, but more importantly: he won't be able to counter Lara fast enough due to the added weight. I think Lara takes this comfortably, and wouldn't be surprised if he even stops DG. Definitely not from a 1-shot because of DG's legendary chin, but I wouldn't be surprised if the ref jumps in.

I think we'll be able to tell pretty early if Lara's able to pull away in this one. If the first 3 rounds look super-competitive, then Danny's got a shot. Lara stopping Danny would be an entertaining outcome. I can see this fight unfairly resulting in a controversial draw too.

Lara decision. Danny won’t throw enough to win on the cards & doubt he stops Lara

This one should be a complete mismatch. Danny Garcia, in his prime, was painfully easy to hit and had poor footwork. He really hasn't done himself any favors either by being so inactive, having had only four fights the last five years. Erislandy should have no problem beating him Saturday--even at 40+ years of age. Danny gets busted up rather easily, and is no defensve genius. Lara by stoppage. As for hall-of-fame status, neither guy deserves it. Danny was on his way and had some big wins early, but has lost all his signature fights versus Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter, and Errol Spence Jr..

I just don’t think Lara can win a decision. He will get robbed if this fight goes to the cards.

Good point. I can see this fight LOOKING like a Lara decision win, but ending up a Draw (which has +1600 odds!)
