Lara looked sharp against Canelo in 2014, and many still argue he should’ve won that fight. But time catches up with everyone, and both Lara and Garcia have been in some wars. Garcia moving up to middleweight could be a big challenge, especially against someone as experienced at this weight as Lara.

I do agree, Lara might or could have won that fight against Canelo, one judges thought he did, but the 2 over ruled him. His jab is very effective against Canelo that time. And how time flies though, it has been 10 years ago and Canelo and Lara are still very much active, although they could be in the decline.

I agree that the fight could be slow-paced given their age and inactivity, but there’s still a lot on the line. If either of them can pull off a solid win, a unification bout with Adames would spice things up in an otherwise thin division. I’m leaning towards Lara by decision, but with both fighters looking to make a statement, it could go either way. Whoever loses will probably be hanging up the gloves for good!

It's going to be a make or break for both of this two fighters, maybe the loser will have to quit or hang up as they might have a lot of wear and tear in this body and not the same anymore. They are just prolonging their career here but sooner or later, father time will catch up with them. Good if they can have a fight with Adames or the other champion for unification.

Lara is the more active of the two although he is way older at 41 years old. He might be active though, but it seems that he fought tomato can fighters, reaching and becoming a champion again. I like his jab though, lefty and he uses it wisely, and I do agree that he could have won the fight against Canelo back then.

But Danny Garcia still possesses a nifty left hook, although I would say that he is not elite because once he step up the competition, he usually losses. And we will be having a hard time connecting that left hook because Lara has a good defense as well and as I have said, his strength will be in his jab to keep Garcia at bay. I will go with Lara here but probably in a decision win.

The game is doesn’t matter in the sports,because we know many old age people also making some world records.I had recently come across Mary Kom,who was the boxer had good record at her old ages.So my preference was Lara with good sportsman skills to make some good change in this game.The Lara will target for the K.O match against the Danny,but the twist in the game may occur at any point.Because as we know Danny also had good records in their current matches,So the match situation will be do or die.

Lara is the slight favorite in this fight,

Boxing fans, what are your thoughts on this fight?

Both are great boxers and Danny Garcia himself was once champion in two different classes and for Erislandy Lara is also the holder for the WBA super middle class.
Of course Erislandy Lara is the favorite and is favored in his fight against Danny Garcia, but I doubt this match will end quickly as many people have talked about the chances for Erislandy Lara to get KO victory.
I think Danny Garcia can also give surprise that might make him win, I sure this fight will end in full round and the winner is based on the decision, the chances for Danny Garcia are also quite good.

For some boxing fans, I believe they will bet on Garcia as his name is more popular than Lara. So upset can happen on this match. That is, if Garcia comes prepared and well-trained. But if Lara comes prepared also, then, it can give Lara the winning chance by decision. Let us see, I think the odds can slightly change once the fight is nearing its date.
Garcia is the challenger so it is on him how he will face Lara to acquire the belt. Without preparation, Lara can easily retain the belt. In most cases, boxing is all about preparation/training and how their coach is mentally and physically preparing for the fight of his boxer.

Danny Garcia has never fought at middleweight and that is why Lara is the favorite. Both are well past their prime and are older in age so I would expect this to be a slow paced fight. They have both been semi-retired but whoever looses should definitely retire for good. I imagine the winner will have the opportunity to unify with Adames, although I have doubts if Danny Garcia still has the motivation to continue. Even if he wins, he might choose to retire and go out as a champion.

Both might be past their prime, but Lara is more active than Garcia hence, that might be a big factor on this upcoming classical match.
I still remember how slick Lara is and how good he is on defense, but it's been a long time since he got a big fight, and so does Garcia that hasn't been on the ring for around 2 years. That might affect his performance coming to this fight, and the fact that he never had a fight on Middleweight division is also a factor as well.

Nevertheless, this is a make or break decision for Garcia. 3 fights in the last 4 years (this would be the 4th one) for me isn't a good sign. I mean it would be better if you're still active, fighting at least once or twice per year. If Lara has a disadvantage for this match, that would be the age, but his active still so I don't see it that much of a problem from him.

If I will predict between the two, I'd go with Lara as well, but let's enjoy the fight still.

I vote for Garcia on this based on their experience and winning percentage. He is younger compared to his opponent Lara but I never see the impact of it. In many boxing events, experience is a huge advantage, and Garcia has a bigger chance to win the fight. Of course, this will never be an easy win for him as his opponent has also an excellent record but yes, it all depends on the actual situation because both of them want to win and surely give their best.
By now, Garcia is still the favorite which is quite obvious how it gains like that. But I see this as an interesting and close fight.

Yeah, but he had outgrown the 154 lbs already and that's why he move up in weight and then challenge Lara.

They are in the twilight of their career, but I think it's good to see them fight as pro instead of like some exhibition matches. I guess they still want to proved something even if they know that they are no longer in their primes. I like the Adames fight for whoever wins here, but I say that this division is not that stack up as well so this is a good chance for this two boxers, if anything left with them, to win some more belts before they retire.

...I think Lara is too confident, I mean being confident is okay but don't underestimate anyone, especially those who already have experience like Garcia, which as in the quote I got...

Both fighters have been very respectful towards each other, a little too respectful if you as me. A singular statement does not stand out over all the other comments they have had about the match and you can be sure the media will try to make their headlines as polarizing as possible.

Confidence is also key and publicly saying you will win puts you under personal pressure to elevate your training and preparation. It does not suggest any opponent is underestimating the other.

Well I still wanted to see this fight even though they are no longer in their primes. Lara though is the natural bigger guy here, the older, but very much active as compare to Danny Garcia. Danny's best weight class though could be in the 147 lbs division because during his prime this division is pretty much stack up, but he losses to the best of them. And after the move to 154 lbs had a not very impressive campaign.

Now this is his last chance to win another belt, I don't know, but maybe the age of Lara will finally reveal itself. Boxers are also as good as in their last fight, and so with that, I might go with the underdog here to win by decision.

"Ahead of the world boxing duel, Erislandy Lara confirmed his readiness to KO Danny Garcia, a former world champion in two different classes."

Every fighter has the intention to knock his opponents out, although Lara might possesses a knockout power, Danny Garcia's chin is solid throughout in his career and I haven't seen him touching the canvass.

Quote from: Jody.Drummer on September 09, 2024, 08:11:16 PM

That's the quote I got from one of the news about this match that will take place later. Looking at the chances of victory between each of these fighters by showing that Garcia has a greater chance of winning than Lara, I think Lara is too confident, I mean being confident is okay but don't underestimate anyone, especially those who already have experience like Garcia, which as in the quote I got, Garcia is a former world champion in a different class. Of course Garcia is not an easy opponent to beat and I think Lara saying he will KO Garcia can be a weapon for himself that can embarrass him if Garcia is the one who will KO him.

Garcia is the underdog and so according to sports bookies, he has obviously the greater chance of not winning. Nevertheless, we have seen huge underdog winning their fights and taking the belt from the champion. And Danny Garcia is his career has beaten a few good fighters and also become a champion. So we will see if he still can pull the trigger and bring damage to Lara and win.

I think Lara too is the champion of WBA and then Danny Garcia is ranked 10 in this organization. So in paper it might look to be a good fight, but Lara is the obvious favorite. However, I was not able to follow Lara's career, and I thought the had hang up his gloves many years ago.

Yes, both are way past their primes, and probably fighting for the paycheck. Danny Garcia though could have gotten busy in his career after vacating 147 lbs. Janibek Alimkhanuly holds the IBF and WBO, so if Lara wanted to unify it should be on Janibek, Adames though holds the WBC.

It's good to be confident if you can back up all the talks here. But I think Danny Garcia has a good chance in his fight. Looking at the age of Lara, he is already way past his primes as we have said. So he shouldn't be that confident here although I think his belt is on the line as this division seems to be weak.

We might see Garcia getting back the hands of time, so still boils down to the game plan. If it is going to be slow phase, I reckon that Lara has the advantage, but if the fight goes on a fast phase specially in the first 6 rounds, Danny Garcia has a great chance to pull an upset.

This is some old school fight, this boxers are relevant around 2015 era if I'm not mistaken. But still good that they are still here although the hype is no longer in their names. Lara is too technical though that's why he was able to stay in the game even at age 40.

And then Danny Garcia, his signature left hook, comparable to Nonito Donaire during his prime. For Danny Garcia to win, he needs to brawl, or force Lara to fight him in the middle or even in the corner, but not let him dictate the tempo with his superior jab. Danny Garcia should be the aggressor here and make Lara not comfortable as he might not have enough gas tank to last a full 12 rounds.

Lara is the more active of the two although he is way older at 41 years old. He might be active though, but it seems that he fought tomato can fighters, reaching and becoming a champion again. I like his jab though, lefty and he uses it wisely, and I do agree that he could have won the fight against Canelo back then.

But Danny Garcia still possesses a nifty left hook, although I would say that he is not elite because once he step up the competition, he usually losses. And we will be having a hard time connecting that left hook because Lara has a good defense as well and as I have said, his strength will be in his jab to keep Garcia at bay.

I know that this two could have been in their cross road of their careers. But I still it's worth to look at this fight, in my opinion. And for sure others might agree that Lara schooled Canelo when they fought in 2014 and should have won that fight. Unfortunately, he was robbed and lost by SD.

While Danny Garcia's prime, he fought the best of 147 lbs and lost to Spence, Porter and Thurman.

But now, they have move on and be at fighting at middle weight now.

Lara is the slight favorite in this fight,
