His legs are clearly not what they once were

He is 40, that gotta show somewhere, I remember Lara in his fight against Paul Williams, one of my favorite fights to watch even tho the judges were criminal, I wish he wins but over all I wish he stays healthy, boxing is not joke, he is been boxing since he was 5 or 6 years old and very actively, that gives you chronic headaches, lost of eyesight and many others stuff, go Lara!!!

Yeah but he hasn't got the legs anymore hasn't had them for a long time. It's why he has to stand and bang with guys now in fights. Even as far back as the jarret hurd fight because the Lara of old would of moved and outboxed hurd all night in that fight but he didn't have the legs to move all 12 rounds so had to stand and bang and got pipped in a close fight

Only if he had cajones like Barroso. This guys is as boring as Shakur and Rigo, and feather fisted like Shakur.

I didn’t know Nonito was training fighters. He’s been in some wars and has taken some brutal beatings. I never heard of Zerafa and still scratch my head trying to figure out how he could possibly be Lara’s mandatory.

We all know Tszyu is a far superior fighter compared to this Zerafa dude. Are they putting this guy against Lara as a sacrificial lamb so Tszyu can use him as a sparring partner down the road? Lara may be considered old for boxing, but the Cuban should be able to easily feast off this dude. So here you have an unknown boxer who someone had to pay somebody to get his mando spot with a fighter I respect, but has no training experience, and you think this kindergarten duo can beat Lara? I’m LMFAO mates.

the male stripper from down under is going to undress Lara in the ring, physically.

[Roadblock]

Lara is a class above Zeraffa, I see Lara stopping him.

Zerafa has been patient happy to get his shot but he isn’t well liked in Australia after pulling out of a fight with Tszyu at the last minute a few years back. Who knows how Lara is going to look after his recent inactivity and age.

You gotta force him to fight and he will.

Williams, Angulo, Hurd and Trout all had action fights with lara
