Danny Garcia, who had a successful career during the Mayweather era, will face Erislandy Lara in an upcoming match. Despite losses to respected fighters like Keith Thurman, Shawn Porter, and Errol Spence, Garcia, a multi-division titleholder, is making a comeback at 36 years old. His opponent, Erislandy Lara, the current WBA middleweight champion, has also been somewhat inactive in recent years.
Both fighters, who are considered past their prime, will face off in what is expected to be an intriguing match, particularly in the middleweight division. Garcia, known for his effective counter punching skills, will be stepping into the middleweight category against Lara, a skilled boxer. Lara’s agility at 41 years old may come into question during the bout.
The Garcia-Lara fight is anticipated to be an exciting showdown, possibly deserving a broadcast on basic cable or a popular streaming service. Scheduled as part of the undercard for the Canelo Alvarez-Edgar Berlanga fight on September 14 in Vegas, this match adds to the anticipation for both fighters’ fans. With the WBA middleweight title up for grabs, the victor of the Lara-Garcia bout is likely to maintain relevance in the boxing scene, despite their age.
