Reporter Sean Crose shares that Erislandy Lara, also known as “The American Dream,” is set to go head-to-head with Danny Garcia as part of the undercard of the Canelo Alvarez-Edgar Berlanga pay-per-view event scheduled for this Saturday. Lara, a talented Cuban boxer, has showcased his skills in the ring over the past decade. Despite being forty-one years old, Lara is still a strong contender, coming off victories in his last four matches, three of which he won by knockout. While he has faced defeats against acclaimed opponents like Paul Williams, Jarrett Hurd, and Canelo, some believe he should have emerged victorious in the Canelo fight.
Contrastingly, Garcia, a renowned fighter hailing from Philadelphia, has seen success in his career with wins against the likes of Amir Khan, Zab Judah, Lucas Matthysse, and others. Nevertheless, Garcia has been absent from the ring for more than two years, leaving uncertainties about his performance in the upcoming match against Lara.
Despite both boxers being perceived as past their prime, the impending battle between Lara and Garcia will determine the superior athlete, making it a captivating spectacle for boxing enthusiasts. Some may argue that this matchup holds more allure on paper than the Canelo-Berlanga fight, which is anticipated to be one-sided. The clash between these two seasoned fighters promises an exhilarating showdown for fans to savor.
