💥 Lara vs Danny Fight: The Long Road to the Match

This eagerly anticipated clash between Erislandy Lara and Danny Garcia has been a long time coming. Initially scheduled for August 2023 and later postponed, the fight will now take place on September 14th as part of the Canelo vs. Berlanga card in Las Vegas.

Garcia, widely regarded as one of the top welterweights of his generation, aims to become a three-weight world champion. He has previously achieved success in both light welterweight and welterweight divisions.

Lara, who made his professional debut in 2008, is known for his slick and cunning fighting style. He is a two-weight world champion and his impressive performance against Zerafa in March, where he defended his WBA belt against a formidable contender, adds even more intrigue to this bout. Garcia will be competing at 160 pounds for the first time, making this match-up particularly compelling for fight fans.

🏆 Fighters History

According to the bookies for the fight Erislandy Lara is the favourite to retain his WBA middleweight belt against Danny Garcia. Both have had illustrious careers in the professional ranks and are both two weight world champions.

Lara was doubted by some before his title defence against Michael Zerafa as being too old to still compete at the top table, but he undoubtedly put any doubts to bed with a dominant display against the highly rated Zerafa stopping him in the second round. Garcia is having his first fight at 160 pounds against Lara but has declared to have no worries about the jump in weight. The most worrying thing for fans of the Philadelphia fighter is the fact that this fight will be his first action for over two years. His last fight was an impressive victory at 154 pounds against Jose Benavidez Jr.

Overall, Erislandy Lara is in position to win this fight. He looked as good as ever winning in March, taking out Zerafa in two rounds, and if he can use all his ring craft and defensive skills to absorb what Garcia throws at him, he should be able to take the fight after going the distance.
