YAY!!!! A fight I've been drooling over. A fight that will clear up the fogginess in the LMW division. Let's hope there's no injuries to derail it.

Does anybody believes it will get made. I'm negative and I know I will be till I see them both at press conference.
Would be great fight, even though I belive Vanes style for Lara.

Vanes's promoter won the bid. Why would they have their fighter pull out??

I am actually hearing that it's Lara's side that isn't all that warm to a fight with Vanes while everyone I have talked to on Vanes side does indeed plan to go forward with it

And I will be taking bets that Vanes wins too.

I knew Arum wasn't gonna let GB put Vanes on their Sept 15 card.

Yea, Lara's people been saying since the purse bid was announced that they wanna look for a title shot instead of trying to fight Vanes. But if there's no title shot they need to go on with this fight.

I don't trust Golden Boy anymore, ball is on their side right now.
They doesn't seem to care about Lara too much so maybe they can take a chance with him.
But on the other hand this fight happening will force them to match Canelo with the winner, so I would think they would rather not see it at all.
I'll just wait, excuse me with being a bit pesimistic with all that **** going on in boxig .

This is why I think arum but down the big money. He's the only man alive that can force the wbc to make ginger fight Vanes if he wins. Why would arum get his fighter this fight if he's guaranteed the money fight next??
