Not a bad move, especially if you put it on Floyd's undercard in Sept. It would make the winner a more attractive opponent for Floyd. Not sure how they're gonna justify whomever emerges the winner as a "unified" WBA/IBF champ when Floyd is also holds the WBA title. But this is boxing. Doesn't have to make sense to do it.
That said, I think Thurman or Quillen would be a better option for Lara. He needs a statement fight. And both of those would be bigger "statements" than the Molina-Jermall winner.
