By Lyle Fitzsimmons - If nothing else, Erislandy Lara has adjusted well to being jilted.
Though he considered himself a clear winner when matched with Canelo Alvarez, he hasn’t spent the 16 months since the disappointment result plying his sadness with ice cream and binge TV.
He’s OK. And he can talk about it these days without tears.
“My mind is that I won the fight,” Lara said. “In this game I’ve been though it before, like in the Paul Williams fight. Another fight where I won the fight but didn’t get the decision. Look, I’ve moved on. I’m a headliner. I headlined my own show in Chicago, which was a good show, and now I’m down here in Miami on ESPN. One of the biggest sports events, the day before Thanksgiving. I’m excited.”
Indeed, Lara will tend to his own business on Wednesday night about 10 miles from downtown Miami, where he’ll risk the IBO share of the 154-pound kingdom against No. 17 contender Jan Zaveck at the Hialeah Park Racing & Casino complex. [Click Here To Read More]

Even Canelo isn't dumb enough to go up to 160 against Golovkin and he actually has the size and is built like a tank.
