(Photo Credit: Anthony Causi) By Dan Ambrose: WBA junior middleweight champion Erislandy Lara is picking challenger Peter Quillin (32-0-1, 23 KOs) to defeat WBA “regular” middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs (30-1, 27 KOs) in their fight this Saturday night on Showtime from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Lara feels that it’s going to be a competitive fight for the most part, but he sees Quillin ultimately winning because of his better experience against quality opposition. Lara would like to move up to 160 to face winner of the fight. Lara isn’t just targeting the winner of the Quillin vs. Jacobs fight.
