(Credit: Lucas Noonan/Premier Boxing Champions) By Dan Ambrose: It looks like WBA World junior middleweight champion Erislandy Lara (22-2-2, 13 KOs) will be sticking it out at 154 unless he gets one of the big names from the middleweight division to face him. Lara says he wants fights against Miguel Cotto and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, and would be willing to move up to the 160lb division to make those fights happen.
Unfortunately, the 32-year-old Lara could be waiting for the rest of his career for those fights to happen, because neither of those fighters have mentioned Lara’s names recently. It’s not likely that Cotto and Canelo will bother fighting Lara at this point.

By Chris Williams: With 32-year-old WBA World junior middleweight champion Erislandy Lara (21-2-2, 12 KOs) having exhausted all the possibilities of big money fights in the 154lb division after his controversial 12 round split decision loss to Saul “Canelo” Alvarez last year in July 2014, Lara is reportedly going to be moving up to the middleweight division [160] after his title defense this month against 39-year-old #8 WBA Jan Zaveck (35-3, 19 KOs) on Wednesday, November 25th on Premier Boxing Champions on ESPN at the Hialeah Park Race Track, in Hialeah, Florida.

By Dan Ambrose: Unbeaten welterweight contender Keith Thurman (20-0, 18 KO’s) made a fan out of former IBF welterweight champion Jan Zaveck (32-3, 18 KO’s) after being him badly in a one-sided 12 round unanimous decision last Saturday night on the Bernard Hopkins vs. Tavoris Cloud undercard on HBO.
